The CCM Tacks XF 2024 is built for powerful, explosive players who demand pro-level acceleration, strong strides, and stable edge control — but prefer a more accessible price point than the elite XF Pro. As the second price-tier skate in the 2024 Tacks line, the XF delivers an exceptional balance of performance, comfort, and cutting-edge engineering.
The skate introduces several key upgrades: Game Ready Fit, ADPT Memory Foam, and the premium STEP V-Steel runner — technologies specifically designed to enhance acceleration, responsiveness, and all-game comfort.
At the core of the skate is the One-Piece Boot construction engineered with lightweight RFM Composite. By eliminating a glued or nailed outsole, the One-Piece Boot allows power to flow directly from the foot into the ice, ensuring more explosive starts, stronger crossovers, and efficient stride power. This design is ideal for modern power players who rely on intensity and speed in every shift.
The new Game Ready Fit provides an improved out-of-the-box comfort that wraps the foot naturally and securely, reducing break-in time and giving players a performance-ready fit the moment they step on the ice. This feature mirrors the XF Pro, making the XF 2024 one of the most comfortable skates ever introduced in the Tacks lineup.
Borrowing from the FT6 series, the ADPT Comfort Tongue integrates a lightweight Metatomic Fit profile with molded lace bite protection. This tongue delivers the ideal blend of flexibility, support, and protection, enhancing forward flexion and ensuring consistent control in tight turns, rapid accelerations, and intense puck battles.
CCM also improved the tendon guard in the XF, increasing range of motion for a longer stride extension and greater skating speed. This added freedom directly supports players who rely on drive and reach in their stride mechanics.
Inside the boot, ADPT Memory Foam shapes closely to the foot, offering a personalized, locked-in fit. This dense foam stabilizes the foot during hard pushes and sudden directional changes, providing comfort that lasts through long practices and high-pressure games.
Supporting this custom feel is the TotalDri Pro liner, designed with responsive foam and Polygiene antimicrobial treatment. The liner efficiently wicks moisture to keep skates light and feet dry, while Polygiene reduces odor and bacteria — a major advantage for players practicing several times per week.
Below the boot, the premium STEP V-Steel runner stands out with its mirror-polished finish, delivering sharper edges, superior glide, and increased speed. STEP Steel is widely regarded as one of the most durable, high-performance runners available for competitive skaters.
Completing the design is the SpeedBlade XS Holder with an Enhanced Dial. This upgraded quick-release system features a dial that is 136% larger, improving grip and ease of use — even with wet gloves. Blade changes become faster, smoother, and more secure, giving players confidence during games and tournaments.
With its advanced engineering, improved fit, and powerful performance profile, the CCM Tacks XF 2024 is designed for players who depend on strength, stability, and explosive acceleration. Available in Tapered, Regular, and Wide fits, the XF accommodates a full range of foot shapes to ensure a reliable, anatomical fit.
The CCM Tacks XF 2024 is a smart choice for players seeking elite-level features at a more accessible price point. It delivers power, comfort, and top-tier performance technologies in one package. Step into the Tacks XF and feel ready to dominate every shift with confidence.
