FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions about Leki
Leki Ski Poles – What is the right length?
For classic piste skiers, the rule of thumb is:
Body height x 0.7 = approximate pole length
Alternatively, the pole can be inverted. If the arm is at an angle of approximately 90 degrees, the length is usually appropriate.
Different recommendations sometimes apply to racers. This method is also used in slalom, but poles should be longer for giant slalom and speed disciplines.
What ski pole length is needed for slalom?
For slalom, slightly shorter poles are usually used. This makes quick movements and an aggressive style of skiing between the gates easier.
The exact length depends on body height, skiing style, and personal preference.
What ski pole length is needed for giant slalom or Super-G?
As speed increases, slightly longer and sometimes curved racing poles are often used.
These support an aerodynamic posture and provide more stability at high speeds.
What makes the Leki Trigger System special?
The Trigger system directly connects glove and pole.
This results in:
- better control
- faster reaction
- increased safety
- more direct power transfer
Sporty skiers and racers, in particular, highly value these advantages.

WCR stands for "World Cup Racing".
Products with this designation were developed specifically for the demands of alpine racing and are tailored to the needs of World Cup athletes.

- optimal fit
