The Makalu FX Carbon is built for serious mountain days. Featuring hollow-core carbon construction, it blends featherweight handling with a broad, ergonomic grip surface designed to sit naturally in your hand. The Aergon Air grip is shaped for comfort and control, with a fully rubberized grip head that delivers reliable contact on steep descents. On climbs, the grip extension provides an extra hand position for efficient progress.
The secure fit is enhanced by a Skin Strap 5.0 loop strap, letting you tailor the hold so you’re never fighting the pole when you need a stable stance.
Fast, reliable adjustments are a hallmark of Makalu FX Carbon. The folding pole uses the ELD external locking system for quick opening and closing with the push of a button, plus the Speed Lock 2 Plus external clamp offers strong hold and easy micro-adjustments on the move.
Terrain-ready details include a Trekking 2.0 basket to prevent sinking on soft ground and a Flex Tip for precise pole positioning across varied surfaces. The pole ships with a compact Folding Pole Bag for ultra-light transport.
Two length configurations give you a tailored fit for your height and hiking style:
Other technical details include pipe geometry No bend, pipe material Carbon (PRC 1000), external locking (ELD), and the PAS/loop-based grip system with Aergon Air. The trekking basket is Trekking 2.0, the tip is Flex Tip, and the poles come with a Folding Pole Bag for storage. Designed for adults and unisex use.
Includes a pair of Makalu FX Carbon folding poles and the folding pole storage bag.
