Bauer Hockey is finally bringing the popular technology used in one of its pro spec flex profiles to the retail market with the release of the Bauer Nexus 1000 stick. The Nexus 1000 stick is described by Bauer as being “ideal for the player looking for a balanced feel with a quick, effortless release with natural power.”
The first thing you’ll notice on the ice with the Nexus 1000 stick is the Nexus Tru-Mid Flex profile. This flex profile is described as having a powerful natural release, with a softer handle and hosel and a stiff section mid-shaft. Bauer’s .520 power taper will give the Nexus 1000 stick a boost in torsional stiffness, allowing increased load on the shot and minimal twisting of the blade. Essentially what you’re getting is a stick that will flex more like what you may be used to with a wooden stick, all the while being accurate and precise on shots and passes.
The power core 3 blade which you’ll find in the Bauer Nexus 1000 is similar to what you will find in the Total One or APX stick. The foams inside the blade will maximize puck feel, absorb energy on hard passes, and help improve balance and stability.
To increase durability, Bauer is continuing with their eLASTechnology, also found on the APX stick. Bauer describes this feature as a “proprietary resin system with carbon nanotube reinforcements increasing durability by reducing the spread of micro-fractures caused by slashes and puck impacts, extending a stick’s ‘pop-life’ to keep it feeling newer, longer.” While they aren’t the first manufacturer to use carbon nanotube technology (Stealth CNT), they’re doing it in an efficient and effective way which will benefit players by increasing longevity of their Nexus 1000 stick.
The Bauer Nexus 1000 stick will be available in two finishes – griptac and matte. Both options will feature the same black and dark grey color scheme, which looks awesome. You can also expect to see retailers carry stock of all of your favorite Bauer flexes and blade patterns on the Nexus 1000, however, the new P08 (Ovechkin) pattern will be a custom make-to-order option.
Check out the new Bauer Nexus 1000 stick below and let us know what you think! Is there any chance you’ll swap out your go-to twig for the new Nexus 1000?
when its gonna be in store
the 13 of april
All equipment used by both of my kids is Bauer, give us good deal on 2 sticks
When is the exact dare at wich the stick will be released.
I am sorry I ment date.
when is the release date… can’t wait for it
The release date of the nexus 1000 stick is June 15 2012. This release date comes directly from Bauer’s twitter.
Is it in junior?
anyone
I’m sure it will be available in intermediate and junior. I don’t see why it would only be available in senior.
how much will it be
I’m assuming it should be around same as APX. So $299.99 in Canada for a senior twig.
i got to use this stick in a bauer turnament and i love it! the feel of it is amazing and the true mid-kick really gets those shots off alot quicker easier. i cant wait for this stick to come out in june!!
is there gonna be a nxg stick?
no i do not think so
Yes sir.
How much money will it be in the united states?
No
how much will a intermedeit stick be in canada
im going to get this stick
will you be able to customize this stick on “mybauer” like the apx and totalone? or will this stick just be retail?
Confirmed on Bauer’s twitter account that the nexus stick will be available for customization on my Bauer in June after the stick launches. IIRC the tweet date was April 16.
awesome! hope red will be an option!
The colour options will be interesting in regards to which part of the stick will have the option to change colour. I personally like the colour combo in the pic but would want this with the corner tactile grip!
Will this stick be more like the TotalOne or APX?
neither
when will it be released?Its may now and it still isnt here.Is it actually supposed to bee released in june?
Yes, it will be released June 15th.
will the price of the bauer vapor apx drop once the nexus is released?
No it will not
and when will the new bauer helmet come out?It was also supposed to come out in april but it still here yet.
Keep your eyes open for this one. The official release date is May 15th but Bauer had shipment problems, so initially there will be limited quantities and sizes.
i meant it still isnt here yet
does anyone know if the grip is more like the total one or apx?
there already is an NXG stick i have seen it in person with my bauer rep
what is the NXG?
will there be an nxg stick
Solely based on the bauer catalogue the grip will be more like the apx as it looks as tho the retail standard nexus will not have the tactile corner grip like the total one. But you can get the tactile on the nexus once it is available on the my Bauer website I assume.
……An NXG stick already?! any pics of it yet?
When it’s gonna be come out??
June 15th
im getting it. the price
is 239
anything on what the flex might start at for senior sticks?
eg. 75 85 75?
makos better
the flex will be 77 87 102
mako sucks nexus 1000 is gunna be the best stick in the market and who ever thinks theres gunna be a nxg stick ur wrong just nxg skates and the nexus 1000 comes out june 15
yep i agree nexus is gonna be a pretty sick twig.
I too also previously heard there will be no NXG stick.
It will come out on MyBauer in October. I emailed bauer asking about it and they emailed back saying that.
wow thats so stupid they should just put it on mybauer a few weeks after it comes out
October! wonder why there’s such a gap between retail release and myBauer release.
The nxg stick is coming out in october. The nxg stick looks just like the total now and feels the same. I have used the nexus, total nxg, and apx. i like the nexus most then apx, total isnt for me. Nexus will come in the full range or curves and flexes just like every other stick. Also with a grip like the rs and a matte finish and will be priced at 239.
okay there is no nxg stick
just ordered 6 Nexus twigs 🙂
you got to be kidding the nexus stick is on mybauer on june 23 but the nxg will be october
why do tou need six
this stick is the world best
Adam,
You are right! The nxg stick pix are up now. One question….I also contacted Bauer and they said the nexus1000 stick will be available on myBauer in the fall….. Just curious as to where u heard that the nexus will be on myBauer on June 23? Thanks.
I’m so confused will the customization be available in the fall or when the stick comes out because I really want to get it custom.
In October jack.
damn I really need a new stick now!
well just wait for a couple days just get the regular one june15 instead of customized
nexus on mybauer is oct im just getting the nexus now then getting it custom in oct
