Kyle Friedman 9 Report post Posted July 14, 2013 If vapors fit your foot well, I would wait for the apxr2 skates to come out and get some apxr skates on clearence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wicked3Aussie 68 Report post Posted July 14, 2013 Haven't tried the Bauers but own the current model RPD's and they're rockets compared with anything i've ever used.The acceleration and increased agility from the all 80mm mg chassis is amazing, i'll never go back to anything HILO.But either way they're both new skates and i'm sure you'll be happy with either purchase. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vet88 673 Report post Posted July 15, 2013 Depends what size his foot is, if he is a common size somewhere between an 8 and a 10 then he may not find any apxr's on clearance. $ for $, I think the ca9, RPD or max are significantly better the the xr5. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BraydoChinga 1 Report post Posted July 15, 2013 I currently have xr1s and i just wanted an upgrade and yeah Id like to try the all 80mm wickedaussie and almost everyone I know has apxrs, one of the younger blokes has alkais and says they are the best ever Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wicked3Aussie 68 Report post Posted July 15, 2013 I agree with Vet88, Bauer no question has the best boot tech right now but for the price they retail for I can't justify their gear.Either way BraydoChinga goodluck and hope you enjoy whatever skates you end up with! :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
