The latest skate offering from Bauer is the Hyperlite 2 skate, which is the new top-of-the-line model in the brand’s longstanding VAPOR line-up.
Traditionally the lightest of the three Bauer skate lines, the Hyperlite 2 builds on the VAPOR mission of quickness and agility. The leading feature is the Powerfly Holder, which Bauer advertises with as a stiff front post for a boost in acceleration, a flexible back post to help with pivoting and a “hyperbolic” bridge for increased balance and power in each stride.
