Leki PITCH BACK Ski Poles

A versatile freeride pole for deep snow and varied terrain

The Leki Pitch Back is a fixed-length ski pole designed for freeriding and off-piste adventures in deep snow. Its HTS 6.0 (Heat Treated Shaft) aluminum shaft, heat-treated for added strength, offers a sturdy construction suited for demanding terrain. With its interchangeable Big Mountain baskets and secure-release strap, it meets the needs of skiers looking to explore every facet of the mountain.

Grip and Comfort: A Secure Hold, Even in Challenging Conditions

The ProG PAS grip features a non-slip surface and a slim design that promotes a precise grip, even with thick gloves. A foam grip extension allows for multiple grip positions, which is useful for adjusting your grip depending on the slope or snow conditions you encounter. The Lock System wrist strap, made of reinforced neoprene with a fleece insert and a secure release mechanism, ensures a comfortable fit while allowing the wrist to be quickly freed in the event of a fall. This combination of grip and wrist strap guarantees a secure connection between the hand and the pole in the most dynamic situations.

Construction and performance: heat-treated aluminum and 16 mm tube

The 16 mm diameter HTS 6.0 aluminum tube undergoes a heat treatment that enhances its stiffness and resistance to mechanical stress while keeping the weight low. The Leki Pitch Back weighs 242 grams per pole at a length of 120 cm, a figure consistent with its freeride purpose, where a balance between durability and maneuverability is sought. The steel tip, integrated directly into the shaft, ensures precise positioning and optimal grip on hard surfaces as well as packed snow.

Versatility and compatibility: Big Mountain baskets and tool-free adjustment

The inclusion of Big Mountain baskets is one of the Leki Pitch Back’s standout features. These snowflake-shaped baskets are designed to provide a wide, stable base in deep and variable snow. They are interchangeable thanks to the Flextip system, which allows for quick, tool-free changes—a practical advantage for adapting the pole to daily conditions without complicated adjustments. The model is available in lengths of 110, 115, 120, and 125 cm, covering the most common sizes for adult freeride skiing, for both women and men.

With its durable HTS 6.0 aluminum, secure-release wrist strap, and Big Mountain baskets designed for powder, the Leki Pitch Back is designed for freeride skiers who regularly ski off-piste and want a reliable pole that feels secure in the hand and can be easily adjusted to suit the snow conditions they encounter.
