Leki Mezza Race Pole - 2021/22
Built for those operating at the high end of their aerobic capacity, the Mezza Race will willingly accompany you on trips to the podium, FKT attempts, and beyond. Utilizing a light and durable carbon shaft, the Mezza Race boasts a low swing weight, helping ease the burden while you are operating at your limit. Compared to the current Mezza Race pole, this model utilizes the Shark 2.0 grip system, which features all the functionality of the Nordic Grip, but in a slightly less ergonomic package. The trailing basket design allows for efficient uphill travel while the Shark 2.0 grip pairs seamlessly with select Leki gloves for efficient power transfer and exceptionally quick transitions. With its excellent blend of performance and ease of use, the Mezza Race - 2021/22 is a smart choice to bring home.
- Trigger Shark 2.0 grip pairs with Leki gloves for exceptional power transfer and ease of use.
- Cork Grip provides a solid platform to hold, which is especially useful during blizzard conditions.
- Trailing basket design prevents the pole from being obnoxiously leveraged out of the snow.
- Carbon construction provides a solid platform to push against and allows the pole to have an athletic weight.
- An excellent option for racing and speedy ski ascents.
Update 2023/24: This model was replaced by Leki Mezza Race Pole.

Questions & Reviews
I would say a 145 is probably too big for you, yes. 125 does sound a bit short, you are likely 130 or 135. I'm 5'11 and I like 135. It is normal to size up beyond your downhill pole length in a race pole, for sure, but 145 from 125 would be a huge jump.
If you wanted a longer pair, I think 135 would probably be plenty. 140 at most, but that might be a bit much.
