Runners are notoriously prone to overuse injuries, always relying on the same muscles to locomote. What if it were possible to instantly engage more muscle groups, increase balance, and decrease fatigue? Leki has pursued this very thought experiment with the Ultratrail FX.One. Shark Frame straps wrap your hands securely, increasing the accuracy and power of your pole plants while eliminating "remember to hold onto poles" from your race day checklist. Three full-carbon sections fold down to a handy length of around 40 centimeters (depending on length) at the push of a button, making them the perfect accessory for your carry-on bag (disclaimer: airport security may not endorse this packing method). An extended cork grip makes choking up easy the next time you find yourself staring up the mean side of your local testpiece, while trail running baskets and carbide tips won't drag you down along the way. Blending intuitiveness, practicality, and durability, the Leki Ultratrail FX.One is a helpful companion for your favorite skyrunning endeavors.

• Rugged 16mm diameter tapers to 14mm, preparing these poles to stand up to everything from long training miles to charging moose.
• Shark Frame hand straps provide an ergonomic attachment system, making the Ultralight FX.One feel like an integrated extension of the human mind (or at least your hand).
• Foldable construction, reminiscent of tent poles, packs down easily.
• Cork extended grips are comfortable on a variety of terrain types.
• Push-button trigger makes folding nearly instantaneous.
