❓ FAQ (Tap to Expand)
Will these fit my skates?
These runners are designed for Bauer PowerFly holders & CCM Speedblade XS. If you’re not sure what holder you have, snap a quick photo of the holder sidewall and send it to us—we’ll confirm before you order.
Do these come as a pair?
Yes—this listing is for two runners (left + right).
Are they pre-profiled?
Yes. These are pre-profiled with a 9’ / 10’ / 11’ triple-radius (Bladetech Triple Blend) for smoother transitions and balanced edge contact.
Do I need sharpening?
Yes, you will need to get these sharpening prior to using them. Add a custom ROH or FBV so they hit the ice exactly how you like.
What’s the “Diamond-like Coating” finish?
DLC finish means the steel has an ultra-hard epoxy like coating on the blades that allow a 10-15% increase in hardness for better edge retention. Think: faster, smoother, and consistent—especially when the ice gets choppy. You'll be able to push past the competition with these blades!
