Description

LEKI Code: LESECL68 12 mm Lower Section 455 mm Length Nature Anodized Speed Lock 2 (SL2) 14/12 mm Section Production Era: Approximately 2004–2014
This 12 mm lower section is the correct factory replacement for the LEKI Corklite, Softlite, and Journey trekking poles in the SL2 nature anodized configuration, built on the reduced-diameter 14/12 mm Lite geometry. The Speed Lock 2 (SL2) external lever provides fast one-motion height adjustment, clamping directly against the outer wall of the 12 mm section. The 12 mm diameter places these poles in the slimmer Lite and Ladies geometry designed for lighter use. The nature anodized finish (colour code 036) and 455 mm printed length are the defining specifications shared across this family. From the coastal paths of the Jurassic Coast to well-worn tracks through the New Forest, the Corklite, Softlite, and Journey were among the most widely used Lite-geometry SL2 poles in LEKI’s catalogue. When the lower section is bent, cracked, or worn beyond reliable service, this replacement restores the original geometry and SL2 function precisely. The 455 mm printed length and 12 mm diameter are specific to this Lite 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 — article codes 6322153, 6362153
Softlite — article codes 6322188, 6362184
Journey — article codes 6402183, 6492184
Additional confirmed compatible article codes (model names not established from available sources): 6342425, 6342423, 6322135, 6322434, 6322335, 6322843, 6322845, 6322846, 6322769, 6492419, 6312767, 6372420, 6322402, 6362852, 65127671, 65121842, 65121882, 65121881, 65121841
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 section and close the Speed Lock 2 lever firmly to secure. The lever should close flush with the collar.
Lock engagement: If the lever does not close fully or the section moves under load, 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
SL2 poles with a lower section of a different diameter — the lever collar will not seat correctly on a different diameter and the pole will not lock securely
SL2 poles with a lower section of a different printed length — SL2 lower sections of other printed lengths are different spare parts and are not interchangeable
Speed Lock 1 (SL1) poles — earlier external lever generation; SL2 sections are not interchangeable with SL1 lever collars
SLS (Super Lock System) poles — internal twist-lock mechanism; entirely different locking interface from the SL2 external lever system
 
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 (SL2) — the lever opens outward from a hinged collar. If your pole has an SL1 lever or an SLS internal twist-lock collar, 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
