Bladetech Lightspeed 2 Polished
Overview
The Bladetech Lightspeed 2 Polished Steel Runners feature Flex Force Technology, which makes Bladetech unlike any other replacement steel on the market. Flex Force Technology provides hockey players with both performance and health benefits. The runner has a unique design where the blade flexes up into the holder, absorbing and storing the vertical energy before exploding it back out during the stride extension.
This new technology increases player speed and acceleration, as well as absorbs vertical energy that would normally be absorbed by the knee joint. This ultimately reduces stress on the knees while increasing the efficiency of each stride, slowing down player fatigue. Bladetech only uses the highest quality of steel and finished the surface with a high polish, giving players a longer glide and sharpening life.
IW can have your skate blades delivered profiled, sharpened, and game-ready with Elite Blade Performance technology! Choose custom profiles like Double, Triple, Quad, SCS, and Polaris to boost speed, stability, and agility. We offer various sharpening options and an Express Mail-In service. Select your profile and sharpening hollow when adding a blade to your cart.
