Description
LEKI Code: LESECL19 12 mm Lower Section 305 mm Length Black SLS (Super Lock System) 16/14/12 mm Section Production Era: 2008–2010
The Super Micro is LEKI’s legendary ultra-compact travel and trekking pole, engineered from the late 2000s for walkers who refuse to leave poles at home when catching trains, flights, or squeezing kit into a rucksack destined for a West Highland Way through-route. At just 305 mm, this lower section is the defining component of the pole’s extraordinary packed length — the tip-end unit of the three-piece 16/14/12 mm SLS construction that allowed the Super Micro to collapse smaller than almost any aluminium telescopic pole on the market during its 2008–2010 production span. Accurate replacement demands checking both the printed length (305 mm) and diameter (12 mm) on your existing lower section before ordering. The SLS Super Lock System twist collar is unique to this generation and is incompatible with any Speed Lock lever system. The compact dimensions of this section make it critical to fit exactly the right replacement — 305 mm is an unusually short lower section and matching it precisely ensures the pole retains its signature packed length and correct telescopic range.

► Compatible Poles & Fitting Guide
LESECL19 is confirmed compatible with the following LEKI poles where identification has been established from official LEKI product records. Always verify against the 305 mm printed length and 12 mm diameter on your existing lower section — these measurements override model name matching.
✓ Super Micro — article codes 082080, 092080
✓ Additional confirmed compatible article codes (model names not established from available sources): 082396, 082397, 082398, 082399, 092396, 092397, 092398, 092399, 6352080
✓ Twist the SLS collar at the base of the middle section anti-clockwise to release the lower section. Insert the replacement 305 mm section from below until it seats fully at the internal stop. Twist the collar clockwise until hand-tight and firmly locked. Pull-test the joint before use to confirm secure locking and no slip or rotation.
✓ SLS lock verification: apply firm downward pressure on the tip of the fully assembled pole; the lower section must not slip, extend, or rotate. Any movement indicates incomplete locking or twist collar wear requiring immediate attention before use.
✓ SLS identification: the external twist collar is visible at the base of the middle section; no levers, buttons, or damping cartridges are present. The collar operates by mechanical friction with a smooth rotational action.
✓ Compact geometry check: with the 305 mm lower section replaced, verify the pole collapses to its designed packed length. If the packed length is longer than expected, the lower section may not be fully seated at the internal stop.
✓ Aluminium condition: inspect the lower section and collar for corrosion or pitting; sections from the 2008–2010 production era are now 15–17 years old and may show surface oxidation or collar thread wear despite regular use.
► Not Compatible With
✗ Speed Lock 1 (SL1) or Speed Lock 2 (SL2) external lever systems — completely different locking mechanism incompatible with the SLS twist collar design
✗ Speed Lock + (SL+) or Speed Lock 2+ (SL2+) external lever systems — lever-based geometry will not engage with the SLS twist collar and cannot secure this section safely
✗ Classic Lock twist collar — different thread pitch and collar geometry; may appear similar to SLS but will not lock correctly and is unsafe
✗ Poles whose existing lower section is not marked 305 mm — the printed length is the definitive check; 305 mm is unusually short and must match exactly
BEFORE YOU ORDER — FOUR-POINT CHECK
✓ Printed length: 305 mm — this is an unusually short lower section; confirm the measurement printed on your existing section matches exactly
✓ Diameter: 12 mm — verify the diameter marked on your existing lower section is 12 mm, not 11 mm or 14 mm
✓ Locking system: SLS Super Lock System — twist collar at the base of the middle section; no external lever present; purchased between approximately 2008 and 2010
✓ Construction: Three-section telescopic aluminium with 16/14/12 mm profile; confirm all three sections nest correctly and the pole collapses to its characteristic ultra-compact packed length
