LEKI Code: LESECL11714 mm Section860 mm LengthBlack AnodizedSpeed Lock +2-Section DesignAluminium
The lower section is the tip-end section of a telescopic trekking pole — the section most exposed to ground contact, rock strike, and abrasion, and the one most commonly damaged through use. At 860 mm and 14 mm diameter in black anodized aluminium, LESECL117 is the genuine LEKI replacement lower section for 2-section Speed Lock + poles with a 16/14 mm shaft profile. This section is specific to the Helicon Lite — a lightweight 2-section telescopic trekking pole produced in the Speed Lock + generation. The 860 mm printed length and 14 mm diameter are the definitive identifiers for this section; manufactured to the original aluminium specification, it restores the correct diameter, length, and lever-clamp interface without requiring a full pole replacement.

► Compatibility & Fitting Guide
LESECL117 fits LEKI 2-section Speed Lock + poles with a 16/14 mm shaft profile. The 860 mm printed length and 14 mm diameter are the definitive identifiers — check the printed measurement on your existing lower section before ordering. Confirmed compatible poles are listed below by model name with associated LEKI article codes.
✓ Helicon Lite (16/14 mm) — 65227431
✓ To fit: open the Speed Lock + lever fully at the base of the upper section. Slide the existing lower section downward and withdraw. Insert LESECL117 from below until the internal stop is reached. Close the lever firmly. Adjust to required length and confirm the clamp holds under pull-test.
✓ If the lever does not clamp securely after fitting, the Speed Lock + lever tension can be adjusted via the small screw on the lever body — turn clockwise to increase clamping force.
► Not Compatible With
✗ Classic Lock (CLA) poles — these use an internal twist-lock mechanism with different tube dimensions and are not compatible with Speed Lock + lever hardware
✗ Speed Lock 2 (SL2) poles — the SL2 lever housing has different clamping geometry and is not interchangeable with Speed Lock +; see LESECL118 or other SL2 sections for Speed Lock 2 poles
✗ SLS (Super Lock System) poles — internal twist mechanism, dimensionally incompatible with Speed Lock + lever hardware
✗ Speed Lock + poles requiring a different lower section length — if the printed measurement on your existing lower section is not 860 mm, a different LEKI code is required; do not fit a section of the wrong length
BEFORE YOU ORDER — QUICK CHECK
✓ Section length: the printed measurement on your existing lower section must read 860 mm — this is the primary specification and overrides all other checks
✓ Diameter: confirm the lower (tip) end of your section measures 14 mm
✓ Locking system: your poles must use Speed Lock + — there should be an external lever clamp at the base of the upper section; if the lower section rotates directly to lock with no external lever, the pole uses a twist-lock system and this section will not fit
✓ Sections: confirm your pole is a 2-section design with a 16/14 mm shaft profile; the lower section should be the longer of the two tubes
