When purchasing a new pair of hockey skates, it is important to focus on fit. If you’re unsure which skate line or model fits your foot best, or if you want an accurate measurement and assessment, visit your local Pure Hockey.
Over the last couple of years Bauer has been focused on separating the performance attributes of the Supreme and Vapor skates from an on-ice performance and feel perspective. The new technologies, new materials and different flex points are what will differentiate these skates.
Supreme focuses on power with the lower part of the skate being stiffer to optimize energy transfer and the upper part of the skate being softer allowing for increased mobility. To allow maximum energy transfer, the quarter package is designed with 3D Lasted 12K Carbon Curv composite making this skate 5% lighter than the Ultrasonic.
An all-new feature found in the Supreme Mach skate is the Active Motion Performance Flex Technology. This Facing technology improves the overall flex profile of the skate. The AMP Flex Facing is a flex zone added between the 2nd and 3rd eyelets to allow increased forward mobility through the skating stride, enhancing range of motion for the skater. This in combination with the Reflex Tendon Guard, allows players to create more power quickly and efficiently to maximize the acceleration and transition zones of the blade.
The Unibody Powerwrap Technology in the outsole stiffens the lower portion of the skate for optimal energy transfer from the load to explode mechanics of skating. This, in combination with the all new Powercoil tongue, helps the player flex and load the skate more effectively.
The Mach includes an improved asymmetrical toe cap. Bauer found the previous Supreme asymmetrical toe cap fit tighter than planned so adjustments needed to be made. This toe cap design has been improved for out of the box comfort. It will reduce the volume of the skate for an enhanced low-profile fit, while also allowing you to improve your push-off with each stride.
Internally, Bauer used AeroFoam Pro to provide optimal comfort for the foot and ankle, and Lock-Fit Pro lining and footbed to keep your foot dry and locked in place throughout the game.
The all-new Mach skate offers a great combination of new technologies and trusted features, providing players with a pair of flexible, lightweight skates that aid in improved power and flexibility with each stride.
Lightweight one piece boot designed to allow max energy transfer to maximize speed and agility.
A new injected insert with faster recoil speed to help the player flex and load the skate effectively.
Lightspeed Edge Holder with an option to choose Carbonlite, Pulse Ti or Pulse runners to get a fully custom feel.
A flex zone added between the 2nd and 3rd eyelets to allow increased forward mobility through the skating stride, enhancing range of motion for the skater.
Engineered for performance by keeping your foot dry and locked in place.
Allows players to create more power quickly and efficiently to maximize the acceleration and transition zones of the blade.
