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 2X Pro

# Bauer Vapor 2X Pro Hockey Skates


### Product Description: 


The Bauer Vapor 2X Pro hockey skates are designed for elite players who prioritize performance and top-of-the-line features. Known for their lightweight build and focus on agility, these skates are ideal for players who value quickness and responsiveness on the ice. The 2X Pro incorporates Bauer's DYNAFLEX system, which includes an asymmetrical toe cap for a low-volume fit and enhanced mobility. Additionally, the skates boast features like a carbon composite quarter package for stiffness and energy transfer, a memory foam liner for comfort, and a vented outsole for breathability. As part of Bauer's Vapor line, the 2X Pro represents the brand's continued commitment to innovation and responsiveness in the fast-paced world of hockey.


### Perfect skates for:

Elite players who skate 4-5+ times per week


### Key features include:

- Enhanced fit with the low-profile design.

- Ultimate performance with the DYNAFLEX System.

- Improved comfort and fit with Aero Foam Pro padding.

- Premium durability with the Lock-Fit Pro liner.

- Feel locked in with the Tuuk Lightspeed EDGE holder.

- Long-lasting edge life with the Tuuk LS5 runner.


### Top competitors comparison: the [CCM Ribcor 80K](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/ccm/ribcor-80k/l12074) and the [True Pro Custom](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/true/pro-custom-4/l10558)

The CCM Ribcor 80K skates offer a similar level of performance and customization. They feature a lightweight, carbon composite boot for maximum responsiveness and a customizable fit with heat moldable technology. The Ribcor 80K skates also utilize the SpeedBlade XS holder system for quick blade changes. On the other hand, the True Pro Custom Hockey Skates are known for their customizability, as the name suggests. They offer a fully customizable fit and are handcrafted to the player's exact specifications. The True Pro Custom skates also feature a lightweight construction and premium materials for optimal performance. 


### Progression:

Key improvements in the 2X Pro over the 1X Pro:




* **Weight:** The 2X Pro is lighter than the 1X Pro due to advancements in materials and construction.
* **Performance:** The 2X Pro features improvements in energy transfer, edge control, and overall responsiveness compared to the 1X Pro.

 
It's important to note that while the 2X Pro is generally considered an upgrade over the 1X Pro, the specific choice between the two models will depend on individual player preferences, budget, and skating style.


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

PROS:



* These skates are awesome. The DynaFlex system with the asymmetrical toe cap provides a super close, locked-in fit. The boot is stiff and responsive, perfect for powerful skating.
* The Lock Fit Pro liner is the most comfortable liner I've ever experienced in a skate. It feels like a custom mold of my foot, and there were no major break-in issues.
* The holder provides a solid platform for the blade, and the steel offers some of the best edge control I've ever had. Turns feel effortless.

CONS:



* These skates are definitely on the expensive side.
* With their high-performance focus, these skates are very stiff.  While that's great for powerful strides, it might be too much for beginner players. A stiffer boot can be harder to control and maneuver.
* I had a hard time finding these skates in my size.


### Expert notes (by [Austin MacDonald](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/dstars79))

One of the things that makes the 2X Pro great is how light it feels. It's an extremely lightweight boot that is also really durable. It's a predecessor to what you see in the HyperLite these days. Very durable but also very light. So the 2X Pro is perfect for agility, cutting back and forth across the ice. And, it still has good power. At the professional level, some NHL players use the 2X Pro and have no issues. It’s a skate that will last you. Mine are still fine to play in even after years. It's a skate built to last.

Durability: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Supreme M3

# Bauer Supreme M3 Hockey Skates


### Product Description: 


The Bauer Supreme M3 hockey skates are designed for recreational and competitive players. They feature a Digi Comp quarter for a lightweight and supportive fit, a memory foam ankle pad for comfort, and a traditional flex profile for a good range of motion. The liner is made of a moisture-wicking material to help keep feet dry, and the LS Edge holder makes it easy to swap out blades. The Bauer Supreme M3 skates are a good mid-range option for players who are looking for a skate that offers good value for the money.

The Bauer Supreme line has been around for many years, and the M3 is a continuation of the brand's commitment to providing high-quality skates for players of all levels. The Supreme line is known for its focus on comfort and performance, and the M3 skates live up to that reputation.


### Perfect skates for:

The weekly player who prioritzes comfort at an excellent value. 


### Key features include:



* Digi Comp quarter enhances comfort and reduces weight
* Traditional facing assists players in flexing over their toes while providing wrap on top of the foot for sustained comfort.
* 40oz Felt Tongue provides players with increased comfort and ease of flex.
* LS Edge holder offers reliability and enables quick changes of steel when needed.
* Symmetrical toe cap enhances comfort by providing slightly more room at the front of the boot.


### Top competitors comparison: the [CCM Jetspeed FT470](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/ccm/jetspeed-ft470/l59164) and the [True TF7](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/hockey/skates/true/tf7/l164202)

All three skates target developing players seeking a balance of affordability, comfort, and performance. The CCM JetSpeed FT470 leans towards a stiffer flex profile for more powerful strides, while the True TF7 emphasizes a slightly lighter weight construction and a focus on heat-moldability for a more customized fit. Ultimately, the best choice depends on whether the player prioritizes power (CCM) or a comfortable, personalized fit (True).


### Progression:

Bauer prioritizes introducing major advancements in their top-of-the-line models (like the Vapor 3X Pro or Supreme 3X Pro) and does not explicitly advertise minor refinements made to mid-range skates like the M3.

Upgrades to the M3 line include subtle tweaks to materials, padding, and specific components including the upgraded 40oz felt tongue with a mesh metatarsal guard for protection and comfort. Bauer also included a sublimated hydrophobic microfiber liner with memory foam padding and the quick release trigger allowing players to remove damaged or broken steel in seconds. 


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

PROS:



* These skates are good for recreational players who are looking for a good balance of performance and comfort without going overboard on the price. They're much lighter than expected for the price point, making for easier strides. 
* The M3 skates come with a slightly heat-moldable liner that allows for a more customized fit around the ankle. This helped eliminate some pressure points I had with my old skates. They also provide decent arch support.
* These skates didn't require a long break-in period like some higher-end models. The memory foam ankle padding feels great and there were no real comfort issues out of the box. 

CONS:



* The M3 skates don't offer the same level of stiffness as some top-of-the-line models. This might be a drawback for players who are looking for maximum power transfer in their strides.
* The fit of these skates leans a bit on the narrow side. If you have wider feet, you might want to consider tanother model with a wider width option.
* Only complaint is the steel sucks. I bought some pulse runners and they are great, but if I would have known that I had to throw another $110 for decent steel, I would have just bought the m4s.


### Expert notes (by [Austin MacDonald](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/dstars79)) 

The M3 is a low to mid-level skate. It's a bit more expensive than the introductory ones, but it has the quick-release steel changer. So players can use the M3 for a lot longer than if there was no way to change the blades efficiently. It has a lot of comfort features like a thick padded tongue. It's so focused on comfort and this keeps players happier. Because when you're starting out, comfort is a bit more important. The reason I've seen people STOP using this skate is just because of the durability aspect. As people become more comfortable with their game or their skating, and they start doing different cuts and using their skates differently, the wear will happen in different areas and degrade this skate faster than higher-end models.

Vapor X3.5

Vapor X500

### Product Description 

Bauer X500 skates are in the middle of the pack of the Vapor line. Vapor skates offer unique builds for players who are looking for speed and balance at a competitive price. The Trueform Tech PU boot with X-Rib pattern is heat moldable and super stiff for increased support and protection. The one-piece injected heel and ankle core offer increased stability and durability, while the interior Hydrophobic Microfiber liner wicks away moisture and keeps the foot dry. Anaform foam padding protects the ankle while a two-piece felt tongue with injected high-density foam offers protection from impacts and lace bite. Tuuk LightSpeed Edge Holders and Tuuk LightSpeed Super Stainless Steel runners are lightweight and offer a tool-less removal system for quick blade changes. 

### Expert Notes

The main thing regarding the X500 is the lack of stiffness throughout the boot relative to some of the higher end vapor models. For someone skating 1-2 times per week, they work quite well and are priced on the lower end of the spectrum, which is ideal if you’re on a budget. The low level of boot stiffness does allow for greater comfort initially, and they are super easy to break in and get used to. The entire line of Vapor skates has always been a good looking line of skates as well, as they all tend to stick to the all-black boot with red detailing.

Vapor X60

### Product Description 

Built for quickness and speed the Vapor X60s are constructed with Ultra-Light tech mesh in a thermoformed Carbon Composite X-rib pattern, while new lightweight Dual Density+ foam provides heat-moldable support and comfort. The Hydra Max liner is moisture-wicking and abrasion-resistant to keep feet cool and dry without slippage or wear and tear near the ankle. The lightweight Bauer Tuuk holds the LS2 Stainless Steel blade and allows for maximum transfer of energy for powerful, quick strides. The flexible Form Fit 2 molded tongue helps to protect against lace-bite and includes a high-density metatarsal guard for added protection.


### Expert Notes

If you are familiar with Bauer’s Vapor line of skates, or if you have worn any Vapor skates before, you will be happy with the Vapor X60’s. What’s even better nowadays is the price of X60 skates; since they’re no longer a brand new model of skates, you can find exceptional deals on lightly used (and new) X60s. Many players who have worn them in the past will tell you that these wheels perform just as well as newer Vapor models such as the 1X. The liner and fit of the X60 boot is very comfortable, and will fit best with a more narrow foot and ankle structure compared to a wider foot.
