The True Catalyst 5X6 Skates use a lightweight, one-piece shell to deliver exceptional energy transfer, pro-level stiffness, and powerful strides with outstanding stability and control.
Built with a Polyfusion shell, these skates combine a durable outer shell with an internal support structure for a lightweight, responsive feel. This construction increases stiffness without adding unnecessary weight for quicker acceleration, stronger edges, and efficient power transfer.
An updated SpeedShift holder and steel system is 15% lighter than the previous generation for quicker strides and more agile skating. A redesigned quick-release mechanism allows for fast blade changes, while a neutral pitch provides a balanced feel and improved control on the ice.
Inside the skate, a brushed tricot liner helps manage moisture and maintain comfort throughout the game. A laminated asymmetrical tongue uses multi-density foam for comfort and lace bite protection, while the integrated tendon guard promotes natural movement. A low-profile Carv toe cap maximizes internal volume for an improved fit without unnecessary bulk.
Built for players who demand responsiveness, lightweight performance, and True's renowned anatomical fit, the Catalyst 5X6 Skates deliver the speed, power, and control to elevate every shift.
