Customize Your Runners
With QuikBlade, you can easily customize your runners to suit your skating style and the ice conditions.
Vary Your Runner’s Rocker
Rocker refers to the side profile curvature of the runner, and typically ranges from 7 to 13 feet.
| Optimize Your Speed: | The larger the radius of the runner, the faster you go. Blow past the defence with a 13’ rocker radius for the ultimate in speed. | |
| Maximize Your Control: | Runners with smaller radii give you more agility for tighter turns and maximum acceleration. Control the game with a 9’ rocker radius. | |
| Improve Your Balance: | Get the ultimate speed and control. Choose an 11’ rocker radius for the best of both worlds. |
Vary Your Runner’s Hollow
Hollow is the profile of the actual grind of the edge. It is a diameter, typically measured in fractions of an inch. Optimize the hollow to adjust your performance on different types of ice.
|
Soft ice: |
Go for a 5/8” hollow. (If you’re under 180 lbs, you might prefer the 1/2” hollow) | |
| Hard ice: | Go for a 3/8” hollow. | |
| In between: | Go for a 1/2” hollow. |
Everyone is different. QuikBlade allows you to quickly and easily experiment with these variables and determine the runner configuration that works best for you.
