Leki Khumbu Lite Antishock Trekking Pole

The LEKI Khumbu Lite AS takes the lightweight Khumbu Lite platform and adds the Dynamic Suspension System (DSS) antishock — making it the choice for walkers who want the same slim, light build but with active joint protection built in. It is particularly well suited to long days on rough or steep terrain where cumulative impact on the knees and wrists begins to tell.

At 250 g per pole, the Khumbu Lite AS is only marginally heavier than the non-antishock Khumbu Lite (245 g), with the DSS system integrated internally above the tip rather than adding bulk or changing the overall pole geometry. The DSS absorbs and dissipates impact on the downward plant, reducing the load transmitted through the wrist and arm on repeated descents. When not needed, the antishock can be locked out to give a firm, direct pole feel on ascents or flatter terrain.

The pole is built on the slimmer 16|14|12 mm section architecture of the Lite family, using Aluminium (HTS 6.5) throughout all three sections. The Aergon grip in 2K CorTec, Compact size, is the same as the standard Khumbu Lite — warm, moisture-managing, and well suited to smaller hands. Speed Lock plus covers the full 100–135 cm length range with fast, glove-friendly adjustment.
