The XC Flex Weapon is built for skaters who needs power, speed, and control in every push. Featuring a unique design that blends flexibility in the lips with rigidity in the top of the tube, this skate offers a perfectly balanced feel: more control without losing speed.
Compared to the XQ, the XC has a connection between the pillers and the pillers are slightly wider, allowing it to distribute pressure more effectively across the entire blade—translating to better power transfer with every push. This makes the XC Flex a strong in both straightaways and corners.
The runners are made from Full PM (64Hrc) of Bi-metal/PM (66Hrc) steel, known for its superior grip in corners, smoother turning, and longer edge life. Precision Bend Technology guarantees an accurate and consistent Bent radius, tailored for elite performance.
Handcrafted by Hagen Techniek in the Netherlands, the upgraded aluminum PRO cups on the XC Flex are lighter and stiffer, reducing overall weight while increasing torsional stiffness. The result? A more connected and stable feel on the ice—perfect for high-intensity training and competition.
The XC Flex Weapon delivers responsive power, refined control, and world-class build quality.
The XC Firm Weapon is built for powerful skaters who demand rigidity, grip, and control, the StayBent XC Firm is the stiffer counterpart to the XC Flex. Engineered with a different construction in the pillers, this skate is designed to handle higher forces.
Where the XC Flex offers controlled flex in the lips, the XC Firm prioritizes stiffness throughout—especially in the lower section—for those who need more support, better hold of bent in corners, and improved power hold at high speeds. This makes it the ideal choice for heavier or more physically powerful skaters who benefit from a blade that won’t flex under pressure.
Just like the XC Flex, the wider pillers allows for optimal power transfer across the full blade length. Combined with full PM (64Hrc) or Bi-metal/PM (66Hrc) runners and Precision Bend Technology, the XC Firm ensures a consistent and reliable pre-Bend with superior edge retention and stability in technical sections.
