While Mission will be releasing a whole new line of products later this year, Bauer will only be releasing one new roller hockey skate – the Bauer Vapor XR Premier.
The biggest difference you will notice about the Bauer XR Premier roller hockey skates is that they are using Revision Variant Gold wheels instead of the Labeda wheels which are typically found on Bauer roller hockey skates. Moving on, you can also see that Bauer has used the magnesium hi-lo chassis on these skates. This means the Bauer Vapor XR Premier skates will fall into the Bauer line with a price point between the XR5 skates and the APXR skates – most likely at $649.99.
The blacked out look on the Bauer Vapor XR Premier roller hockey skates is much different than that of the new Mission Inhaler AC1 skates. While white suits the Mission line well, the dark and blacked out look on the XR Premier skates looks just as nice.
The Bauer XR Premier skates are scheduled to be released on September 15th.
Take a look at the photo below of the new Bauer Vapor XR Premier roller hockey skates and let us know your thoughts!
I feel like this whole skate line is boring. Without the Bauer vapor graphic , it’s taken away from that look. THIS IS MY OPINION. I absolutely love Bauer. I’m skating RX:25 skates but I feel like this new line lacks, that sharpness or flash you usually find in RH Skates now a days.
Thank you hockey gods for making someone make a black hockey boot again!
This model fills the 400 bucks gap between XR5 and APXR. Kinda remember me the RX-60, the shape, price, colour. More orange would be nice.
