Leki Venom SL TR

The Leki Venom SL TR is a racing pole developed for slalom and alpine competitive skiing. The model combines a durable hybrid construction with a low swing weight and Leki's Trigger 3D system. The focus is on rapid response and precise handling through the slalom course.

The pole's upper shaft consists of HTS 6.5 aluminum. This durable material is chosen to withstand hard impacts from gates during slalom skiing. Meanwhile, the lower section consists of PRC 1000 aramid-reinforced carbon fiber.

The combination of aluminum and carbon fiber provides both high durability and a low swing weight. This gives the pole a fast pendulum effect, making it agile to work with between the gates. The design also contributes to precise steering when the pace is high.

The Venom SL TR features Leki's Trigger 3D system. It makes clicking the strap in and out quick and easy. Furthermore, the system provides a direct power transfer between the hand and the pole.

Trigger 3D has a wider release angle than the previous Trigger S system. This means the system can release in more directions in the event of a fall, contributing to increased safety.

Leki has also equipped the Venom SL TR with racing baskets and tips adapted for competitive skiing. Together with the ergonomic grip, these details round out a race pole built for the slalom course.
