Makalu

LEKI Makalu
Proven stability. All-day comfort.

The Makalu is a longstanding benchmark in trekking poles—refined for modern hiking with improved ergonomics and dependable strength. Built around LEKI’s latest Aergon Air grip, it delivers a precise, comfortable hold that reduces fatigue over long distances and varied terrain.

The Aergon Air combines a lightweight structure with a supportive, ergonomic shape that fits naturally in the hand. Its fully rubberised grip head provides confident control on descents, while the angled design promotes efficient wrist alignment and accurate pole placement. Paired with the breathable Lock Security Strap Skin 4.0, it offers a secure, adjustable fit with added safety.

Constructed from heat-treated HTS 6.5 aluminium, the Makalu prioritises durability and stability. The Speed Lock Plus system allows quick, reliable length adjustments, ensuring a solid hold in all conditions. A versatile tip and interchangeable trekking basket provide consistent traction across everything from hard trails to softer ground.
