The centerpiece of the new line is the new Supreme Ultrasonic. The Supreme Ultrasonic is the ultimate performance skate for the elite player, designed to maximize power and control. A 3D Lasted Carbon Curv composite boot stiffens the lower portion of the boot, allowing every push to build towards maximum energy transfer and faster straight line speed. Additionally, a power boot cut offers an increased wrap for optimal foot stability and support. It also features the Tuuk LS Pulse TI steel. A titanium coating gives it better edge retention and grip, providing more consistency during use, while maintaining speed. This new blade is also equipped with Bauer’s Power Profile*, which helps the player maintain speed and a more powerful stride. Finally, the Reflex Tendon Guard, Reflex PRO tongue, and Flex Facing all work together to improve range of motion. The Ultrasonic’s Flex Rating is 90, which is the most supportive boot, providing incredible stability for the elite skater.

Bauer’s New Power Quad Skate Profile
Bauer’s Power Profile is a 4 Zoned Radii, known as a Quad profile. The blade shape is designed with 4 zones uniquely placed and designed for specific performance improvements during all types of edge work.
• The first zone, located near the toe of the runner, is shaped to maximize acceleration. As the player begins their stride, the weight shifts over the top of the toes for the initial drive into the ice, utilizing a 6 inch radius.
• The second zone, known as the transition zone, sits on a 9 inch radius, which helps transition the players stride from rapid acceleration to measured, longer striding. The center of gravity shifts slightly back from the acceleration stride.
• The third zone, is the speed zone. Leveraging an 11 inch radius, the player is now maximizing their blade to ice contact for an efficient power transfer and straight line speed.
• The final zone, towards the heel of the blade, is the stability zone. This area holds the longest radius with 13 inches to provide balance as players shift between their edges when pivoting and absorbing contact.
