The Bauer Vapor X Velocity INT Hockey Skates have been exclusively designed for Source For Sports. This skate is ideal for the competitive player looking for performance enhancing features, new technology, and instant comfort all at a lower price.
Skate Fit Profile
Like the Hyperlite, the Vapor X Velocity features the Performance Skate Fit System as well. The classic D and EE widths have been replaced in this size range by Fit 1, Fit 2, and Fit 3. This may sound confusing, however, this allows you the freedom to wear different options in the Bauer family.
Previously you based your decision on the traditional “Vapor Fit”, “Supreme Fit”, or “Nexus Fit”. Now all 3 skate fits are available to wear with “Supreme Features”, or “Vapor Features”, whichever aligns with your preference. Below is how the new Bauer Skate Fit System compares to previous years’ of Bauer Skates.
- Fit 1 = Low Volume, Narrow width (closest aligned to the Vapor fit profile)
- Fit 2 = Medium Volume, Medium Width (closest aligned to the Supreme fit profile)
- Fit 3 = High Volume, Wide Width (closest aligned to the Nexus fit profile)
Boot Construction & Stiffness Profile
The X Velocity features Bauer’s 3D Lasted Flex Composite material. This material has allowed Bauer to reduce the overall weight of the boot by about 60 grams. In addition, because this boot is Flex Composite, it will be slightly softer than the 3D lasted Pro Curv Carbon Composite that comes on the X Shift Pro. This Flex Composite material is used to provide good stability while still allowing great ankle flexion. The top of the boot is lined with Comfort Edge Padding to reduce bite when performing stops and aggressive tight turns.
Liner & Internal Padding
The X Velocity is designed with a focus on comfort and reduced break-in time. It features a 1 piece sublimated liner and memory foam ankle pads. The sublimated liner provides great comfort while wicking away moisture as you sweat. The boot is also designed with a Comfort Edge lined along the top of the boot to stop bites when performing stops and quick turns.
Asymmetrical Toe Cap
The X Velocity features an asymmetrical toe cap. This new toe cap has been revolutionized to reduce the negative space which results in a better fit. It also generates more power with every push stride. Bauer designed this toe cap based on the data collected from over 400,000 scans from the Bauer 3D scanner.
Tongue
Bauer has styled its X Velocity tongue to keep the main focus on comfort and performance. The tongue includes a 40 oz Pro Stock felt tongue infused with an injected comfort pad down the middle to offer a balance of performance, support, and great feel.
Insoles
The X Velocity comes with your standard Form Fit footbed. This insole allows your foot to stay secure to the bed of the boot. It also increases the control and blade contact you have while skating.
Steel Runner, Holder & Blade Profile
The X Velocity skate is equipped with Tuuk Lightspeed 1+ Black steel. This upgraded steel is oxidized to provide increased sharpening life and boost the bite you get on your edges.
The holder used is the Tuuk Lightspeed Edge with a quick release trigger system. This golder is the number one holder used by NHL and professional players.
Graphics
The graphic on the X Velocity is similar to the X Shift Pro but with some subtle differences. The main part of the boot you will notice a gradient black pattern with a bright red stripe down the middle portion. What really stands out on this boot is the vibrant red comfort edge liner and blacked out steel.
