New Vapor Skates

[dowdz332 0]

I was looking to purchase a pair of the Bauer Vapor X 6.0s on sale but haven't been able to find my size.

So I started looking at the new offerings from the Bauer Vapor line but am pretty confused.

What is the difference between the Vapor x 6.0s and the new X60s?

I'm looking for a relatively high end skate without the cost. Trying to spend no more than $300 I think...

So what's the difference? Other suggestions to look at?

Thanks!

Bauer can pretty confusing at times.

The x60 skates used to be high end 2-3 years. Nowadays (if you're talking about this model), the x60 are low end skates (x100-x90-x80-x70-x60). The x6.0 (the line before x100-x90...)is mid high end, and a much better skate. Always try to buy last years models on liquidation, changes are minimal compared to the new line, and you will pay much less than the original price.

right so I was looking for the x6.0, the mid high end.

So what is this years equivalent to that because I haven't seen any x 6.0 just x60.

Anybody know of any places that still have last years x6.0 on sale? I haven't been able to find my size...

I believe the x6.0 falls between the x80 and x90. The x60 would be equivalent to the x3.0

The x90 is the 7.0/x60 (2009) so I'd say that the x80 would be your best bet.

The x:60 (notice the :) used to be high-end. Just for the record; Bauer is really confusing...
