A couple of big upgrades Bauer put into the top two models of the 2023 Vapor line include the PowerFly Holder, Aerolite 2.0 Tongue, improved eyelets, and better materials in the outsole for a more comfortable and responsive skate. This year Bauer has pushed performance to another level with the introduction of the PowerFly Holder, increasing player’s takeoff acceleration and side to side transitions through the various flex points. The front post of the holder is rigid, increasing energy transfer in every stride for faster acceleration. The hyperbolic stability bar increases balance for quicker transitions, and the responsive back post promotes faster side to side transitions. The blade channel is also modified to incorporate hyperbolic geometry, improving the integration of the steel and holder, lowering the stress on the trigger during impacts. With the new hyperbolic geometry comes the new FLY-X steel, the direct replacement to the Pulse Steel and the titanium coded FLY-TI, the direct replacement to the PULSE-TI. The new steel types are compatible for both the new PowerFly holder and the Lightspeed Edge holder. It is important to note that the previous generation Lightspeed Edge steel is not compatible with the new PowerFly holder.

These optimizations give additional confidence to the players using them during tight turns and puck ba
