The LEKI Vertical K is made for anyone who is seeking pure speed on the trail. Weighing in at just 4 ounces, this featherweight fixed-length carbon pole is now even lighter thanks to the new Trail Shark grip, the first grip-strap system designed 100 % for trail running. Thanks to newly designed air channels, its grip weight has been reduced by 30 % compared to the previous Shark system. The breathable oversized Shark Frame mesh strap fits like a glove and transfers power directly to the center of the pole. The shape of the Trail Shark hook allows the strap to be clicked in and off, on the fly! An additional guiding nose on the lower portion of the grip provides a second grip option and even more precise guidance. The Vertical K also features a sloped Speed Tip made from annealed steel that provides critical grip on every type of terrain. The Vertical K comes in 5 cm increments between 110 cm - 140 cm.
