LEKI SLS Transparent Powder Replacement Lower Section
Product code LESECL55 - Transparent Powder

Description
LEKI Code: LESECL55 14 mm Lower Section 490 mm Length Transparent Powder SLS (Super Lock System) 16/14 mm Section Production Era: Approximately 2013
This 14 mm lower section is the correct factory replacement for LEKI SLS trekking poles produced from approximately 2013 with a transparent powder finish and a 490 mm printed length. The SLS (Super Lock System) internal twist-lock mechanism requires no external lever: the lower section is rotated anti-clockwise to release, the height adjusted, and then rotated clockwise to lock. At 490 mm, this is one of the most common printed lengths in the standard-diameter SLS trekking range — making precise specification verification especially important before ordering. The transparent powder finish (colour code 000) is the critical visual identifier that distinguishes this section from other 490 mm SLS lower sections with different colour codes. A reliable replacement for regular walkers and trekkers on routes from the Lake District fells to the long ridges of the Brecon Beacons, this section restores the original geometry and twist-lock function precisely. When the lower section is bent, cracked, or the SLS mechanism no longer holds under load, the 490 mm transparent powder specification ensures an exact match for the poles it was designed for. Verify the printed marking on your existing lower section before ordering. Sold as a single section.

► Compatible Poles & Fitting Guide
Compatible pole model names have not been established from available sources for this section. Verify the printed length, diameter, and finish on your existing lower section before ordering. If unsure, email [email protected] with photos for confirmation.
✓ Article code check: If the article code on your pole or documentation ends with 14 0490 00, this section is the likely correct replacement — the transparent powder finish (code 00) is a key identifier. Verify by emailing photos to [email protected] before ordering.
✓ Diameter check: This is a 14 mm section in a 16/14 mm profile. 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 490 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 490 mm lower sections with a different finish or colour code — the transparent powder finish (000) is a required specification; a section with a different colour code is a different spare part
✗ 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 490 mm on your existing lower section — check the printed marking, not a physical measurement
✓ Diameter: Confirm 14 mm lower section diameter — measure with calipers. This is a 16/14 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 16/14 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
