This genuine LEKI Lower Section spare fits the Makalu Pro FX Carbon — LEKI's Performance Series trekking pole built for trekkers who want the top-spec Makalu carbon platform with a cork grip. The 14 mm Carbon (PRC 1000) section is supplied at 200 mm to match the pole sizes listed below — fit the correct length and the pole performs exactly as it left the factory. The Makalu Pro FX Carbon 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.

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 External Locking Device (ELD) — the button at the top of the folding joints — while overall length adjusts separately through the Speed Lock lever on the upper section. The folding sections themselves are a fixed length per model.
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.
▸ Not Compatible With
✗ The MS1, MS2 and MS3 sections of this pole — separate, non-interchangeable parts
✗ Any telescopic (Vario non-folding) pole — different section architecture, not FX-compatible
