The Carbon skate has successfully broken free from the dominance of plastic that has characterised aggressive skate technology since its inception. The Carbon represents a genuine innovation, and its "Lighter - Faster - Closer" motto brilliantly encapsulates the benefits of this advancement, with skaters globally enjoying its advantages.
For many skaters, the Carbon is a fantastical skate, yet as the pioneer of its kind, we have discovered methods to enhance it further:
- Enhanced flexibility
- Durable support
- Increased comfort
- Unique new cuff
- Brand new forward flex advancements for improved jumps and landings.
- Robust construction
- Lower cost despite performance improvements
- Triple-stitched exterior boot for unprecedented resistance.
This is now a true softboot hybrid that provides even greater longevity and incorporates a new cuff for superior support and flexibility. This new cuff, crafted with an exclusive and innovative mould, features a v-cut cuff that complements the improved lining of the skate. Thanks to this new cuff, the enhanced flexibility places less strain on the internal lining, allowing for extended lifespan, perfect heel lock, and overall better performance.
The flexibility is also enhanced by a distinctive tongue, a single piece made from various foams ensuring exceptional comfort, perfect flexibility, and no creases or excess material that could lead to blisters.
We have also reimagined the internal framework, making the carbon lower with a new shape. Introducing more flex zones to accommodate the additional cuff while maintaining ample support to perform any trick you envision and implementing the crucial improvement of superb forward flex into the design is a significant advantage for your jumps and landings.
