The CCM Tacks XF80 2024 skate represents the perfect balance between performance and comfort, engineered for intermediate-level players who need strong support and powerful strides without the premium price tag. Featuring the One-Piece Boot construction, the XF80 provides seamless energy transfer and a closer, more responsive anatomical fit.
Built with a Composite Fiberglass quarter package, the boot is designed for modern power skaters seeking explosive acceleration with unrestricted stride extension. The one-piece setup improves direct energy transfer and offers a locked-in feel that boosts skating efficiency.
The 7 mm Metatomic TriTech black felt tongue features a molded foam core that wraps securely around the foot, providing excellent comfort and support. It also includes built-in lace-bite protection, which is essential for players training several times per week.
Inside the boot, CCM includes their HD Microfiber liner paired with an Ortholite footbed. Together, these materials manage moisture, resist wear, and ensure long-lasting comfort. The Multi-Density Memory Foam ankle padding shapes naturally around the foot for a customized, secure fit.
A major upgrade in the XF80 is the Flex Tendon 3.0 — the same technology found in top-end Tacks XF Pro, XF, and XF90 models. This tendon guard enhances range of motion and allows for greater stride extension, resulting in increased speed and more powerful push-offs.
The skate is finished with the XS Speedblade holder and XS Pro Stainless runner. The holder’s spring-lock mechanism ensures a tight and secure blade connection while allowing quick blade changes. The XS Pro Steel is +2 mm taller than the XS1, improving attack angle and offering long-lasting edge life.
Built for beginner to performance-level players, the CCM Tacks XF80 2024 offers an excellent combination of premium technologies and affordability.
