StayBent by EHS XC Weapon Firm

Designed for powerful skaters seeking stiffness, grip, and control, the StayBent XC Firm is the stiffer version of the XC Flex. With a pillar-specific construction, this skate can handle higher forces.

While the XC Flex offers controlled flex at the lips, the XC Firm prioritizes rigidity along the entire length, especially in the lower section, providing maximum support, better hold in turns, and optimal power at high speeds.

This model is ideal for heavier or physically stronger skaters who need a skate that won’t bend under pressure.

Like the XC Flex, the wider pillars of the XC Firm ensure optimal power transfer across the blade. Combined with Full PM (64Hrc) or Bi-metal/PM (66Hrc) runners and Precision Bend Technology, they provide consistent pre-bend, excellent edge retention, and superior 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 connected, stable feel on the ice—perfect for high-intensity training and competition.

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