Description

Skate-Tec M-Wave 180 Short Track Speed Skating Blades 

• 7000 series aluminum (Firm or Flex) tubes
• 1.1 mm wide, 62-64 Hrc hardness (PM or Bi-metal) steel alloy runners
• Extremely light ST aluminum cups (between -2 and +5 mm sizes)

M-wave system suspension

Extra height than compared to the other standard blade suspensions.

Firm vs. Flex

The Firm tube has a bit more material at the bottom of the tube. This makes the skate stiffer, so it can keep its bend with higher forces. Firm tubes are more suited for heavier skaters.

The Flex tube is thinner at the bottom of the tube. Less material near the blade lets the blade bend more into the corner, providing a more dynamic behavior. Flex tubes are more suited for lighter skaters.

The M-wave blade series is also available in special variations:

1. Standard vs. Flattop

   The standard tubes have a higher cross section in the middle of the tube. This makes a standard tube stiffer in the normal direction. A standard tube will hold its rocker more. Flattop tubes are more flexible because of the lower cross section. The flattop tubes will therefore bend more when loaded. This causes the rocker to become flatter under load.

2. Special color variants, for example: purple, lemon yellow, red, pink, green, gray.

3. Quarter and three-quarter inch lengths, for example: 17.25″

Extra options and services for additional cost when ordering a blade:

• Angled Clips (forward between: 1 mm and 5 mm, sidewards: 1º, 2º, 3º)
• Precision grinding (Polished runners)
• Blade setup (customized bending and rockering)

Individual versions can result in delivery times longer, even more than 2-3 weeks.
