The Raven is a beautifully finished, handmade boot which provides plenty of support and control. The boot has a carbon composite shell with a torsionally rigid sole and is fully thermoplastic. As a result, the boot is easy to mould and a good fit is guaranteed. The use of carbon fibre make the boot very lightweight yet sturdy.
The Raps V8 chassis is very solid and has an oval aluminium tube. This makes the clap skate very sturdy and suitable for both artificial and natural ice. The blade has a hardness of 62 HRC, which means it is slightly stiffer than the V6 variant and is therefore more suitable for experienced skaters. The use of a composite bridge on the blades ensures that the power transfer is optimal. The mount allows the blade to be adjusted side to side and back to front, allowing full customisation of the skates.
The new version of the Raven is now available in three varieties: black standard boot, a smaller red boot(suitable for people with narrower feet) and a wider variation, in the colour blue, for those with a broader feet.
All skates are supplied ready to use; this means bent and rockered (standard curve is 23 meters) If you would like a different radius, then please indicate this when completing your order.
