Because of its more flexible characteristics it is generally suited to lighter skaters or skating applications where peak forces are less. The 527 will give you confidence in your skating strokes by gently steering into the push for you, allowing a slightly more passive type of technique. The steering and control gains of this blade are accompanied by a spritely and light feel on the feet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"text-lg leading-relaxed\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Comprison\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe newest addition to our blade line-up is the M-style, created by merging the best of the past with modern ideas and developments. This blade will accomomdate heavier and more powerful skaters, with outstanding stability and pressure needed to reach higher speeds with confidence. The M-style has the unique ability to be able to steer mid-push, allowing the skater to be more responsible in challenging conditions. Feeling is delivered in a way that encourages the skater to push the limits. This blade likes to be skated hard and will reward you for it!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOur blades feature oversized bridges that add an impressive centimeter to the length of the bridge, significantly increasing the flex. This additional flex enhances both steering and stability compared to the standard edition, subtly transforming the character of your blades. The oversized bridges provide greater maneuverability and control, allowing skaters to navigate the ice with increased confidence and precision. Experience the improved performance and nuanced handling that comes with our oversized bridges.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"leading-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Skate-Tec","offers":[{"title":"15\"","offer_id":51260038447400,"sku":"STLB","price":115000.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false},{"title":"15.5\"","offer_id":51260038480168,"sku":"STLB","price":115000.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false},{"title":"16”","offer_id":51260038512936,"sku":"STLB","price":115000.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false},{"title":"16.5”","offer_id":51260038545704,"sku":"STLB","price":115000.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false},{"title":"17”","offer_id":51260038578472,"sku":"STLB","price":115000.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false},{"title":"17.5”","offer_id":51260038611240,"sku":"STLB","price":115000.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false},{"title":"18”","offer_id":51260038644008,"sku":"STLB","price":115000.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0936\/5599\/0568\/files\/IMG_1580.jpg?v=1765604215","url":"https:\/\/www.rectoskates.com\/products\/skate-tec-527-longtrack-blades-made-in-netherlands","provider":"Recto Business","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
