Description
LEKI Code: LESECL69 12 mm Lower Section 455 mm Length Nature Anodized SL2 + SAS (Anti-Shock) 14/12 mm Section Production Era: Approximately 2004–2012
This 12 mm lower section is the correct factory replacement for the LEKI Corklite, Softlite, and Albula Lite Antishock trekking poles in the SL2+SAS nature anodized configuration, built on the reduced-diameter 14/12 mm Lite geometry. The SL2+SAS configuration combines the Speed Lock 2 (SL2) external lever with an integrated anti-shock spring in the lower section assembly. At 12 mm diameter, this section is narrower than the standard 14 mm used in the mainstream trekking range, specific to the Lite and Ladies geometry. The nature anodized finish (colour code 036) and 455 mm printed length are the defining specifications for this section. From gentle valley walks through the Lake District to well-worn paths across the Brecon Beacons, the Corklite, Softlite, and Albula Lite Antishock delivered anti-shock cushioning in a lighter, slimmer package. When the lower section is worn, bent, or the anti-shock mechanism fails, only this specific SL2+SAS Lite section restores the original function. The 455 mm printed length and 12 mm diameter are specific to this family — verify both 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.
✓ Corklite Antishock — article codes 6362156
✓ Softlite Antishock — article codes 6322143, 6322134
✓ Additional confirmed compatible article codes (model names not established from available sources): 6322149, 6322150, 6362150, 6322155, 6362155
✓ 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 455 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: Open the Speed Lock 2 lever to release the existing section, then slide it out from the tip end. Insert the new SAS section and close the lever firmly to secure. The anti-shock spring function is integrated into this section.
✓ Lock engagement: If the lever does not close fully or the section moves under load, tighten the adjuster nut clockwise in quarter-turn increments. Test the anti-shock spring function by applying downward pressure after fitting.
✓ 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
✗ SL2+SAS poles with a lower section of a different diameter — the lever collar will not seat correctly on a different diameter section
✗ SL2+SAS poles with a lower section of a different printed length — SL2+SAS sections of other printed lengths are different spare parts and are not interchangeable
✗ SL2-only poles (no anti-shock) — this section includes the anti-shock mechanism and is specified for poles with integrated anti-shock only
✗ SL1 or SLS poles — different locking systems; this section is not compatible with Speed Lock 1 or Super Lock System poles
BEFORE YOU ORDER — FOUR-POINT CHECK
✓ Printed length: Must read 455 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 Speed Lock 2 + SAS — the lever opens outward and the section includes an integrated anti-shock spring. If your pole has SL1 levers or an SLS twist-lock, 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
