Description
LEKI Code: LESECL61 12 mm Lower Section 309 mm Length Carbon Black SLS (Super Lock System) 14/12 mm Section Production Era: Approximately 2003–2010
This 12 mm lower section is the correct factory replacement for the LEKI Compact trekking pole, built on the reduced-diameter 14/12 mm Lite geometry with carbon construction. The Compact used the SLS (Super Lock System) internal twist-lock mechanism — rotate anti-clockwise to release, set height, rotate clockwise to lock — with no external lever required. At 309 mm, this is a very short printed length, reflecting the Compact’s compact-geometry design. The carbon construction and carbon black matt finish (colour code 098) are the defining material specifications for this section. Designed for users who prioritised a compact collapsed length alongside carbon-fibre construction, the Compact offered a distinctive combination of portability and performance. When the lower section is damaged or the SLS mechanism no longer holds, this replacement restores the original geometry and locking function precisely. The 309 mm printed length is unique to the Compact — 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.
✓ Compact — article codes 6332073
✓ 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 309 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 309 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
