Leki Makalu FX Carbon AS
Leki says:
The Makalu FX Carbon AS (Antishock) will support you on your next mountain adventure. The Antishock model is equipped with the DSS damping system which ensures a reduction in impact to relieve stress on the muscles joints and ligaments. The newly developed Aergon Air has been improved in countless ways and has been redesigned in terms of comfort and control. Special hollow-core technology combines lightweight construction and large supportive surfaces that meet all the ergonomic requirements of your hand. The back of the Aergon Air grip is fully rubberized for maximum grip and control when going downhill. The inclined angle supports your wrist for optimal guidance and placement of the pole. The Makalu FX Carbon AS provides the ultimate tool for comfortable and secure outings. The Makalu FX Carbon AS is infinitely adjustable using the durable Speed Lock 2 Plus lever system and is available in two options: 110 - 130 cm in a green-blue colorway or 100-120 cm in clay. This pole folds down into compact sections when not in use making it easy to quickly stow away in your pack when not in use. The shorter 100 - 120 cm version also features a more compact foam grip for smaller hands in cork optic and was previously known as Cressida FX Carbon AS. ATTENTION: Always use poles that have DSS tips with baskets. PRODUCT CARE
