The hockey world is abuzz with the release of the new CCM Tacks XF Pro Hockey Skates. These skates are the epitome of high-performance gear, designed for players who demand the best in every stride. With groundbreaking technology and innovative design from CCM, the Tacks XF Pro Skates promise to elevate your game to the next level. Let’s dive into the details and explore why these skates are a must-have for any serious hockey player.
Unparalleled Performance with One-Piece Boot POWER
The heart of the CCM Tacks XF Pro Skates lies in its new One-Piece Boot POWER construction. This design amplifies power and explosiveness with every stride, offering players a more responsive boot that delivers exceptional energy transfer. The higher in-step volume, achieved through extended facings, provides a more generous fit in the midfoot, catering specifically to elite Tacks skaters who need that extra room for optimal performance.
Advanced Boot Material with FORS Composite
The boot material of the CCM Tacks XF Pro Skates is crafted from FORS Composite combined with a high-end core and chrome graphic. This premium composite material enhances the weight-to-stiffness ratio, ensuring long-term durability and performance. The result is a lighter, more responsive skate that doesn’t compromise on strength or support.
Elite-Level Stiffness
One of the standout features of these skates is their stiffness rating of 215. This super lightweight, stiff, and thermo-formable core is engineered to generate ultimate skating performance. Whether you're accelerating down the ice or making sharp turns, the rigidity of the boot ensures maximum energy efficiency and responsiveness.
Superior Liner Technology
The TotalDri Pro liner with responsive foam and Polygiene treatment sets these skates apart. This high-performance, moisture-wicking material keeps your feet dry and your skates light. The responsive foam backing ensures a snug, comfortable fit throughout the boot, while the Polygiene antimicrobial treatment helps fight odor and bacteria, keeping your skates fresh over time.
Enhanced Flex and Protection
The Flex Tendon 3.0, made with FORS Composite, allows for greater extension on skating strides, translating to increased speed and agility on the ice. This tendon guard also provides improved protection and support, ensuring that your feet are well-protected against impacts and abrasions.
Optimal Comfort and Ankle Padding
CCM has integrated ADPT Memory Foam with Heel Lockdown and seamless comfort technology into the skates. This multi-layered configuration uses denser memory foam for an elite-level fit and comfort. The optimized positioning and boot shaping create a Heel Lockdown zone, which secures your foot from stride to stride, preventing any unwanted movement.
Advanced Tongue Construction
The TriTech Construction tongue with D3O® protection offers 7mm black felt and a molded foam core that wraps your foot perfectly for superior on-ice fit and comfort. The injected D3O® lacebite guard provides added protection and improved forward flexion, enhancing both safety and performance.
Lightweight Midsole and Footbed
The lightweight composite midsole in the CCM Tacks XF Pro Skates ensures superior energy transfer from boot to blade, maximizing your stride efficiency. Additionally, the molded CCM Ortholite Ultra footbed with ADPT Memory Foam provides ultra-lightweight comfort, a molded fit, heel grip support, and an added layer of memory foam for extra cushioning.
SpeedBlade XS Holder and STEP Blacksteel Runner
The SpeedBlade XS holder with an enhanced dial is another innovative feature of these skates. This quick-release holder and bladelock system, featuring a 136% larger dial with improved texturization, offers better grip and faster blade changes on the fly. Paired with the highest quality STEP Blacksteel runner, which boasts carbon-coated technology for superior edge hardness, phenomenal glide, and increased skating speed, these skates are built for top-tier performance.
The CCM Tacks XF Pro Protective Gear
In addition to the skates, CCM also launched the Tacks XF Pro line of protective gear a month prior. This gear includes shoulder pads, elbow pads, shin guards, and hockey pants, all designed with the same high-performance standards as the skates. Tacks XF Pro maximizes protection and comfort on the ice with the ADPTFIT adjustable strapping system and personalized fit options. With CCM’s new Tacks XF Pro gloves, built for comfort and feel, as well as our new Tacks XF pants with an integrated AER-TEC system, you’ll be able to bring your game to the next level. Experience gear that fits your game and your style with the ultimate protection of the Tacks XF Pro, the top choice of pro players everywhere.
