Built for that Elite level player at a more mid-line price point, we see a lot of added performance-enhancing features to give added value for this player. Some key call outs are the 3D-Lasted Composite quarter panel, Digi Comp outsole & 48oz Pro stock felt tongue.
CONSTRUCTION
The boot is made from a 3D lasted flex composite material that is designed to allow for the right level of stiffness for the support you need for your full stride without creating any additional weight. Bauer has also changed the fibres that reinforce the boot allowing for the player to get more flex out of the skate.
LINER & TONGUE
Keeping you locked in and staying comfortable in the boot the M40 has a hydrophobic liner that keeps the foot staying locked in place and dry keeping your feet comfortable throughout the game. Under the liner we have the use of Aerofoam Technology for the ankle padding that is thicker in comparison to other foams but is fully thermoformable making it even more form-fitting. Working with the liner to keep you locked in place Bauer has gone with a 48oz Pro Stock felt tongue with an added injected metatarsal guard that provides added lace bite protection and protection when blocking a shot.
HOLDER & RUNNER
For the M40 Bauer is using the Lightspeed Edge holder that has a LS+ runner that has a similar shape as aftermarket steel geometry that means you can get an extra pair of steel for in the bag when you can't get in for a sharpening.
