LEKI Carbonlite Replacement Lower Section
Product code LESECL92 - Carbon

Description
LEKI Code: LESECL92 12 mm Lower Section 454 mm Length Black Matt Varnish SLS (Super Lock System) 14/12 mm Section Production Era: Approximately 2006–2012
This 12 mm lower section is the correct factory replacement for the LEKI Carbonlite trekking pole, built on the reduced-diameter 14/12 mm Lite geometry. The Carbonlite used the SLS (Super Lock System) internal twist-lock for height adjustment — rotate anti-clockwise to release, set height, rotate clockwise to lock — with no external lever required. The carbon construction delivers a significant weight saving over aluminium equivalents, making this section specific to the Carbonlite’s lightweight specification. The black matt varnish finish (colour code 087) and 454 mm printed length are the defining specifications for this replacement. From technical ridge routes above Glen Coe to long-distance routes through the Brecon Beacons, the Carbonlite offered carbon-fibre performance within a familiar LEKI SLS package. When the lower section is damaged or the SLS mechanism no longer holds, this replacement restores the original carbon geometry and locking function precisely. The 454 mm printed length is specific to the Carbonlite configuration — verify the printed marking on your existing section before ordering. Sold as a single section.

► Compatible Poles & Fitting Guide
This lower section is confirmed compatible with the following LEKI poles. Always verify the printed length and diameter on your existing lower section before ordering.
✓ Carbonlite — article codes 6402129
✓ Diameter check: This is a 12 mm section. Measure the diameter of your existing lower section with calipers before ordering. A section measuring a different diameter requires a different spare part.
✓ Length verification: The 454 mm printed length is the defining specification — measure the printed marking on your existing lower section, not the physical length. A section showing any other printed length requires a different spare part.
✓ Fitting: Rotate the existing lower section anti-clockwise to disengage the SLS lock, then slide it out from the tip end. Insert the new section and rotate clockwise until the lock engages with firm resistance. Test by applying downward load before use.
✓ Lock engagement: The SLS mechanism should engage with a firm, positive resistance when rotated clockwise. If the section rotates freely or fails to hold under load, the internal SLS collar may require assessment or replacement.
✓ 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
✗ SLS poles with a lower section of a different diameter — sections of a different diameter will not seat correctly in the SLS collar and the pole will not lock securely
✗ SLS poles with a lower section of a different printed length — SLS lower sections of other printed lengths are different spare parts and are not interchangeable
✗ Speed Lock 1 (SL1) poles — external lever clamping system; SLS twist-lock sections are not interchangeable with SL1 lever collars
✗ Speed Lock 2 (SL2) poles — external lever clamping system; entirely different interface from the SLS internal twist-lock mechanism
BEFORE YOU ORDER — FOUR-POINT CHECK
✓ Printed length: Must read 454 mm on your existing lower section — check the printed marking, not a physical measurement
✓ Diameter: Confirm 12 mm lower section diameter — measure with calipers. This is a 14/12 mm profile section
✓ Locking system: Confirm SLS (Super Lock System) — the section rotates to lock and unlock with no external lever. If your pole has a Speed Lock lever (SL1 or SL2), this section is not suitable
✓ Construction: 3-section telescopic (Vario) with 14/12 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
