Light and agile on the go: The Cross Trail FX Superlite from Leki is a folding pole that truly shines during trail running. Weighing in at just 406 grams for the entire pair, thanks to the use of lightweight carbon, this pole is incredibly easy to carry. The folding mechanism also allows for an ultra-compact pack size of 42 cm in length. This means you can easily stow the poles on your backpack or running belt when not in use, without restricting your freedom of movement. Leki has also equipped the Cross Trail FX Superlite with its proven Speed Lock 2 plus adjustment system, allowing the pole length to be adjusted between 110 and 130 cm—quite exceptional for ultralight poles! The hand straps are designed for dynamic movement as well: they wrap around the wrist without pressure, provide ideal stability when gripping, and transfer power effectively during push-off. Carbide tips and minimal baskets ensure reliable support when ascending and descending, without the risk of getting caught in loose stones.

This pole swings easily when walking, is stable despite its low weight and is ergonomic to grip. The narrower side grip made of comfortable cork-look foam rubber is so good that it can be held securely even without the basket strap. If you use the loop anyway, it encloses the hand perfectly and always keeps it in the right place...
So if you are looking for a pole that you can use for your mountain tours as well as for your runs, a combi model is certainly more universal - ideally even with length adjustment. Although this is noticeable in terms of weight, it allows for a wider range of uses.
