Description
LEKI Code: LESECL98 16 mm Lower Section 583 mm Length Brown Speed Lock 1 (SL1) 18/16 mm Section Production Era: 2003–2010
The LEKI City Sen Vario is a dedicated urban Nordic walking pole built for sustained everyday use, and this 16 mm lower section is the correct factory replacement when the original is bent, cracked, or worn beyond reliable service. Produced during the 2003–2010 era, the City Sen Vario was engineered on a larger-diameter 16 mm section geometry — significantly stiffer than the standard 14 mm used across LEKI’s mainstream trekking range — to withstand the repetitive loading of pavement and urban terrain. The Speed Lock 1 (SL1) external lever system provides tool-free height adjustment between 65 and 95 cm, clamping directly against the outer wall of the 16 mm section. The distinctive brown finish (colour code 009) and the 583 mm printed length are both defining specifications for this version; neither can be substituted. Whether the original section was damaged on a morning walk through the Pennines or worn down after years of daily use, this replacement restores the original geometry precisely. The SL1 lever collar is sized specifically for 16 mm — fitting a section of any other diameter will prevent the lever from locking securely. Measure both the diameter with calipers and check the printed length marking on your existing lower section before ordering. Sold as a single section.

► Compatible Poles & Fitting Guide
This lower section is confirmed compatible with the following LEKI City Sen Vario pole. Always verify the printed length and diameter on your existing lower section before ordering.
✓ City Sen Vario — article code 6402279
✓ Diameter check: This is a 16 mm section — larger than the standard 14 mm. Measure the diameter of your existing lower section with calipers before ordering. A 14 mm or 12 mm pole requires a different section.
✓ Length verification: The 583 mm printed length is specific to this pole geometry — measure the printed marking on your existing section, not the physical length with calipers. A section showing any other printed length requires a different spare part.
✓ Fitting: Slide the new lower section into the middle section from the tip end. Close the Speed Lock 1 lever firmly to secure. The lever should close flush with the collar — if it does not close fully or the section moves under load, the lever tension may need adjusting.
✓ Lever tension adjustment: If the section moves under normal lever clamping force, tighten the adjuster nut on the clamp collar clockwise in quarter-turn increments until the lever locks securely. Do not overtighten.
✓ Not sure? Email photos of the full pole, the damaged section, and any visible article codes to [email protected] so the correct replacement can be confirmed before ordering.
► Not Compatible With
✗ SL1 poles with 14 mm or 12 mm lower sections — this section is 16 mm; poles built on smaller-diameter sections use lever collars sized for that diameter and will not accommodate a 16 mm section
✗ SL1 poles with a different printed length — must match 583 mm printed length exactly; sections of a different length will not allow correct pole assembly
✗ Speed Lock 2 (SL2) poles — later external lever generation with revised interfaces; SL1 sections are not interchangeable with SL2 lever collars
✗ SLS (Super Lock System) poles — internal twist-lock mechanism; entirely different locking interface from the SL1 external lever system
BEFORE YOU ORDER — FOUR-POINT CHECK
✓ Printed length: Must read 583 mm on your existing lower section — check the printed marking, not a physical measurement
✓ Diameter: Confirm 16 mm lower section diameter — measure with calipers at the widest point of the section. This is a larger-diameter 16 mm section; do not order for a standard 14 mm or 12 mm pole
✓ Locking system: Confirm Speed Lock 1 (SL1) — the lever opens outward from a hinged collar. If your pole has an SLS internal twist-lock collar or an SL2 lever, this section is not suitable
✓ Construction: 3-section telescopic (Vario) with 18/16 mm section profile — verify the profile matches before ordering
✓ Unsure? Email photos of the full pole, the damaged section, and any visible article codes to [email protected] for confirmation before ordering
