Tacks 9040

# CCM Tacks 9040 Hockey Skates


### Product Description: 


The CCM Tacks 9040 is an excellent choice for beginner and recreational hockey players. It's the most affordable skate in the Tacks line, featuring a comfortable injected mesh boot and a supportive microfiber liner. The pre-sharpened, non-replaceable stainless steel blades allow you to hit the ice right away, while the slightly elevated holder provides a more aggressive skating stride. However, these blades cannot be replaced when they become dull, so this skate is not intended for everyday players. Overall, the CCM Tacks 9040 is a good value for casual skaters and newcomers to the sport.

It occupies the entry-level position within the Tacks line, which has been a mainstay in CCM's hockey skate offerings for many years. The Tacks line is known for its focus on stiffness and responsiveness, catering to players who prioritize powerful skating and good ankle support.


### Perfect skates for:

recreational and entry-level player


### Key features include:



* A synthetic embossed quarter shell for durability.
* Heavy-duty microfiber liner for comfort and longevity.
* A low-profile injected outsole.
* CCM Footbed for support and comfort
* A non-replaceable stainless steel runner.


### Top competitors comparison: the [Bauer Nexus N2700](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/bauer/nexus-n2700/l9339) and the [True Hockey TF5](https://sidelineswap.com/search?q=True%20TF5). 

The Bauer Nexus N2700 skates offer a comparable level of performance to the Tacks 9040 skates, with a focus on comfort and stability. They feature a durable synthetic quarter package and a comfortable, padded liner for enhanced fit and feel. The Nexus N2700 skates also utilize the Tuuk Lightspeed Edge holder system for quick blade changes. On the other hand, the True TF5 skates provide a customizable fit with heat moldable technology, allowing for a personalized fit that adapts to the unique shape of the player's foot. They feature a composite boot construction for improved stiffness and support. 


### Progression:

The Tacks line categorizes skates based on player levels but doesn't follow a sequential order within each category.


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

PROS:



* These skates are a solid choice for players looking for a good balance of performance and affordability. The boot offers decent stiffness for powerful strides, and the steel provides good edge control.
* The SpeedBlade XS steel feels lighter than other models, which is nice. The liner is also comfortable and provides good ankle support.
* I've been using these skates for a few months now, and they seem to be holding up well.  The materials feel solid, and I haven't noticed any major wear and tear yet. 

CONS:



* Compared to some higher-end skates, these don't offer a lot of customization options. The liner isn't thermoformable, so you're stuck with a more generic fit.
* These skates are definitely on the stiffer side. While that's good for power transfer, it might be a bit too much for beginner players who are still learning proper skating techniques. 
* I noticed a couple of minor stitching issues on my skates.  Nothing major, but for the price point, I would expect slightly better quality control. Hopefully, this isn't a widespread problem.


### Expert notes (by [Austin MacDonald](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/dstars79)) 

The Tacks 9040 is a great skate for people wanting to try out the Tacks line but don't want to spend $1,000 on the top model. This skate will have all the comfort features you'd expect, like the moisture-wicking capability and high-quality foam. These skates don't have the quick-release mechanism, which is usually right under the heel. The blades are durable, but after lots of sharpening, you will need to replace the blade over time. The 9040 is a great option for kids and youth skaters who will outgrow the skate before replacing the blade. It's a good stepping stone.

**Top competitors comparison: [Bauer Vapor X2.7](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/bauer/vapor-x2-7/l59739) Hockey Skates and the [True TF9](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/true/tf9/l163956) Hockey Skates**

The Bauer Vapor X2.7 skates are known for their agility and quick acceleration on the ice, similarly to the FT340. Both skates feature lightweight construction and supportive materials for excellent performance. However, the Bauer Vapor X2.7 skates offer a different fit profile, with a slightly narrower design compared to the JetSpeed FT340, which may appeal more to players with narrower feet. The True TF9 Hockey Skates are recognized for their customizable options, providing a personalized fit that caters to the unique shape of each player's foot. 


### Progression

The CCM JetSpeed FT340 hockey skate is the entry-level model within the JetSpeed line. It’s progressed from the following models: 

[JetSpeed 250](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/ccm/jetspeed-250/l11591): 



* Entry-level or recreational skate that features the same quality and construction as the higher end models.
* Synthetic embossed shell that supports a durable outer shell. 
* Heavy duty microfiber liner 
* Low profile injected outsole provides a interface to maximize energy transfer.
* CCM footbed 
* Non-replaceable stainless steel runner that provides a longer lasting edge

[JetSpeed FT 340](https://sidelineswap.com/search?q=jetspeed%20ft%20340):



* Entry-level or recreational skate
* Quarter package that's been injected with mesh form skin for a durable outer shell
* A Brushed micro-fiber liner provides comfort and a resistance to wear and tear. 
* A 5mm Felt tongue provides comfort and protection. 
* Injected outsole helps with energy transfer with every stride. 
* CCM Footbed 
* Speedblade Pro holder and runner, which is non-replaceable stainless steel that increases the player's attack angle.


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

PROS:



* These skates are incredible! Super lightweight and feels responsive, which is exactly what I was looking for in a skate for quick cuts and accelerations. My strides feel really explosive.
* The fit on these skates is spot on. I went with the medium width and it feels like an extension of my foot. The SpeedBlade XS steel gives me some of the best edge control I've ever had.
* Big difference from my old skates. The ankle support in the JetSpeeds is top-notch. I feel really locked in and stable on my edges.

CONS:



* Less durable than expected for the price. The lining around the ankle already shows some signs of wear after just a couple of months of use. 

 



* I found the break-in period for these skates to be a bit longer than usual.  It took a good few weeks before they started to feel comfortable.
* These skates felt a bit too stiff for me, especially in the forefoot area. It restricted my toe flexion a bit and made it harder to get a good push-off. Maybe better suited for a more powerful skater than myself.


### Expert notes (by [Austin MacDonald](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/dstars79)) 

This skate is intended for people who skate about once a week and are not super competitive. It'll hold up. If you skate ten times a week with these skates, they will only last you a little while, maybe a month or two. However, the main thing is that there is no quick or easy release for the metal runners or the blades. Many players look for skates with a metal release, which will let them swap out their blades. The more you sharpen them, the thinner they get. And in this case, you'd have to replace the whole bottom, the holder. It's more intensive than just clicking a button and adding new blades. But really, a solid skate for those who don’t skate every day.

JetSpeed FT4

Super Tacks AS1

### Product Description 

Super Tacks AS1 skates are made for professional and elite level players, and are at the top of the CCM Tacks line. The one-piece heat moldable boot is constructed with a layered Premier Carbon Composite and MonoFrame 360 One-Piece Technology that improves durability and transfers power more efficiently for stronger strides. The boot is slightly taller for increased ankle support and the re-designed toe cap adds comfortable protection. The interior TotalDri Pro Dual-Zone Liner keeps feet dry and skates light while DuraZone Abrasion Resistance Pads provide grip, securing the foot and providing protection against abrasions. CCM OrthoMove Custom Support Insoles allow a personalized fit and increased energy transfer while a re-designed TriTech Flex tongue with injected foam offers mobile protection. The SpeedBlade 4.0 Holder has a triangular design for optimum balance and energy transfer while SB Black Runners have an oxide coating that helps the steel stay sharper longer without corroding.

### Expert Notes

These jets are among the most stylish looking skates on the market right now, and are recommended for elite level players. The black runner steel is a crowd favorite, because it holds an edge longer than standard steel tends to. You can clearly see when there are nicks in the blade, so it won’t be hard for you to figure out when they need to be replaced. These blades are also incredibly lightweight, and you’ll notice this right away when you pick them up. As you would expect with a top-of-the-line boot, they’re very stiff. AS1 skates also don’t have an outsole, so this combined with the stiffness allows for unreal foot control.

JetSpeed FT1

### Product Description

JetSpeed FT1 skates utilize the latest CCM technologies for a light, balanced skate that’s built for speed. The new RocketFrame boot design with LiteFrame 360 Technology is a one-pice construction that fits around and under the foot to eliminate the need for an outsole.  Heat moldable, the boot eliminates empty space and provides direct energy transfer. The TotalDri Pro liner is a lightweight wicking material with vents for dryness and breathability along with durability patches for grip and comfort. The Tri-Tech Tongue is high density felt for protection without limiting mobility, and the SpeedBlade 4.0 holder angles forward for more aggressive turning and cuts. The high quality SpeedBlade Hyperglide steel runner has a hard tempered finish that reduces friction and drag for efficient gliding and increased energy performance.

### Expert Notes 

Aesthetically, this skate is a fan favorite among hockey players who aren’t ashamed to say they care about the look of their gear. JetSpeed FT1 skates are praised for their black contoured boot with subtle red accents. This look is clean and sharp, and is very similar to Bauer’s 1X LE skate. In addition, the soft white tongue is extremely comfortable and adds some flashiness for those players who like to let their tongues fly while they’re skating. As far as performance goes, JetSpeed FT1 skates are super quick on the ice as a result of CCM’s one-piece technology, which produces an unbelievable level of responsiveness with each stride.

JetSpeed 250

# CCM JetSpeed 250 Hockey Skates

### Product Description:


The CCM JetSpeed 250 hockey skate caters to recreational and entry-level players seeking a balance of affordability and quality. Part of CCM's Jetspeed line, it inherits the brand's commitment to performance. This skate boasts a comfortable, supportive shell and a durable liner for extended use. The non-replaceable stainless steel blade offers a long-lasting edge, reducing the frequency of sharpening. While lacking the high-end features of its JetSpeed brethren, the 250 remains a solid choice for beginners looking for a comfortable and reliable skate to perfect their game, upholding the brand's legacy of providing equipment for players of all levels.


### Perfect skates for:

Recreational and entry-level players


### Key features include:



* Synthetic embossed quarter shell to enhance durability.
* Heavy-duty microfiber liner for long-lasting comfort.
* Low-profile injected outsole design ensures improved performance.
* Supported and comfortable footbed.
* A non-replaceable stainless steel runner for lasting durability.


### Top competitors comparison: the [Vapor X2.9](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/bauer/vapor-x2-9/l60200) and the [True TF7](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/true/tf7/l164202)

The Bauer Vapor X2.9 skates offer a similar level of performance as the JetSpeed 250 skates, with a focus on quickness and agility. They feature a lightweight construction and a composite boot design for improved support and stability. The Vapor X2.9 skates also utilize the Tuuk Lightspeed Edge holder system for quick blade changes. In comparison, the True TF7 skates provide a customizable fit with a heat moldable technology, allowing for a personalized fit that caters to the unique shape of the player's foot. They feature a composite shell for durability and stiffness, and the True Shift Holder for adjustable blade heights. 


### Progression:

CCM’s signature skate release for 2015 was the all-new CCM Jetspeed. It’s a top-to-bottom redesign that replaces the now-discontinued RBZ. 

The RBZ skates were much wider and had a lot of negative space. They also had a problem with heel lock, which caused skaters to slip out of their heels. This led to skaters overtightening their skates, damaging the quarter packages and eyelets on the lacing. CCM seriously considered these issues when designing the new and improved, full composite JetSpeed ice skates. The upgrades to the Jetspeed line include: 



* 40 grams lighter than their RBZ predecessor
* Contoured RocketFrame™ full composite boot. 
* Double-stitched tendon guard to improve their durability.
* A JetProtect tongue. The first layer of the tongue contains thick felt, then a layer of EPP (Expanded Polypropylene) foam, and finally, a layer of HD (High Density) foam. The outer portion of the tongue features a protective ridge for the laces to rest upon, a "heavy weapon" in the battle against lace-bite.
* Custom support insoles which come in high-arch, mid-arch, and low-arch options.


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

PROS:



* These skates are a fantastic option for beginner to intermediate players. They offer a good balance of comfort, performance, and affordability. The boot is supportive enough for learning proper technique, and the steel provides decent edge control.
* The boot feels nice and lightweight. It allows for quick turns and good responsiveness, which is exactly what I was looking for.  My skating feels more dynamic.
* The heat-moldable liner is a great feature for getting a more personalized fit. I was able to get rid of some pressure points around my ankles, which makes a big difference in comfort for longer skates. 

CONS:



* These skates felt a bit too soft for me. I couldn't get the same level of energy transfer as with a stiffer boot. If you're a more advanced player who needs maximum power transfer, you might want to consider a higher-end model.
* I've seen some mixed reviews about the durability of these skates.  While they seem fine for now, I'm a little worried about how they'll hold up with long-term use.
* The break-in period for these skates wasn't the most pleasant. They felt a bit stiff at first, but they did loosen up after a few skates.


### Expert notes (by [Austin MacDonald](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/dstars79))

The JetSpeed 250 is at the lower end of the JetSpeed line and focuses on speed and explosiveness. It's built for people just starting out or who only skate once a week. It'll give you a good feel of the JetSpeed line. The 250 doesn't have the quick-release holder, so you'd have to replace the bottom, but in most cases, for a recreational skater or someone just learning, it’s a great skate.
