New Bauer Vapor Hyperlite 2 Hockey Skates 8.5 (Steel NOT Included)

Bauer has pushed performance to another level with the introduction of the PowerFly Holder, increasing player’s takeoff acceleration and side to side transitions through the various flex points. The front post of the holder is rigid, increasing energy transfer in every stride for faster acceleration. The hyperbolic stability bar increases balance for quicker transitions, and the responsive back post promotes faster side to side transitions. The new steel types (FLY-X and FLY-TI) are compatible for both the new PowerFly holder and the Lightspeed Edge holder. It is important to note that the previous generation Lightspeed Edge steel is not compatible with the new PowerFly holder. Bauer optimized the Hyperflex outsole, which was found in the previous HyperLite model, by using denser materials in the back portion of the skate. These optimizations give additional confidence to the players using them during tight turns and puck battles. Bauer improved the comfort where the tongue and ankle interact by adding comfort edge. This alleviates the pressure point on the ankles, while still maintaining flexibility and performance.

The Vapor Hyperlite 2 is a high-performance hockey skate designed for quickness and agility. It features a stiff upper and flexible lower boot for optimal balance, along with the PowerFly Holder for explosive acceleration, Aerolite 2.0 Tongue for comfort, and Hyperflex Tech for durability. With its lightweight Carbon Curv Composite construction and LockFit Pro liner, the Hyperlite 2 ensures a secure and powerful skating experience.

There is not as much difference between the HyperLite and the HyperLite 2 as there was between the Hyperlite and the 2x Pro, but the 2 is really just a lighter skate. More comfort features have been added also, and there is a new locking mechanism. The HyperLite 2 still offers the quick release, but it's a different upgraded style, which makes it easier to switch the steel in and out. The holder itself is different and extremely lightweight.
