mackallica 0 Report post Posted February 20, 2007 The Synergy 1500C I belive is the lightest skate. 745 Grams or something?The S15 is going taking the place of the 1500C and the S15 is supposed to be 700 grams. The S11, I think, is still supposed to be ligher than 745, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The S15 will be the lightest (and they ditched the ShockDoctor sole) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bainsstatic 0 Report post Posted February 21, 2007 What would you say the lightest ones in the sub-$150 category are? I'm looking for a pair for rec league - something lighter than my current CCM 452s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jimmy 194 Report post Posted February 21, 2007 What would you say the lightest ones in the sub-$150 category are? I'm looking for a pair for rec league - something lighter than my current CCM 452s.Sub-$150 you're looking at a Bauer Vapor XIV, they are relatively light. If you can find a Vector 6.0 2005 model those are fairly light as well. Eastons old Ultralite is pretty good too. For just $50 more though, I'd look for closeout top of the line skates from 1-2 yrs ago, they are super light light. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Biaggi 0 Report post Posted February 21, 2007 You know this weight issue is getting bad when a skate company ditch's an insole because it makes the skate wiegh too much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

furlanitalia 1 Report post Posted February 21, 2007 So wait, the S15's have no insole in them? i know they're gonna be a little crazy, one lhs i was at weighed them at 680g, and they're gonna retail for 849 cdn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ATLstealth09 0 Report post Posted February 21, 2007 At $150, look for some clearance stuff, or auctions on eBay. I got my Synergy 1300's on eBay for $145, so anything can happen. Your best bet is probably finding some older models. Don't worry about weight too much; it makes a difference to an extent, but not enough to sacrifice, say, proper fit. For a budget skate, most are around the same weight, so go for fit.I'd suggest maybe CCM 652 on hockeyworld, since they are only $90 USD last time I checked.

Mario123 2 Report post Posted May 3, 2007 Does anyone know the official weight of the Vapor XXXX's? The XXX's are 795 grams for a size 8. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hockeydog 8 Report post Posted May 3, 2007 To a extent weight matters but at this point I think it is all marketing.I have a pair of One90's but they ended up killing my feet, went back to my Graf 704's ( from around 1998- with Tuuks) and I skate better because my feet are not crying in pain all night.
