LEKI Khumbu Lite, Makalu Lite, Legacy Lite & Albula Lite Replacement Lower Section

LEKI Code: LESECL96 12 mm Lower Section 455 mm Length Black Anodized Speed Lock 1 (SL1) 14/12 mm Section Production Era: 2003–2010

This 12 mm lower section is the standard replacement for a large family of LEKI Speed Lock 1 (SL1) Lite and Ladies trekking poles produced between 2003 and 2010, covering well-known models including the Khumbu Lite, Makalu Lite, Legacy Lite, Albula Lite, Albula Lite V, and Tremalzo. The 12 mm section diameter is smaller than the standard 14 mm used across LEKI’s mainstream trekking range, placing these poles in the reduced-diameter Lite and Ladies geometry built for lighter loads, smaller users, and lower-impact trekking. The SL1 external lever provides fast one-motion height adjustment from 100 to 135 cm, clamping directly against the outer wall of the 12 mm section. The black anodized finish (colour code 033) and the 455 mm printed length are both defining specifications for this version. From steady days across the Cairngorms plateau to well-worn paths through the Brecon Beacons, these poles were trusted companions in the lighter-weight hillwalking bracket for over a decade. When the lower section is bent, cracked, or worn beyond reliable service, this replacement restores the original 12 mm geometry and SL1 function precisely. The section cannot be substituted with a 14 mm version — the lever collar will not seat correctly on a different diameter. Verify both the printed length and the diameter on your existing section before ordering. Sold as a single section.
