Overview
The Bladetech Multi-Fit Black Diamond DLC Steel Runners can flawlessly swap between Bauer's Tuuk Lightspeed Edge and PowerFly holders allowing players and teams to use this single runner between both quick-release trigger holders on the fly! These runners are incredibly strong thanks to the diamond-like coating finish. This premium coating extends the lifespan of the runner because of its ability to fight off nicks, chips, corrosion, and scratches. Not only that but it holds an edge longer than standard runners and reduces friction to improve your glide.
Unique to Bladetech is Flex-Force technology, a patented design in which the front of the runner flexes up into the holder. Energy is stored and released upon your stride, boosting your speed and acceleration by up to 5%! It even gives players health benefits by reducing stress on the knee joints where all that vertical energy would normally be absorbed.
Lastly, the runners come pre-profiled so that the blades maintain better ice contact in all skating positions. This improves stability, glide, acceleration, stopping and turning over standard stock profiles.
IW can have your skate blades delivered profiled, sharpened and game-ready! With custom blade profile options including Zuperior, Quad and Ellipse, you can immediately improve your speed, stability and agility compared to stock flat profiles. We also offer a wide range of sharpening options and when it is time for a fresh profile or edge tune-up, use our Express Mail-In Skate Blade Profiling and Sharpening service. Select your blade profile and sharpening hollow when you add a blade to your cart. Learn even more here.
