Leki Makalu FX Carbon

In the mountains, every detail makes a difference. The Makalu FX Carbon is a pole designed to accompany the hiker through every phase of the outing, from the most challenging climbs to technical descents, with a successful balance of lightness, precision, and reliability.

How are they made?

At the heart of the project is the Aergon Air grip, a solution that combines a hollow structure and large support surfaces, designed to naturally follow the ergonomics of the hand. The result is a secure and comfortable grip even after many hours of use, with immediate control of the pole.

The fully rubberized upper grip significantly increases grip and stability, especially when descending, when precision is crucial. The overall angle also promotes more intuitive pole positioning, contributing to an overall sense of security on variable terrain.

When climbing, the handle extension provides an additional grip, useful for quickly adapting to changes in slope. The Lock Security Strap Skin 4.0 system allows for precise adjustment of the strap, ensuring a stable and personalized connection between hand and pole. Adjustments are managed by the Speed Lock 2 plus, which allows you to change the length of the pole in seconds, even on the move. Made entirely of carbon, the Makalu FX Carbon thus confirms itself as a lightweight yet solid partner, designed for those seeking efficiency and reliability on any type of route.
