Leki Ultratrail FX One Running Pole

Poles have become a staple in trail and mountain running, with more offerings on the market than ever before. That means manufacturers need to continue to improve, and Leki did not sit on its laurels with the updated Ultratrail FX.One Running Pole. A 12% decrease in weight from the original is not an insignificant amount, and your arms will thank you after each and every grueling climb. The shortened grip also saves precious grams, and the addition of the nose on the bottom of the grip offers a secure grip when you need to choke down when things get steep. Speaking of steep, the Shark Frame Strap system remains, so attaching to the poles is as easy as ever, and less painful on uphill grinds. The Ultratrail FX.One might not be the only one, but they're good ones, and they could be the ones when you need one pair of fantastic running poles.

• The cork bottom's "nose" offers a secure lower grip.
• Shark Frame Strap system transfers power directly to the pole's center.
• 12% weight savings means you can go 12 times as fast and 12 times as far*.
• Foldable construction makes stowing poles quick and easy.
• Carbon fiber keeps weight at a minimum, but do you need Superlite?
