It takes its inspiration from the Maple Gold, and the whole design is about flow and finesse rather than raw stiffness. If you like to read a corner and skate it with touch, the JaeBee is made for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBuilt for maximum flex\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe JaeBee uses highly flexible lips, even more flexible than the StayBent QCS. The lips are the parts of the blade that hold the tube to the cups, and more flex there lets the skate move freely with your push. The result is a blade that follows your foot through the stride instead of fighting it, which many technical skaters describe as a more connected, intuitive feel on the ice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe tapered tube and progressive flex\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat sets the JaeBee apart is the tube itself. The top of the tube tapers down from the centre toward each end, which creates a progressive flex pattern along the length of the blade. In plain terms, the tips of the blade have more give than the middle. That gives you a varied, responsive feel depending on how and where you load the blade, so it stays smooth through technical corners and rewards creative race moments with soft, controlled transitions and good grip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBimetal or full PM steel\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe JaeBee is offered in two steels so you can match the blade to how hard you skate and how often you sharpen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBimetal, 62 HRC.\u003c\/strong\u003e A slightly softer running steel that is easy to sharpen and forgiving day to day.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull PM, 64 HRC.\u003c\/strong\u003e A harder powder metallurgy steel that holds an edge longer between sharpenings, which suits skaters who train heavily.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you have a preference, mention it with your order and our team will confirm what is available in your length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSizing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe JaeBee comes in eight lengths, from 14.5 up to 18, so you can match the blade to your boot size and racing style.

Skaters who like to change lines, attack corners with touch and keep the skate moving under them tend to get on well with this blade.
