SpeedLock

SpeedLock is a completely new system using unique design features to achieve the high locking force and adjustment security that is up to 10 times stronger than other external locks. The red locking lever is a readily identifiable feature of LEKI's new super-fast adjustment technology. The SpeedLock mechanism offers the highest locking force of any external adjustment system on the market, far exceeding the TÜV standard. The simple and easy to use mechanism adjusts quickly and securely even when wearing gloves or when used in rain, ice or snow. Fast, Easy and Reliable.

  • Integrated stainless steel pressure plate allows the red locking lever to apply a vice-like grip on the shaft section to be locked.
  • The fiberglass reinforced polyamide lock mechanism resists stretching unlike other external locks, so SpeedLock poles can be shipped and stored in the locked position without reducing the strength or integrity of the locking strength.
  • The easily accessible "Speed Dial" can be adjusted to provide more locking power (if needed) in extreme conditions.

Soft Antishock - Lite System_Even more trail comfort

  • Innovative modifications to our top pole models with the Soft Antishock - Lite System provides even more comfort.
  • The Soft Antishock System - Lite (SAS-L) is integrated into the lower shaft of the pole, reducing the packing/swing size by 50mm. The optimized packing size increases your freedom of movement in trekking or when transporting your poles.
  • The impact energy is absorbed directly into the lower shaft. The ingenious combination of steel spring and soft elastomer provides precise synchronization between spring strength and compression; making trekking with poles more comfortable than ever, further reducing stress on your body joints, muscles and ligaments.
  • Suspension systems like this have been standard in the car or mountain bike industry for some time now. SAS-L has the potential to establish this standard for trekking poles.

  • Packing/stowing size reduced by 50mm
  • Weight of the Antishock System reduced by 20%
  • ON/OFF function no longer necessary due to limiting of spring travel to 10mm
