Leki BLACK VENOM GS TR Ski Poles

A hybrid alpine ski pole designed for ambitious skiers

The Leki BLACK VENOM GS TR is an alpine ski pole directly inspired by the Venom GS race design, while featuring a hybrid construction designed to offer a more forgiving feel than pure competition models. Made from an HTS 6.5 aluminum alloy combined with carbon, it’s designed for ambitious skiers seeking control and stability on the slopes without sacrificing everyday comfort.

Grip and Power Transfer

The Trigger 3D ProG grip is the central feature of this pole. It incorporates a three-dimensional release mechanism that extends the release range to 220°, allowing the hand to disengage in a wide range of directions under stress. Clipping in and out remains quick and intuitive, making it easy to manage ski lifts and breaks on the slopes. The lightweight and comfortable Trigger Mesh Strap complements this setup by securing the hand without constricting the wrist. Note that all LEKI Trigger alpine wrist straps and gloves are compatible with one another, offering great flexibility if you want to customize your gear.

Hybrid Construction and Precision Planting

The Leki BLACK VENOM GS TR features a two-section construction that combines HTS 6.5 aluminum and carbon to balance stiffness with vibration absorption. The shaft has a diameter of 16/14 mm, a geometry that enhances energy transfer during turn initiation. The Flex Tip with a carbide tip ensures precise planting on hard or groomed snow, where precise planting makes all the difference in ski control. The Cobra Alpine binding plate rounds out the package with reliability suited to a variety of on-piste conditions. The stated weight is approximately 285 g for a 120 cm length, a figure consistent with the hybrid construction used.

Compatibility and Accessory Options

The BLACK VENOM GS TR includes an adapter cap that allows for the attachment of LEKI shaft protectors as well as the LEKI GoPro™ adapter—a useful option for skiers who want to film their runs. Available in lengths of 120, 125, and 130 cm in a Black-Carbon Structure colorway, this pole is suitable for unisex use and accommodates the most common body types among adult skiers who practice alpine skiing on groomed runs.

For skiers who want to experience the feel of race skiing without the constraints of a pure competition model, the Leki BLACK VENOM GS TR is a logical choice: its hybrid aluminum-carbon construction, an extended-release grip system, and a carbide tip combine to create a performance-oriented package for on-piste skiing, with a margin of tolerance that strict racing poles do not offer.
