Graf Ultra G5 and Ultra G70?

[g0o0nshow 0]

I was researching the Ultra G5 skate as Im interested in moving to it for my next set of skates. I came across a picture of G5's (so it seemed) that were all silver with a little black. Now when I enlarged the picture the skate was labled Ultra G-70, is this a new skate thats comming out and if soo should I wait? The G-70 didnt seem to have any blaring differences from the G5 but Im not a graf person this will be my first pair so I dont know of any changes it might have.

the G-70s you saw are a euro model. There will be an Ultra G-70 sometime later this year, as well as an Ultra G3 and Ultra G7.

They will retain the all black look of the Ultra G5, but will be constructed with different fits.

I'm guessing the Ultra G3 will have the traditional 703 Fit?

I am using a pair of the great white Ultra G-70's at the moment, very nice boot. Stiff and light.

I don't work at any LHS, so I don't have access to release dates or any other contact with manufacturers. (I go by what I've read on here from those who DO have those kind of contacts.) The skates were at the ONEGOAL show in Toronto and are supposed to be out in I believe the first half of '07, but Graf hasn't always been as punctual with releases as some have hoped in the past. Your best bet would be to go to a LHS in your area that carries Graf and ask about whichever model you're interested in.

I was told somewhere around April 15th they were expecting the new graf line to come in.
