Blade Comparison
0.7 VS 0.8
The Skate-Tec 527 blade offers two tube thickness options: 0.7 mm and 0.8 mm. Each thickness caters to different skating styles and preferences:
- 0.7 mm Tube: This thinner tube option provides greater flexibility, making it ideal for lighter skaters and those who prefer a more responsive blade. The increased flex allows for better maneuverability and adaptability, making it a great choice for all-round skaters who participate in various speed skating events.
- 0.8 mm Tube: The slightly thicker 0.8 mm tube offers more rigidity, providing enhanced stability and control. This option is suitable for skaters who prefer a firmer blade, allowing for more powerful strokes and better performance in specific racing conditions.
Choosing the right tube thickness allows skaters to customize their blades to match their weight, skating style, and performance goals.
Precision Formed Steel Tube
Our tubes represent the culmination of almost twenty years of rigorous experimentation and refinement. As the sole skate company offering tube profiles that go beyond simple curves, we incorporate unique features such as flat points and ridges to enhance performance. These design elements are strategically integrated to affect the tube's bending response under the pressure of a stroke, optimizing performance. We have validated our tube designs through mathematical modeling, ensuring each tube delivers exceptional on-ice performance.
Oversized
Our blades feature oversized bridges that add an impressive centimeter to the length of the bridge, significantly increasing the flex. This additional flex enhances both steering and stability compared to the standard edition, subtly transforming the character of your blades. The oversized bridges provide greater maneuverability and control, allowing skaters to navigate the ice with increased confidence and precision. Experience the improved performance and nuanced handling that comes with our oversized bridges.
