StayBent by EHS XC Weapon Firm

Built for powerful skaters who demand rigidity, grip, and control, the StayBent XC Firm is the stiffer counterpart to the XC Flex. Engineered with a different construction in the pillars, this skate is designed to handle higher forces.

Where the XC Flex offers controlled flex in the lips, the XC Firm prioritizes stiffness throughout—especially in the lower section—for those who need more support, better hold of bent in corners, and improved power hold at high speeds.

This makes it the ideal choice for heavier or more physically powerful skaters who benefit from a skate that won’t flex under pressure.

Just like the XC Flex, the wider pillars allows for optimal power transfer across the full blade length. Combined with full PM (64Hrc) or Bi-metal/PM (66Hrc) runners and Precision Bend Technology, the XC Firm ensures a consistent and reliable pre-Bend with superior edge retention and stability in technical sections.

Handcrafted by Hagen Techniek in the Netherlands, the upgraded aluminum PRO cups on the XC Firm are lighter and stiffer, reducing overall weight while increasing torsional stiffness. The result?

A more connected and stable feel on the ice—perfect for high-intensity training and competition.

If you’re looking for a blade that can handle your strength and deliver maximum hold, precision, and power, the XC Firm is your ultimate blade..
