This genuine LEKI Lower Section spare fits the Skytera FX Carbon SL — LEKI's Performance Series trekking pole built for lightweight hikers who want the smallest possible pack size with Vario adjustment. The 12 mm Carbon (HRC) section is supplied at 315 mm to match the pole sizes listed below — fit the correct length and the pole performs exactly as it left the factory. The Skytera FX Carbon SL adjusts its overall length through the Speed Lock system on the upper shaft, but each folding section is a fixed factory length — so the replacement must match this section's dimensions exactly. Whether you are on the Lakeland fells, Snowdonia or a Highland multi-day, a fresh section beats replacing the whole pole.

✓ This part fits: Skytera FX Carbon SL (110–130 cm Vario) — not the Compact, and not the Skytera FX.One SL

Which section is the Lower?
The lower section is the tip end of the pole — it carries the tip and takes the most ground contact, which is why it is usually the first section to wear or take damage.
How the folding system works
The pole folds via LEKI's Core Locking Device (CLD) — an internal lock in the folding joints — while overall length adjusts separately through the Speed Lock lever on the upper section.
How to fit
1. Unfold the pole and locate the joint between the lower section and the section above it.
2. Release the folding lock at that joint and separate the sections.
3. Thread the internal cord through the replacement lower section, reconnect, and lock the joint back into position.
If the internal cord is damaged, the pole needs a workshop repair — a section swap alone will not fix it.
Black endcap? Do not order — black endcap poles are not user-fittable.
