StayBent by EHS XA

The StayBent by EHS XA is one of EHS’s newest flagship models, built for skaters looking for the ultimate in speed. It offers additional hold in the corners while maintaining excellent gliding and turning characteristics.

XA is designed for skaters seeking maximum speed. It features upgraded aluminum from the Netherlands PM/Bi-metal steel runners for superior hold in corners and smooth turning. Precision Bend Technology ensures a perfect radius. Crafted by Hagen Techniek in the Netherlands, the aluminum cups on XA Firm are lighter and stronger, providing increased stiffness and reduced weight.

Available in two distinct setups:

StayBent by EHS XA

XA (Standard / Flex)

High-performance blade with hardened runners offering strategic flex for corner grip while maintaining strong power transfer. Provides more forgiveness and a slightly more responsive feel than the Firm version, making it excellent for skaters who want a balance of hold and maneuverability.

XA Firm

The stiffer counterpart designed for maximum stability and power retention. Superior stiffness preserves custom setups under high forces, delivering exceptional predictability and hold in the corners. Ideal for stronger or heavier skaters who prioritize rigidity and direct power transfer.

Steel Options

XA blades come standard in Bi-metal.

Full PM steel is available upon special request (typically 4–6 week lead time).
