Leki MCT 12 Vario

These poles are specifically optimized for trail running and fast-paced hiking. Their ultra-lightweight carbon construction and specialized trail running baskets make them ideal for high-intensity movement where every gram counts.

Thanks to the four-section folding design, the MCT 12 Vario collapses down to just 42 centimeters. This compact size makes them easy to stow inside or attach to the outside of most hydration vests and daypacks.

Yes, the SpeedLock 2 external adjustment system is designed for quick, reliable length changes while you are wearing gloves or moving on the trail. It allows you to adjust the pole length up to 120 cm to match the terrain.

The Cross Shark grip is designed to combine the speed and power transfer of a trail running grip with the ergonomic support of a traditional hiking pole handle. It provides a secure, comfortable connection that helps you maintain efficiency during long efforts.

The high-modulus carbon fiber used here is engineered for a balance of extreme rigidity and low weight. While it is highly durable for standard trail use, it is designed for performance; avoid jamming the tips into deep rock crevices or using them for heavy-duty load-bearing, as carbon is less forgiving than aluminum under extreme lateral stress.
