Gunnar Stahl 30 0 Report post Posted April 26, 2009 they are about the same price. What are the major differences? If you were buying a pair, which would you buy? ive heard the X40 is similar to the XXV with some improvements. Why not get the XXXX instead of the X40s? did bauer/the retailers screw up by dropping the price of the XXXX to 350, or are the X40s just overpriced.btw, im just curious, im not planning on getting either.thankso and a bonus question, whats the differences between the X50s and XXXX?edit: i kind of read through the x60 thread so the bonus question has been partially answered Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tooomey 1 Report post Posted April 26, 2009 X40 is not in the same class as vapor xxxx. X60 is basicly a vapor xxxx with new more padded tongue, new liner and new graphics. Get the xxxx, if you look around you might able to get them for 300.00 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
starsfan71 9 Report post Posted April 26, 2009 The Vapor XXXX is in a leauge of it's own compared to the X40. I don't really agree with Toomey about it being almost the same as the x60 but it is still a top of the line skate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
t1tan 19 Report post Posted April 27, 2009 Search around it's been said several times that the X:50 is pretty much the closest to the XXXX in the new series. Just forget the numbering and look at the specs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
