The all-new Vapor Hyperlite 2 skate line is built for ultimate quickness and agility. Vapor skates feature stiffer and more supportive material in the upper portion of the skate, and increased flex and responsiveness in the lower part of the boot. A couple of big upgrades Bauer put into the X4 include the Pro Stock tongue, CURV Composite and LS Pulse Stainless Steel.

New Upgrades: Curv Composite, Pro Stock Tongue, LS Pulse SS Runner.

Runner: LS Pulse SS 

Holder: Lightspeed Edge

A big upgrade from the previous Vapor 3X skate model is the 3D lasted Curv Composite Quarter package. This provides elite level support while keeping the skate very lightweight. The Junior X4 Skate has a LS Balance runner with a 13ft radius and Motion-Flex to make it easier for kids to bend their knees and learn the skating stride.

The 40oz Pro Stock tongue has a comfort lining that offers a balance of performance, support and great feel. Inside the boot you’ll find a sublimated liner with comfort edge on the ankles and Bauer’s Form-Fit footbed. The liner provides good support, a soft feel, and moisture-management properties to help wick sweat away and keep your foot secured in the boot. The footbed is lined with memory foam underneath for true comfort as soon as you step into the skate.

The Vapor X4 skate provides competitive players, who are on the ice a couple times a week, with a great option for a skate with great performance features and some high-end technology to make this model a terrific value.
