Ski poles Leki: Buying Guide

Need help to choose your Leki poles? This simple and practical guide will direct you to the ideal pair.

Types of poles

There are three main families: piste, freeride, and racing. For piste skiing, our alpine ski poles offer balance and precision. Freeride models are more robust. They are suitable for powder and technical terrains. For competition, racing models prioritize lightness and aerodynamics.

For off-piste outings and alpine walking, also consider Leki trekking poles, designed for comfort and versatility.

Technical characteristics

• Materials: aluminum (durability) or carbon (lightness).
• Weight: a carbon pole is lighter and absorbs vibrations well.
• Size: measure with your arm bent at 90° or use the approximate rule provided by our in-store advisors.
• Handles: ergonomic, sometimes cork for comfort.
• Systems: quick grip attachment technologies for safety and easy removal.

Available models

Among Leki models, there are high-quality racing and freeride references. Examples: Worldcup racing, Carbon 14 S for performance, and Makalu for versatility. Each model targets a specific use. Compare weight, materials, and grip system to choose.

Buying tips

Determine your practice. Do you ski on piste, off-piste, or in competition? For piste, prioritize rigidity and precision. For freeride, choose robustness and good grip. In racing, the priority is weight and aerodynamics.

Maintenance

Rinse the poles after use. Dry the handles. Check the baskets and replace them if worn. Store them away from moisture.
