Leki CB Alpine Tip for LEKI Fix
Product code LE858220103 - Black
£11.00
Description
The LEKI CB Alpine Tip is a replacement carbide tip for LEKI alpine ski poles fitted with the LEKI Fix basket retention system. The tip inserts into the lower section of the pole; the LEKI Fix basket stopper then clips over it to lock the basket in place.
The tip features a hard metal (HM) carbide insert at the point — the same material used in LEKI's race and recreational alpine line. Total weight is 12.2g per pair. Colour: black.
Sold as a pair. Compatible with LEKI alpine ski poles that use the LEKI Fix basket attachment system. Not compatible with trekking, Nordic walking, or trail running poles, or with LEKI Smart Tip poles.
Why it matters on the mountain
- A damaged or worn tip affects pole plant precision on hard pack and ice — replacing it restores confident, controlled contact with the slope.
- The hard metal carbide insert resists wear significantly better than standard steel, extending tip life across a full ski season of race training or recreational use.
- The LEKI Fix interface means the replacement locks securely — no movement under load, consistent basket retention.
- Paired replacement keeps both poles identical in tip profile and basket height — important for race athletes and recreational skiers who rely on consistent pole length.

HIGHLIGHTS
Carbide construction ▼
The CB in the product name stands for carbide — specifically a hard metal (HM) insert at the tip point. Carbide is substantially harder and more abrasion-resistant than standard steel, meaning the tip point holds its sharpness through repeated impact with snow, ice, and compressed piste surface. LEKI uses carbide across its race and performance alpine range for exactly this reason.
LEKI Fix system ▼
LEKI Fix is LEKI's basket retention system for alpine ski poles. The CB Alpine Tip seats into the lower section of the pole shaft. The LEKI Fix basket stopper (sold separately in 10mm, 10.5mm, and 11mm variants) then clips over the tip to retain the basket securely. If you are unsure which Fix diameter your poles use, check the pole model or contact our service team.
Replacing alpine tips ▼
Alpine tips take significant impact during skiing — particularly on hard piste and in race training. Signs that a tip needs replacing include a rounded or chipped carbide point, a loose fit in the lower section, or a basket that no longer locks cleanly via the Fix stopper. This product is sold as a pair so both poles are serviced at the same time. If you are unsure whether replacement is needed, contact our service team with photos.
