LEKI Legend Black Carbon trekking pole — Black-Anthracite-Copper 90-120 cm, ultralight with Speed Lock 2 Plus

The LEKI Legend Black Carbon trekking pole is an ultralight, single adjustable hiking pole built from PRC 1000 carbon with an ergonomic Aergomed grip and Speed Lock 2 Plus for quick, secure length changes.

Designed for hikers and backpackers who want a durable, lightweight support that packs small, the Legend balances stiffness and low weight so you get reliable propulsion and stability without bulk. At 8.25 ounces and a 24.8-inch pack length, this pole is meant to go in a pack or clip to a harness, and the combination of a carbon shaft and reinforced Speed Lock 2 Plus keeps it rigid across varied terrain.

How does the Legend help on steep or uneven terrain?

The carbon shaft delivers a high stiffness-to-weight ratio, letting you plant confidently and transfer power efficiently with each stride. Its Nordic basket and carbide Flex Tip Short provide grip on soft ground and harder surfaces respectively, while the rubber trekking pad fits over the tip for paved or rocky stretches.

• PRC 1000 carbon shaft for rigidity and low weight
• Flex Tip Short carbide for dependable bite on firm surfaces
• Rubber pad included for noisy or abrasive terrain
• Nordic basket for snow and mud resistance

How quickly and securely can I adjust the length?

The Speed Lock 2 Plus system uses dual switches to lock the pole at the length you choose and resists slipping under load. Adjustments between 90 and 120 cm are fast and tool-free; once set, the mechanism holds reliably so you won’t need to re-tighten while hiking.

• Dual Speed Lock Plus switches for fast adjustments
• Range: 90–120 cm to suit different users and inclines
• Pack size: 24.8 inches for compact storage
• No tools required to change length on the trail

What comfort features reduce hand fatigue on long outings?

The Aergomed grip combines an ergonomic shape with soft foam to reduce pressure points and improve control during long days. An integrated strap supports wrist placement and lets you relax your hand between pushes without losing contact with the pole.

• Aergomed ergonomic foam grip for cushioned hand support
• Adjustable strap for secure, relaxed wrist positioning
• Grip shape promotes efficient forward push and reduced strain
• Foam material soaks up shock and resists cold transfer

How portable is the Legend for backpacking and travel?

When collapsed to its 24.8-inch pack length and weighing about 8.25 oz, the Legend stows easily in or on a pack without adding much bulk. The single-pole design is perfect for hikers who carry a spare or prefer swapping poles individually while balancing weight and performance.

• Pack length: 24.8 inches for compact storage
• Weight: 8.25 ounces keeps overall pack weight low
• Single-pole option for selective use or emergency backup
• Durable carbon construction withstands repeated use

It's especially useful for users who need a compact, stiff pole that performs across mixed ground and packs down small for travel.
