Bladetech Runners

The blade is designed to flex slightly within the holder, which allows it to store vertical energy when you plant your foot. As you extend your stride, that energy is released, providing a noticeable boost in acceleration and power compared to rigid steel.

These runners are compatible with any hockey skate that uses a quick-release holder system, specifically Bauer and CCM models. If your current skates allow you to swap blades without tools, these will fit.

The DLC coating significantly hardens the surface of the steel. This means the blade is much more resistant to nicks and damage from impacts, and it helps your edges stay sharp for a longer period of time between sharpenings.

Not at all. The flex is engineered to be subtle and responsive, focusing on energy return rather than movement. You will feel the performance benefits in your stride, but the blade remains stable and secure underfoot during turns and stops.

Yes, by absorbing the impact forces that typically travel directly into your feet and ankles during skating, the flex mechanism helps dampen vibration. Many skaters find this reduces fatigue and pressure on the ankles, knees, and hips over the course of a game.

Bladetech offers a 365-day warranty on these runners. If you experience any manufacturing defects or performance issues within that first year, you are covered for a replacement.
