steve66 45 Report post Posted June 2, 2012 The new Bauer skate is called the XR Premier, using Revision Variant wheels.All black, with black mag Hi-Lo Chassis, similar to the APXr in terms of aesthtics. Looks like a black pro felt toungue. The main outer of the skate is not smooth like the APX/APXr skates, seems to be a much rougher texture, I presume for durability.

wetwilly17 6 Report post Posted June 4, 2012 What durometer is the revisions? My guess is that they needed a softer wheel for the lighter/younger players than the 76a equivalent addictions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MissionBauerTom 5 Report post Posted June 5, 2012 The Inhaler looks sick! Im interestested in why they chose the revisions over the addictions they have used in the past 2 years.Kyle,Being that the XR Premier is limited we wanted it to have a wheel that was high end and unique to other products on the market. The Revision Vanquish is a high end urethane with Torus technology and competes with the rest of the pack.WetWilly17,The Revision Wheel is a 74A.....Thanks applesauce9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kovalchuk71 212 Report post Posted June 13, 2012 Sounds like its going to be APXR > XR Premier > XR5 > XR3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CSW1618 5 Report post Posted June 14, 2012 Sounds like its going to be APXR > XR Premier > XR5 > XR3 That is correct. The APXR is the high end Bauer skate then will come the XR Premier skate.. XR5 and so on Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
