Description

The LEKI DSS Tip 14mm is the genuine replacement tip for LEKI trekking poles equipped with the Dynamic Suspension System (DSS) and a 14mm lower shaft diameter. Sold as a matched pair, it restores full cushioning performance and maintains the shock absorption the DSS mechanism is built to deliver.

Featuring a hardened carbide insert for grip on rock and compacted ground, the DSS tip body is engineered to integrate correctly with the DSS spring mechanism. Diameter: 14mm. Colour: black-yelloworange. EAN: 4028173401451.

Fits current SS26 models including the Khumbu AS, Makalu FX Carbon AS, and Yurok AS. Check the compatibility section below before ordering — the 12mm variant is required for Legacy Lite AS, Makalu Lite AS, and Cressida AS.

Why it matters on the mountain
  • The DSS tip is not interchangeable with a standard carbide tip — fitting the wrong type disables the suspension mechanism even if the internal spring is intact
  • A worn DSS tip loses its rubber damping element, reducing shock absorption to zero regardless of the spring condition
  • Genuine LEKI tips maintain the correct shaft-to-tip tolerance — keeping the DSS firing correctly and preventing premature shaft wear
  • Sold as a pair to ensure matched performance across both poles
KEY FEATURES
  • Genuine LEKI replacement DSS tip for 14mm lower shaft diameter
  • Hardened carbide insert for grip and durability on rock and hard terrain
  • Maintains the full Dynamic Suspension System cushioning function
  • Colour: black-yelloworange — current SS26 LEKI colourway
  • Sold as a pair
HIGHLIGHTS
Suspension-integrated design
The DSS Tip is engineered to function within LEKI's anti-shock mechanism. The rubber element sits between the carbide insert and the pole shaft, absorbing downward force before it reaches your wrist. Replacing it with a standard tip bypasses this function entirely — the pole loses its anti-shock behaviour even with the internal spring still present.
Carbide durability
The hardened carbide insert delivers long-lasting grip on rock, stone, and compacted ground. It maintains a consistent tip profile under sustained use on technical terrain, where a worn rubber-only tip would slip and wear rapidly.
Genuine LEKI fitment
Genuine LEKI tips preserve the exact tolerance between the tip body and the 14mm shaft. This ensures the DSS mechanism engages correctly and prevents the shaft wear that can result from a loose-fitting or incorrectly sized alternative tip.
