CCM Tacks XF 80

The one-piece boot eliminates the need for an outsole, which creates a more direct connection between your foot and the ice. This design improves energy transfer, meaning more of your power goes directly into your stride rather than being lost in the boot structure.

These runners feature increased height and thickness compared to standard blades. This extra steel provides a better bite on the ice and allows for a more aggressive attack angle during tight turns without bottoming out the holder.

No, it is designed to do the opposite. The Flex Tendon 3.0 allows for a greater range of motion, specifically helping you extend your stride fully and maintain better agility during explosive movements.

The Tacks XF 80 is built with a regular width fit. If you typically require a wide or extra-wide skate, you may find this model too restrictive, as it is designed for a standard anatomical profile.

The updated ankle foams are designed to provide immediate comfort and a secure lock right out of the box. While they still require a short break-in period to mold to your specific anatomy, the enhanced cushioning reduces the likelihood of pressure points during the first few skates.
