The LEKI Evotrail FX.One TA is a four-section folding trail running pole built around genuine practicality: a compact 38 cm pack size, a Trigger Shark click-in strap system, and a simple Push-Button folding mechanism that works without removing your hands from the grip. For trail runners and fast hikers who want a pole that collapses quickly and sits cleanly in a vest or pack, the Evotrail FX.One TA is the entry point into the LEKI FX folding range.
Sections are Aluminium (HTS 6.5) throughout, giving the Evotrail FX.One TA strong, dependable durability for a pole at this level. The pole is available in five fixed lengths from 110 to 130 cm in 5 cm steps, so selecting the correct size at purchase is important. At 215 g (measured at 120 cm), it is a practical weight for a trail running pole at this construction level.
The Trigger Shark 2.0 grip is a cork grip with an integrated Trigger Shark interface. The Trigger Shark system allows the Shark Frame Strap Mesh to click in and out of the grip at the push of a button, freeing the hand without removing the strap from the wrist. This is the same strap-release mechanism used across the broader LEKI Shark trail running family. Strap sizing is split between two models: S-M-L for 110–115 cm poles, and M-L-XL for 120–130 cm poles.
The Evotrail FX.One TA is finished with a Flex Tip Short (Carbide) and supplied with a Nordic basket. A rubber pad is included for road and hard surface use.
What’s new for SS26: Updated Black graphics in Black / Dark Anthracite / Neon Yellow. Construction and specification are unchanged from the SS25 Evotrail FX.One TA (LE65225751).

S+W Verdict:
"Top of the range running/walking poles from Leki. Ultra-light weight and super stiff, perfect for hike and fly. The trail shark is no gimmick, makes going uphill so efficient as you don't actually have to grip the pole! No wonder so many x-alps pilots use these..."
