Bauer Vapor S23 X5 PRO WITHOUT RUNNER Intermediate Ice Hockey Skates

The Bauer Vapor X5 Pro 2023 skate is designed for players seeking explosive speed, instant agility, and a lightweight, responsive boot. It is especially suitable for intermediate-level players who train multiple times a week and want to noticeably improve their edge control and quickness.

The Curv Composite quarter package provides elite-level stiffness while staying extremely light. The Vapor philosophy remains — more support in the upper portion, and increased flex and responsiveness in the lower boot for quicker energy transfer.

This year’s major innovation is the PowerFly Holder. Its rigid front post increases stride acceleration, while the flexible rear post delivers rapid side-to-side transitions. Combined with the hyperbolic blade channel geometry, players get improved steel integration and reduced trigger stress during impacts.

The skate is compatible with Fly-X and Fly-TI runners, with juniors coming standard with Fly-X steel. Both steel types fit PowerFly Holder and Lightspeed Edge.

The 3D Lasted Two-Piece Boot with Digi Comp Outsole maintains a low flex point, supporting the Vapor signature quick-release skating style.

The upgraded Injected Facing improves lateral support and ensures a locked-in feel. Inside, AeroFoam+ padding and HydroLite Liner combine for superior moisture management, comfort, and secure heel lock.

The Pro Stock Tongue provides protection and flexibility, helping eliminate lace bite while maximizing forward flex. Vapor X5 Pro is an outstanding choice for players skating 3–4 times a week who want premium performance without jumping to the flagship category.

The Bauer Vapor X5 Pro 2023 skate delivers high-level speed, agility, and comfort in a lightweight, performance-driven package. It is the smart upgrade for players ready to elevate their skating. Choose Vapor X5 Pro and feel the difference in every stride.
