LEKI Ultralite Ti Luau Ergometric Poles (Pair)

Ideal for any season, LEKI's popular and versatile Ultralite Ti Ergometric Poles offer performance, a light weight, and durability. The poles feature high-grade aluminum technology, which provides a smaller diameter, thinner wall tubing, and a proprietary heat-treating (tempering) process. The poles have an adjustment range of 62-130 centimeters while LEKI's Super Lock System allows the pole length to be adjusted with the least amount of torque (hand strength) and offers a very secure hold on any terrain and surface. Automatic comfort straps adjust without the use of a buckle for convenience and comfort. Like all LEKI trekking poles, the carbide flextips are replaceable. Shaft sections carry a lifetime warranty against breakage. These poles also feature a limited edition hibiscus flower graphic.

About LEKI

LEKI, the world’s leading manufacturer of ski, hiking and trekking poles, had its start in Kircheim, Germany as a hobby of its founder, Karl Lenhart, an airframe mechanic and avid skier. Lenhart believed aluminum would make a superior ski pole compared to the heavy steel models available in the late 1940’s. After successfully creating lightweight poles for his friends, in 1954, the hobby became a full time business. LEKI originated the use of nylon webbing for straps and created plastic molded grips and baskets in place of metal and leather. Additionally, Lenhart developed an aluminum tempering process that produces pole shaft with incomparable strength, durability, and reliability.

In 1984, Klaus Lenhart, Karl’s son, assumed leadership and shortly there after developed the first dual-component grip. He is also responsible for improving adjustable pole-locking technology and grip innovations such as the Trigger Click-In system and COR-TEC, a material made of real cork and latex. As the ski market continued to flourish, LEKI began manufacturing hiking poles primarily for European mountain guides. The concept of using two poles as means of relieving stress on knee joints and the lower back appealed to climbers who also saw benefits in performance and safety. LEKI poles eventually caught on with the general hiking and trekking population that recognized and appreciated the preventive health benefits as well as the climbing support and stabilizing effects. In 1990, LEKI USA was incorporated. The North American market has embraced the company’s line of alpine, Nordic, back country, mountaineering, Nordic walking, and trekking poles. Like their European counterparts who have been loyal to LEKI for nearly five decades, North American outdoor enthusiasts know and appreciate LEKI quality and value.

• Ergometric grips incorporate the positive angle into the grip, allowing a smaller packing size of the poles (four inches shorter than positive angle shafts)

• Super Lock System offers a secure adjustment hold with the least amount of torque (hand strength required) to offer secure, reliable support

• The Soft Anti-shock System (SAS) features an internal suspension system that cushions the impact of each pole plant for comfort and security

• Carbide flextips are concave, cylindrical tips that provide a secure hold when Nordic walking off-road on all terrain and surfaces; carbide is extremely durable while the entire tip is replaceable
