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
