Elite Skate Profiling

Top players are sensitive to the most subtle variations in blade profile shape. Even differences as tiny as the width of a human hair – between blades in a pair, and between multiple sets of blades – can affect player feel and performance.

Precision begins with the profile templates which carry the shape you will copy onto the blades. ELITE profile templates are not just laser cut, but CNC-machined to tolerances of 2/1000th of an inch to guarantee consistent results.

ELITE’s blade mounting system means that the blades are profiled on their own, not on skates. This means that there is always a consistent reference point for the blades, every time they are profiled. It also allows two or four blades to be profiled at a time. All the blades will end up perfectly identical.

Choose your profile, your hollow, and how you're getting it to us above. Can't decide? Pick "Help Me Decide" and we'll call you for a quick 1-on-1 to match a profile and hollow to your skating style before any steel is cut.
