Supreme M5 Pro

# Bauer Supreme M5 Pro Hockey Skates]


### Product Description: 


The Bauer Supreme M5 Pro Ice Hockey Skates are designed for powerful skaters who play several times a week and look to maximize their explosiveness on the ice. They feature a 3D lasted Carbon Curv composite boot that is lightweight, supportive, and thermoformable for a custom fit. The boot is stiff in the lower portion to transfer power to your strides, while the traditional facing and tendon guard allow for maximum ankle flexion and extension. The skates also come with the "Choose Your Steel" option, allowing you to select the blade that best suits your playing style.

The Bauer Supreme line has a long history of catering to skaters who prioritize power and explosiveness. The M5 Pro continues this tradition by offering elite-level technology at a more affordable price point compared to Bauer's top-of-the-line skates.


### Perfect skates for:

elite players looking for high-end performance and comfort at a lower price than the Mach


### Key features include:



* A 3D Lasted Carbon Curv Composite quarter package
* Traditional facing which assists players in flexing over their toes
* Tendon guard enableing full extension of the stride, allowing you to reach your top speed.
* Classic Pro Felt Tongue, renowned for its comfort and performance
* Asymmetrical toe cap reduces space within the boot, enhancing responsiveness when moving your foot.


### Top competitors comparison: the [CCM Ribcor 78K](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/ccm/ribcor-78k/l62114) and the [True TF7](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/true/tf7/l164202)

The Bauer Supreme M5 Pro skates excel in power transfer and stability with their solid quarter package and Tuuk Lightspeed Edge holders. The CCM Ribcor 78K skates prioritize mobility and agility with their flexible quarter package and Ribcor Elite holder. The True TF7 skates prioritize comfort and personalization with True Hockey's custom-fit system and two-piece TrueForm composite quarter package. When choosing among these high-quality options, players should consider their playing style, foot shape, and any specific features that are important to them.


### Progression:

The Bauer Supreme M5 Pro hockey skate draws inspiration from the top-of-the-line Bauer Supreme 1X Pro. It incorporates some key design changes to fit within a more affordable price point and performance level in the Supreme line. 

The M5 Pro shares the 1X Pro's core focus on power skating with a stiff flex profile for powerful skaters. The key differences and upgrades between the M5 Pro compared to 1X Pro are: 



* **Boot Construction:** The M5 Pro utilizes a 3D Lasted Curv Composite Quarter Package, which is a refinement over the 1X Pro's Vaporposite+ composite. This results in a lighter weight or a slightly different flex profile for optimized energy transfer.
* **Holder**: The M5 Pro uses the TUuk Lightspeed Edge holder, offering similar security but lighter weight compared to the PowerFly holder used in the 1X Pro.
* **Liner:** The M5 Pro utilizes a moisture-wicking liner, an upgrade in comfort features compared to the 1X Pro.


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

PROS:



* These skates are a great for maximizing power on the ice. The 3D lasted Carbon Curv Composite boot is stiff and supportive, providing great energy transfer with each stride. I noticed a significant improvement in my skating speed after switching to the M5 Pro.
* I've struggled to find a well-fitting skate and considered going the custom route….but the wider toe box in Fit 1 of these fit me like a glove. The stiffness is perfect for me (a middle-age player going 3X a week). 
* The best part of this skate is the tongue, which has a blend of comfort and protection and a lot of ankle padding. 

CONS:



* The stiff carbon fiber boot can take some time to break in completely. My ankles were sore during the first few weeks of use.
* These skates are designed for powerful strides and require a good amount of leg strength. Beginners might find them too stiff and demanding.
* After only 6 skates the midfoot has already compressed leaving the skate with enough room to not have a secure fit anymore.


### Expert notes (by [Austin MacDonald](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/dstars79)) 

The M5 Pro is focused on giving a lot of power. Normally, you'd hear a Supreme or Bauer Pro model going for $900+. The M5 Pro is different than that. It has all the Pro features, but for a cheaper price—more of a mid-range level price. So the M5 Pro has all the same comfort features, durability, the ability to change your steel, and the traditional supreme anatomic fit. With the new Fit System mechanisms, the M5 Pro allows you to customize whether you want it wide, narrow, etc.

Vapor 3X

# Bauer Vapor 3X Hockey Skates


### Product Description: 


The Bauer Vapor 3X hockey skates are designed for performance-oriented players who skate multiple times a week and seek a balance of comfort, performance, and value. They are a good option for players who have outgrown their beginner skates and are looking for a skate that can help them improve their game. The 3X features a lightweight composite boot that provides good support and thermoforming capabilities for a custom fit. It also has a 40-ounce felt tongue for comfort and protection, and a Lightspeed Edge holder with LS+ stainless steel blades for durability and performance. The Vapor line has been a staple in Bauer's lineup for many years, known for its focus on quickness, agility, and responsiveness. The 3X sits as a more affordable option within the Vapor line, offering many of the same features and technologies as the higher-end models at a more accessible price point.


### Perfect skates for:

Players who skate 2-3+ times per week  


### Key features include:



* Significant weight reduction of approximately 6.5%
* Better overall fit with the asymmetrical toe cap.
* Comfort and protection with the 40oz Felt tongue featuring a comfort lining.

### Top competitors comparison: the [CCM Super Tacks AS3 Pro](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/ccm/super-tacks-as3/pro-stock/l251934) and the [True TF9](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/ccm/super-tacks-as3/pro-stock/l251934) 

The CCM Super Tacks AS3 Pro skates offer competition with a focus on power and stability. These skates feature a one-piece MonoFrame boot for enhanced energy transfer and responsiveness, as well as CCM's SpeedBlade XS holder for quick blade changes. On the other hand, the True TF9 Hockey Skates prioritize a customized fit and comfort, utilizing True Hockey's custom-fit system based on individual foot measurements. The TF9 skates provide a tailored fit for optimal performance and feature True's SHIFT holder for improved turning radius. Players can choose between the Super Tacks AS3 Pro and the TF9 based on their preferences for power, fit, and overall performance.


### Progression:

[Vapor 1X](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/bauer/vapor-1x-2/l1368)



* Speed Plate Technology
* LS4 Steel
* 37.5 Liner
* An updated version of the X-Rib Curv Composite Boot, which has been aluminized. 
* TUUK Lightspeed Edge Holder.

[Vapor 2X](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/bauer/vapor-2x-pro-3/l59547)



* New technologies in the Vapor 2X include an asymmetrical toe cap and quarter construction
* A new three-piece, 48-oz felt tongue includes an exposed injected metatarsal guard for added protection
* Tuuk Lightspeed EDGE holder for a locked-in feel
* Tuuk LS3 runner for long-lasting edge life.

[Vapor 3X](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/bauer/vapor-3x-3/l165936)



* Significant weight reduction of approximately 6.5% lighter
* Asymmetrical toe cap for better overall fit
* 40oz Felt tongue with comfort lining 
* Hydrophobic liner with great grip to secure the foot in place
* Full composite boot


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

PROS:



* These skates offer a significant jump in performance over entry-level skates. The Flex Composite boot provides a good balance of stiffness for powerful strides and some flex for maneuverability. They're perfect for skaters who want to improve their game without breaking the bank.
* The Vapor 3X fits true to size and feels comfortable right out of the box. The 40-ounce felt tongue with comfort lining offers good support and reduces pressure points. The asymmetrical toe cap also seems to help with a snug fit around the toes.
* Skate has a good amount of higher end features and has good interior support. We upgraded the foot beds to super feet since the include ones are typical unsupported foam. All in all a very good middle of the line skate for not a lot of money.

CONS:



* Skilled players who are used to top-of-the-line skates might find the Vapor 3X a bit too flexible. The flex profile is geared towards balance and maneuverability, which can sacrifice some energy transfer for powerful strides. 
* Blade holder cracked after a deflection during a game, and the material of the boot is already falling apart. Had these for about 4 months before having to buy Hyperlites because of the poor construction.
* The Vapor 3X doesn't offer any heat-molding capabilities and while the liner is comfortable…I have some wicked pressure points and am disappointed with the customization options.


### Expert notes (by [Austin MacDonald](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/dstars79)) 

The 3X was released close to the HyperLite, which was a revolutionary skate at the time, so it kinda got lost in the mix. It's still a good skate and very similar to the 3X Pro model but without as much comfort. It's a mid- to upper-level fully composite skate with a felt tongue and a hydrophobic liner with a great grip.

Supreme M1

Tacks AS-570

# CCM Tacks AS-570 Hockey Skates


### Product Description: 


The CCM Tacks AS-570 hockey skates are designed for powerful strides and a close fit, making them ideal for competitive players of all ages. They bring the technology of CCM's high-end Tacks skates to a more affordable price point. The skates feature a one-piece boot for better energy transfer and a closer fit, along with a 150 stiffness flex rating for powerful pushes. The replaceable asymmetrical tongue and XS steel runners allow for customization to individual preferences. Continuing the legacy of the Tacks line, the AS-570 skates aim to provide power and performance for today's hockey players.


### Perfect skates for:

A player looking for a balance between some of the high-end tech but at a lower cost.


### Key features include:



* Direct energy transfer with the one Piece Boot quarter package 
* HD Microfiber liner 
* Interchangeable, custom fitting tongue
* Molded CCM Ortholite footbed with recycled EVA foam
* CCM XS Stainless Steel runner


### Top competitors comparison: the [Bauer Supreme M5 Pro](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/bauer/supreme-m5-pro-2/l177540) and the [True TF7](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/true/tf7/l164202)

All three skates target mid-range players seeking a balance of affordability and performance. The Bauer Supreme M5 Pro leans towards a stiffer flex profile for powerful strides, similar to the AS-570. However, the True TF7 stands out for its focus on a lightweight construction and a more customizable fit through heat-moldable materials. Ultimately, the best choice depends on whether the player prioritizes a stiffer skate for maximum power (CCM and Bauer) or a lighter weight skate with a more personalized fit (True).


### Progression:

CCM typically prioritizes introducing major advancements in their top-of-the-line models like the JetSpeed or RibCor lines. Updates to mid-range skates like the AS-570 are more subtle and not explicitly advertised. The AS-570 offers some significant upgrades over the entry-level models including a one-piece quarter package boot, interchangeable tongues, and the speedblade XS Holder improving the spring-lock system that makes swapping out blades more efficient. 


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

PROS:



* The one-piece boot provides a good amount of stiffness for powerful strides, which is unusual to find at this price range. They're not top-of-the-line, but they're a great option for players looking for an upgrade from recreational skates.
* The liner is decent quality and wicks away moisture well. These skates are also fairly lightweight, which makes for easier strides and better maneuverability on the ice.
*  The AS-570 is a great fit for someone who has flat feet. One of my friends suggested adding a pair of superfeet skates to them and they felt great!

CONS



* More advanced players might find the boot to be a little too soft for their needs. These skates don’t offer the same level of stiffness and performance as some top-of-the-line models.
* The one-piece boot does require a break-in period, and I found it to be a bit uncomfortable at first. There are some serious initial pressure points and blisters happening on my feet.
* Baked these skates and am currently on my 4th time getting these punched. There is no room on the inner side of these skates for the bones in an average persons foot near the ankle. 


### Expert notes (by [Austin MacDonald](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/dstars79)) 

The AS-570 is in a good state. You have the ankle-locking memory foam and it offers a lot of power and comfort. This skate might not be as durable as other comparable models. It doesn't have the same high-end materials as the 5 Pro, but the AS-570 has a really good anatomical fit. It's a great skate if you don't really need the pro-level durability because you might only be skating on the weekends, but you still want something decent. 

Durability: ⭐⭐⭐

Power: ⭐⭐⭐
