WV#39 : UNBOXING Leki FX.One SUPERLITE Ultra Trail Poles PLUS Bonus

[@collinrymer424]

Apparently it’s pretty easy to swap out the middle and lower segments if they break (carbon poles are far from invincible, especially the Superlite version, which comes with its own disclaimer)-so there’s no need to replace the poles entirely. That’s what the X in FX stands for: exchangeable.

[@psillyrunner8650]

Good to know! I tripped and nearly bent one of these in half catching the fall and it didn’t break so I’m pretty impressed. I only weigh 135-140lbs, but you should’ve seen this thing bend!

[@ebuckley7152]

Complete novice here, very helpful video. Could do with how to collapse them again 😂

[@psillyrunner8650]

Any Leki videos get good views so I should do a whole video on how to collapse 😂😂

[@radulaski]

On Leki''s page they claim these should be used for races only as they are not as durable as regular model.

[@psillyrunner8650]

Yeah that’s probably solid advice. Haven’t broken mine yet and I use them regularly.

[@7Sergius]

Hi. They look like universal ones. Are they good for Nordic walking?

[@psillyrunner8650]

Maybe too good! These are more aimed towards the needs of an ultra runner being so light weight. Leki definitely offers more reasonably priced options for walking/trekking

[@vitalogy297]

Can you adapt the poles? Never used ones before, Leki is telling I should buy 1.20Cms - I’m 5’5 - I feel they may be big…. can I make them shorter or longer? Nice vid!

[@psillyrunner8650]

These are fixed length poles so they are not able to be adjusted. If you’re unsure of what length you want I’d say go find a store with any kind of poles and see what feels good for. I like a longer pole for my height, but that’s just me.
