Leki Makalu Lite

The LEKI Makalu Lite is a three-section aluminium trekking pole pair built for adults who want the dependability of the Makalu platform in a lighter, slimmer construction. At 248 g per pole with a 16|14|12 mm section diameter, it sits meaningfully below the standard Makalu in both weight and bulk, making it particularly well suited to faster-paced mountain days, lighter pack carry, and those who prefer a more nimble pole underfoot. HTS 6.5 aluminium throughout the upper, middle and lower sections delivers the structural reliability expected of the Makalu family, while the Aergon Air grip provides a comfortable, ergonomic hold across varied terrain. The Speed Lock plus locking system handles length adjustment from 110 cm to 130 cm with the same reliable, glove-friendly lever action found across the Active Series. Flex Tip Short (Carbide) and Trekking 2.0 basket cover mixed mountain trail conditions confidently. What’s new for SS26: Updated graphics in Malachite Green / Dark Malachite Green / White.
