    Couple of questions:

    1. What in the process of making these blades makes them lighter?  Is it the blend of steel that you use?
    2. What makes them stronger?
    3. What about the blades makes them glide better?
    4. How is the edge retention vs Step, LS4, or CCM SB Blacksteel?

    1. The patent upper profile design in combination with the blades being 1.5 mm shorter than LS4.

    2. Material composition

    3. .1-.2 Ra super polished surface finish and precision laser cut profile.

    4. Approx. 20-25% better edge retention.

    I'd be interested to see tests on this. Is that what hits when one "bottoms out" on a turn? I thought it was the boot itself.

     

    I follow you, to a point. But isn't there more room for even more added height? Look at the comparative height of roller hockey chassis. I know there are other elements that make that comparison less than perfectly direct (lack or radius on typical roller setup being one), but it makes me think there might be quite a bit of potential to add height without getting into the negative balance area. As for stability, isn't that more to do with the radius of the blade than the height of the boot off the ice?

    I like to use the analogy of Stilts or heels. The higher your center of mass is from the ground the more difficult it would be to balance yourself.

    The new holders are also taller. The Bauer Edge holder is 3mm taller than previous holder and the CCM Speedblade holder is 4mm taller than previous holder. Adding even more height by using a taller blade would negatively effect stability and balance.

    All Byonic Skate Blades come precision laser cut with our patent "xLite" upper profile design for optimal balance, quickness and control. The lower blade height (.040 -.050 < LS4) we feel is the ideal choice for maximum stability, turning and explosive pivoting. 

     All our blades are made out of high strength certified stainless steel with added Molybdenum for max edge life and impact resistance, with a hardness range 52-56 HRC.

    We also offer a "Superpolished"  surface finish (Ra = 0.1-.0.2 microns) for optimum glide, increased speed, energy conversation and maneuverability. 

    The colour coated blades are "Cosmetic" only and do wear easily especially when coming in contact with other skates. They offer the same performance benefits as our brushed steel. We are currently working on methods to improve durability of our Gen 1 colour coated blades.

    What some are saying about Byonic Blades:

    Drew

    Wore my blades last night and absolutely love them by far the best blades I have skated on!!!

    Also have a customer testing them out as we speak.

    Great blades guys I really really love the design of them nicest sounding blades I have ever skated on and I cut harder then ever I am going to endorse these amazing blades. I am currently wanting to switch all my 2 sets of Step steel into Byonic blades.

    First of all, Thanks you for the blades, they made the skates look amazing!

    I have tried them on now and i can only say that i just love them. superb grip!

     I have only skated for about 2 hours with them, but the edge still look as good as new 😊

    A lot of my teammates have looked at the blades and they are very interesting in them, so hopefully you will sell a lot when the season starts up again 😊

     

     

    Nick R,

    LOVE THE BLADES BUDDY!!!  Better than Tydan!

     

    Hi S,

    I was just going to email you today. Jack used them in a practice and just did an open skate on Saturday, because his team had been off the ice for a few days. Well he absolutely loves the Byonic blades. At the open skate he was flying on them. We interchanged them with the LS4's a few different times and he went full out on both and said he prefers the Byonic blades to the LS4. He said he feels like he has more control, acceleration, speed and feels a slight difference in weight. My wife and I could both see a difference in the way he was skating from one to the other. She was actually saying we should do a little clip of him skating on them and post it on the Byonic's instagram as Jack is following them. I was going to ask you if there was any chance of getting him another set? I like to keep it consistent for Jack with the same runners. Lmk. Thanks again, Scot.

    Thank you so much for taking the time to comment. I couldn't agree more with points 1 and 3. I neglected to mention that all our blades are precision laser cut and come with 9-10 contour out of the box. All blades identically matching. If you have a minute please visit our instagram page. I provide more detailed specifics on the effects of weight savings. We bench marked our design to be better than Step and Tydan,which I feel are excellent products. My goal is to provide the best blade on the market at a fair price. The Colors are simply cosmetic and provide an option for those who may want something different. We will also be working with organizations during fundraising for events such as pink in the rink.

    Ran across you guys on Instagram the other day and was intrigued enough to poke around on your website for a bit.  Here are my thoughts:

    1) As we all know, stock steel from the major skate manufacturers is largely crap.  As such, I very much appreciate the fact that there are multiple aftermarket options where things like "steel composition" and "edge retention" are considered; as opposed to merely "cost to manufacture". 

    2) "world's fastest performance skate blade"?  Really?  How do you quantify that?  

    3) The weight reduction is definitely interesting and I love how you're pushing the envelope with your metallurgy and engineering.  However, I'm not sure how much difference weight will ultimately make in the "real world".  To me, proper profiling of the blade has a much greater impact on skating than the weight of the blade.  Put differently, while neither a good profile nor the weight of the blade will take a crappy skater and miraculously make him/her a good skater; a good profile CAN make a good skater better...I'm not sure the same can be said about a feather-weight blade.

    4) Admittedly personal bias here, but I'm 100% against colored blades for color's sake.  IMHO, it's a gimmick that needs to disappear from the game.  If a player is worried about the COLOR of his/her skate blades, then s/he is worried about the WRONG THING.  If there's a performance benefit, fine...but having a red (or blue...or yellow...or pink) blade that, in the end, is nothing more than a fashion statement is patently ridiculous.  

    In the end, while I have Tyden steel on my skates and my kid's skates, I definitely wish Byonic all the luck in the world.  I love to see innovation and passionate people trying to redefine what's possible........just not in obnoxiously unnecessm

Certified high strength stainless reinforced with Molybdenum for meximum edge life and impact resistance. Superpolished surface finish for optimum glide and speed transfer. and offered in various colors.
