StayBent QCS

Want the smooth, flexible skating the StayBent Q family is known for, at a more accessible price? Meet the QCS. It carries the Q family feel that technical and intuitive skaters love, in a blade that costs less than the top tier.

Q family feel

The QCS is built with the same tube as the Quantum, so it delivers the trusted natural flex, grip and flow that make the Q family so popular. A thin pillar design keeps the skate light and responsive, while even stiffness along the full length of the tube gives you stability through every push. It is a smooth, confident blade with the DNA of a top end skate.

What makes the QCS different

The difference is the steel. The QCS uses the same hardness levels as our top options, full PM at 64 HRC and bimetal at 62 HRC, but the blade uses a more cost effective material. That gives you solid, Q level performance at a more accessible price. It is a great choice for developing athletes and for skaters who want a Q level feel without investing in top tier steel.

Frequently asked questions

How is the QCS different from the JaeBee?

The QCS has even full length stiffness for stability, while the JaeBee has more flexible lips and a tapered tube for progressive flex. The QCS is also a more accessible price.

Which steel should I choose?

Bimetal at 62 HRC is easier to sharpen and forgiving. Full PM at 64 HRC holds an edge longer for heavy training. Both share the QCS design.

How do I pick my length?

Match the length to your boot and style. Shorter feels quicker, longer carries more speed. Send us your boot size for a recommendation.
