Hi, can you tell me if they kept the tongue with abrasion resistant material on the LE? One more thing, either the pics are not the best quality or the skates don't look that good, in my opinion.

[furlanitalia 1]

Pics are bad quality. I held them last week and they look pretty good.

What about it?

Is it the same as the regular x:60 with the abrasion resistant material? As for the LS fusion, all the other sites say there is the regular ls2 steel, they dropped the fusion. furlanitalia do you know anything about the fusion, anything special? and why did they dropp it? I don't like the fact they look like a roller skate converted to ice, other than that they do look mean

They don't look like a roller skate converted to ice. It is the same color as the RX:60, but it hardly looks like a convert. Hell, if you ask me, this looks more like an Ice Skate than the regular X:60 thanks to the all black.

The X:60 and X:60LE are the EXACT same skate. just different colors. Ask any Bauer Rep...they will tell you the same.

[furlanitalia 1]

There was no LS Fusion on the blade. Don't know anything else about it.

[DarkStar50 680]

LS Fusion will be released with TotalONE. Consider it another added feature to TotalONE that did not have to be on the X:60LE to drive sales of the LE.

[furlanitalia 1]

But what are the benefits of it?

They're kind of bastards to announce the LE with fusion steel and think "we are going to sell them no matter what, so let's just give them regular steel for now". It's a limited/special edition, they should have something special, not just a new paint job. Like in the case of Easton, SE16 white with the rubber on the toe cap and now the S17 Black with nano glide.

" We are very proud to present the limited edition Bauer Vapor X:60 in a whole new black color scheme that we just copied from the roller skate and nothing else new, but there is the possibilty that we didn't use on these ones the same tongue with the abrasion resistant material like the stock X:60 and used a gloss black material instead (still waiting for confirmation Darkstar) "

Really not cool, Bauer, I expected more from you.

[furlanitalia 1]

I'm not sure what the big deal is. They're the same price are they not? It's just a different colour scheme, they aren't trying to sell any new gimmick or pull the wool over any ones eyes. It's just trying to appeal to a broader range of customers. Same as RBK with both white and black 9k's, is it not?

IIRC, the S17 Black will not ship with the Nano-Glide steel. It will likley appear on their next flagship (S19?).

The white RBK come with pro felt tongue. I just feel that a limited/special/whatever edition should have something more/different than the stock skate, other than the color. I want a little gimmick now and then especially if it's a special edition.

Icewarehouse still advertise the black S17 as having the nano glide, hockeymonkey... not so much :P, and speaking of monkey I don't know if you've seen this already but they got new stuff... http://www.hockeymonkey.com/bauer-holiday-2009.html

The x40 stick in black looks really nice:

That is a stock feature, nothing "special" there. The Easton blade is being held back after they realized it wasn't ready to go to market. At least Easton got that right from a marketing perspective. Your sense of entitlement, that Bauer owes you something is ridiculous. They have done more research than you can imagine in order to bring the product to market at the right time.

Come on, I'm not saying Bauer owes ME anything, just that I wanted something different other than the color on the LE, that's it.

Yeah, like read MSH.

LOL I was laughing my ass off when I was up in St-Jerome and we walked into the designers' offices and one of them was on MSH.

Why couldn't it be the guy who keeps deciding not to make P12 a full retail pattern???????

[DarkStar50 680]

Hey I've been pleading directly with Product Manager for OPS for P02 for North American retail. Get in line! JK, of course. Describe the love of your life, the lovely P12.

[raygunpk 0]

What's their reason against making it retail?

[DarkStar50 680]

Same as always: demand. Some particular patterns may be MTO for Booking Only. That would satisfy me and others that are looking for particular patterns.

I just saw this on FB showing the LS Fusion runner. It was posted by Bauer.
