K Leki Vertical Poles
Vertical K Leki Poles
Trail-Running Series
The Vertical K are the ultimate running poles for vertical miles.
They have the best carbon composition found at Leki (Carbon HRC max).
The new Trail Shark handle system is 30% lighter than the previous version thanks to ventilation channels.
The direct attachment to the pole using the Shark gauntlet allows for much greater and more efficient power transmission than with conventional wrist straps.
Simply push without having to hold on to the handle.

Technologies:
• Construction en carbone
Carbon fibers are the result of the carbonization of synthetic polymer fibers or organic substances.
The result is a composite of fibers significantly finer than a human hair.
Carbon fiber tubes feature extremely high stiffness and bending strength at very low weight.
Carbon fibers are woven and bonded with resin components.
Leki's carbon tubes are manufactured using pre-impregnation technology. This technology consists of cutting impregnated fabrics before superimposing them in layers
specially structured. After curing in the oven, during which the resin components react with each other and the carbon fibers bond to form a strong matrix,
the cores are removed.
The layered structure of the different carbon fabrics is decisive for the rigidity of the carbon tube.
The quality of the raw material is also decisive for the quality of the tube.
Leki works with different types of carbon. HM Carbon features maximum carbon fiber content, while fiberglass content is used for entry-level poles.
These tubes containing fiberglass are so-called carbon composite tubes.
There are different constructions which differ in the proportion of glass fibers.
HRC (HIGHEST RACING CARBON)
- Weight per meter: from 55 g/m
- Used in high-end pole models
PRC (PERFORMANCE RACING CARBON)
- Weight per meter: from 70 g/m
- Different versions are available
CC (CARBON COMPOSITE)
- Weight per meter: from 91 g/m
- Used in entry-level models
The benefits of carbon:
- Very light material
- Maximum rigidity for minimum weight
- Greater rigidity than aluminum for a tube of the same diameter
- Optimal pendulum movement during dynamic movements
- Numerous construction possibilities with different fiber and laminated structure technologies
• Bâtons à longueur fixe
- Optimal length to minimize weight
- Better power transmission
• Trail Shark Next Generation Handle System
The Trail Shark Leki is the first loop handle system developed specifically for trail running.
Thanks to the new ventilation channels, the weight of the handle has been reduced by 30% compared to the regular Shark system.
Uphill or downhill, the Trail Shark system is the most efficient way to handle your poles. It extends the body and provides highly efficient power transmission from hand to stick.
Thanks to the slim shape of the shark pin, the strap can be clicked on with your eyes closed.
The unlock button is easier to use than ever!
An additional lug on the handle provides a second grip and ensures precise control.
- Developed specifically for trail running
- Simplified operation for quick and easy clicking/unclicking during competition
- Very light handle: thanks to the ventilation channels, 30% gain compared to the previous Shark system
- Optimized handling
- No need to actively hold the handle all the time
- Maximum comfort, maximum power transfer
