Description
LEKI Code: LESECL04 12 mm Lower Section 440 mm Length Nature / Silver Anodized SLS (Super Lock System) 14/12 mm Section Production Era: 2003–2009
This 12 mm lower section is the correct factory replacement for a wide family of LEKI SLS trekking poles produced between 2003 and 2009, covering the Classic, Ergometric, Ergometric Long, Traveller, Traveller Carbon, and Traveller Alu models. The SLS internal twist-lock mechanism was LEKI’s primary height-adjustment system across this era — the lower section is rotated to unlock, the height adjusted, and then rotated back to lock with no external lever or tool required. The 12 mm section diameter is narrower than the standard 14 mm used across LEKI’s contemporary mainstream range, placing these poles in the slimmer 14/12 mm profile geometry. The nature / silver anodized finish (colour code 036) and the 440 mm printed length are the two defining specifications for this section. From long ridge days above the Lake District fells to well-worn paths across the Cairngorms, these poles were a dependable fixture across LEKI’s trekking range for nearly a decade. When the lower section is bent, cracked, or the twist-lock no longer holds under load, this replacement restores the original geometry and SLS function precisely. The 440 mm printed length is specific to this family — it is not interchangeable with SLS sections of a different length. Verify both the diameter and the printed length 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 SLS trekking poles. Always verify the printed length and diameter on your existing lower section before ordering.
✓ Classic — article codes 062133, 072133

✓ Ergometric Long — article codes 062172, 072172

✓ Additional confirmed compatible article codes (model names not established from available sources): 032172, 042172, 052172, 032171, 042136, 052136, 042435, 052435, 052257, 042147, 042443, 052141, 042401, 052401, 052236, 062236, 052235, 062235, 062372, 062262, 6352601, 6352321
✓ Diameter check: This is a 12 mm section. Measure the diameter of your existing lower section with calipers — if it measures 14 mm, this section is not suitable. Only 12 mm SLS sections are compatible with this 14/12 mm profile.
✓ Length verification: The 440 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 old 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 firmly. Test by applying downward load before use.
✓ Lock engagement: The SLS mechanism should engage with a firm resistance when rotated. If the section rotates freely without resistance or fails to hold under load, the internal locking collar may be worn and require assessment.
✓ 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 14 mm lower sections — this is a 12 mm section; fitting it to a pole designed for a 14 mm lower section will result in an insecure connection and the SLS collar will not engage correctly
✗ SLS poles with a lower section of a different printed length — this section is 440 mm; SLS lower sections of other printed lengths (e.g. 500 mm) 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 SLS internal twist-lock
BEFORE YOU ORDER — FOUR-POINT CHECK
✓ Printed length: Must read 440 mm on your existing lower section — check the printed marking, not a physical measurement
✓ Diameter: Confirm 12 mm lower section diameter — measure with calipers at the widest point. This is a 14/12 mm profile section; do not order for a standard 14 mm pole
✓ 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
