Is the new hummer magnesium?

[Swiss17 0]

dont believe so. It doesnt say on the chassis.

[teamlabeda 1]

The Hummer is made out of 7000 series aluminum.

[kovalchuk71 212]

Just curious; Why haven't you guys come out with a magnesium chassis?

Usually double the price and 50 grams lighter.....personally I'd rather have the cash.

[kovalchuk71 212]

Not double the price if it is already on a high end skate.

I wasn't referring to the skate.....but that chassis itself is usually about double the price.

it's official the new Tour Skate has reached One 90 Glove status where everyone said "It's so ugly" or I'd never and then when they finally saw them in person, relented and bought a pair...

the best part of this thread is that someone noted Barnette as an elite player..he'll be happy to read that....a good kid who played well when it counted to earn his spot into that school and team..

Agreed. The Genesis wheels were garbage. Within 2 skates I had split 3 wheels, switched over to MB-816's and couldn't be happier that I made the adjustment.

Agreed. I had the genesis wheels on my skates and did not last very long-went to the rr mb816's and love them.. play 2 times a week and are holding up well.

I use one of those genesis wheels in the front with some 78A rr hot shots behind. I like the setup. I'll switch to mb816's in the back pretty soon.

Looks like tour has a decent looking glove out as well. Anyone know the name of those?

[Swiss17 0]

they have more than one glove? picture of the one your thinking of?

[cxo 0]

You're right, it's just one design in a few colors. I'm talking about the ones pictured on the table with the new Q skates on page 1. It still looks pretty sleek though.

the new evo (i think) glove

[nyhockeyplaya22 0]

any1 know of the exact release date for these skates?

[tour17 0]

The 2008 Cobalt Series will be available late Dec. Cobalt Q, Cobalt 9.9 and 8.8 The Cobalt Q is the skate most people are talking about in this thread.

We are using Labeda's new Dynasty II wheel on the Q. Looks similar to the Genesis, but not the same wheel. Has a new core design. We tested this wheel for several months. Have received nothing but good comments. Extremely fast with great grip.

Cobalt Q retail--$450 to $480.

Our new web site will open soon, once we do there will be a contest to give a pair of the Q's away. The new site should be up in a couple weeks

Concerning the EVA glove line, there are 3 models. Will post some photos of the gloves as well. We are currently shipping this new line of gloves. The EVO-Pro is the top of the line, slightly narrower than previous Tour gloves, has a new grip as well.

Chad Seibel will post some photos soon.

Hope this answers some of the questions.

Will the top end glove be in other sizes besides 14.5? That is really annoying.

[bruins4777 1]

Not totally on topic, but will the new website offer info about new goalie pads?

Ya got them in a 13'. There too tight fitting for my liking tho.
