What Is Cross Trail?
Cross Trail is a high-intensity outdoor activity that combines the physical benefits of hiking with the time efficiency of training. Unlike traditional mountain sports, which often require extended planning and long travel, Cross Trail fits into everyday life — offering a powerful way to stay fit, reset mentally, and enjoy nature in shorter, more intense mountain sessions.
Whether it's before or after work, or a spontaneous weekend outing, Cross Trail makes it possible to train locally, explore natural trails, and challenge your body — without needing multi-day tours or technical alpine gear. It’s an accessible sport for anyone who enjoys moving fast in the outdoors and values both performance and headspace.
Why Use Poles for Cross Trail?
LEKI Cross Trail poles are ultra-light, compact, and purpose-built for efficient movement on steep or uneven terrain. Poles help reduce muscle fatigue, distribute effort more evenly between the upper and lower body, and improve balance and speed — especially on descents.
By offloading strain from joints and engaging more muscle groups, poles improve endurance, support posture, and increase propulsion. They’re essential equipment for high-output mountain movement — helping you go faster, for longer, with greater stability and less impact.
The Cross Shark Grip
The LEKI Cross Shark grip system blends the speed and minimalism of a trail running grip with the ergonomic support of a trekking handle. It enables fast transitions while offering secure power transfer and a breathable, lightweight connection — ideal for dynamic mountain hiking and fast hiking efforts.
How to Choose the Right Pole Length
The correct length is typically when your elbow forms a 90° angle while holding the pole vertically with the tip on the ground. For more accuracy, use the LEKI pole length advisor.
