Bont Skates 2010
Bont have already unveiled a number of new products for 2010 and there a quite a few more to come.
The Apache is deleted and replaced by the Z.
Here is how the skates will lineup for 2010, top to bottom
1. New unreleased model
2. Vaypor including new Flag Vaypor and Zero Vaypor
3. Z
4. Jet
5. Cheetah
The Vaypor will get some upgrades:
- Slightly more dense padding
- Front TPU bumper with air vents
- Suede microfiber liner
- Super comfy tongue like we use in the cycling shoes
- We will remove the thermoplastic from the boot to save weight and rely on our very moldable resin for the heat molding of the boot. We have done a lot of work on our resin over the past few years and it is extremely moldable.
- The cuff will get a roll top where the liner gets rolled over the outside of the boot and then sewn. It's a small change but it looks neater.
The Flag Vaypor is paying a little bit of homage to our motherland England (The Queen of England is still Australia's head of state).
The Z will get Australian leater outer, microfiber liner, a hand made base made up of 85% carbon and 15% fiberglass. No thermoplastic to save on weight, but still very moldable.
The difference between the Vaypor and Z is that the Vaypor is made of all carbon + uni directional carbon and the liner is different.
The Z and Vaypor + new un-named model are all available in Custom made.
All boots are available in 2point and 3point.
The Cheetah, is an all fiberglass boot, but that fiberglass is hand laid in different directions so it is a very light, stiff boot and great value for money.
The top of the line unreleased model will be a specialty speed skate.
Bont will have two new 3x110mm frames coming out in early January. 11.2" and 12".
New racing suit design for 2010.
New pricing will be released early Jan.
The cost of our magnesium frames has increased to the point where all 3pt frames will be replaced with the new Aluminum S-frame7. The Sniper is discontinued.
