Description

Made for uphill speed. The Vertikal K feels direct and tight as soon as you apply power to the pole, without noticeable flex or lag. Especially during long climbs and vertical races, you notice how little energy is lost between your arm and the ground.

Almost no weight in your hands. Thanks to the lightweight carbon construction, arm movements continue to feel natural, even when the pace is high or fatigue sets in. You notice this especially late in a race, when heavier poles start to feel slower and more strenuous.

Direct contact on technical terrain. The Trail Shark system locks in quickly and securely, keeping you stable on rocks, mud, and steep traverses. During technical descents, you can also quickly release the straps without searching or stopping.

Are you torn between lightweight speed or versatility? Choose this pole if you primarily hike in the mountains and want to climb efficiently. If you are looking for a compact travel pole or an adjustable all-rounder, a folding model is a better fit.

Why LEKI?

Halfway up a long climb you only notice how much a good pole does: your arms take over part of the work and your legs last longer. That is exactly why we have LEKI at Trail.NL.

The German brand from Kirchheim/Teck makes poles for trail running, from aluminium models to light carbon race poles. With the Shark system you click your grip in and out of the strap quickly, handy when you want to eat. Most poles fold down to a packed length that fits in your trail vest, for ultras and mountain trails with plenty of elevation gain.

To us, LEKI is above all a well-thought-out choice: sturdy aluminium or light carbon poles, with a suitable model for every trail runner.

Frequently asked questions

Can I fold the Vertikal K?

No, this is a fixed-length pole. That makes it stiff and light, but on flat sections or descents you carry it in your hand or on your vest or backpack.

Which length do I need?

At our shop the Vertikal K is available in 110 cm. If you are unsure whether this length suits you, ask us before you order: a fixed pole cannot be adjusted.

What is the Vertikal K designed for?

For fast climbing and running in the mountains. Leki states that the pole is not intended as a ski pole or as walking support.
