Progression:
While the 70K established the core design philosophy for agile skating, the 80K offered minor refinements, and the 100K Pro introduced significant upgrades in boot construction, flex points, holder design, and fit system options.
Key upgrades from the 70K and 80K:
- The RibCor 80K skates feature less stitching than the 70K resulting in better energy transfer and improved durability.
- Upgraded from traditional foam padding in the 70K to memory foram ankle padding in the 80K, improving comfort and fit.
- New SpeedBlade XS holders with a positive-lock dial on the XS1 holders. Tools are no longer required with the 80K to switch out your CCM runners.
Key upgrades from the 80K and 100K Pro:
- One piece boot design, helping with transferring energy through your leg, skate and ice.
- Updated Fit System with three different fit profiles (tapered, regular, and wide) for a wider range of foot shapes compared to the three-width option system in earlier models.
- Choice between various blade options like the Power CCM XS or Step Steel Black for customization based on player preference.
What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)
PROS:
- Amazing skates for agility! These skates are incredible for forwards who value quick turns and sharp cuts. The one-piece boot flex makes a huge difference in how much you can push into your strides. They are also very comfortable, even after long practices. Highly recommend!
- These skates are super light and feel very responsive on the ice. The BlackSteel blades are sharp and give you a great bite. My skating has gotten a lot more dynamic since I switched to these.
- I was surprised at how affordable these skates were compared to other high-end models. They don't skimp on quality at all. The fit is great and the liner keeps my feet dry.
CONS:
- The break-in period for these skates was a bit longer than I expected. My ankles were pretty sore for the first few weeks.
- These skates run a bit narrow. If you have wide feet, you might want to try a different model.
- Lacing system could be better. The laces that come with the skates are kind of flimsy. I had to replace them with a higher quality pair.
