Intro & New Features

Building upon the foundation of TRUE’s original TF line, the new HZRDUS 2023 hockey skate line showcases an enhanced shell stiffness and meticulous design to offer a seamless blend of power, responsiveness, and mastery over your skating stride. The 9X is constructed with a stable and powerful overall shape and with a lot of the tech that was successful in the Catalyst series, including CARV, HydroFoam, and Neurofit .

Skate Fit Profile

The HZRDUS 9X Intermediate skate is available in 4-6.5 Full and Half sizes in Regular and Wide fits.

Boot Construction & Stiffness Profile

The TRUE HZRDUS X9 skate showcases a substantially stiffer shell compared to its predecessor, amplifying its potential for power and control. The incorporation of Neurofit technology improves on the one-piece carbon fibre shell construction, enhancing the skates’ thermoformability and direct energy transfer to optimize your stride efficiency. The skate's redesigned standard tendon guard elevates its response capabilities, imparting greater agility and precision to your movements on the ice.

Liner & Internal Padding

The Hydrofoam liner is an innovative dimpled clarino microfibre liner working to enhance heel lock and provide a secure fit, allowing for greater agility and responsiveness during play. This advanced construction ensures a snug yet comfortable feel, optimizing your connection to the skate.

Lacing System

The skate employs a traditional yet effective lacing system, featuring standard eyelets that allow you to fine-tune the fit and tension according to your preference. This straightforward lacing design provides a classic and reliable approach, ensuring that you can easily achieve a secure and customized fit to optimize your on-ice performance.

Tongue

The innovative asymmetrical-shaped tongue is designed to cater to the natural contours of the foot for an enhanced fit and improved comfort during play.

Steel/Runner/Profile/Blade Holder

The skate features TRUE’s cutting-edge Shift Max holder, an elite skate holder known for its exceptional design that significantly reduces weight by 40g. Additionally, the holder incorporates BenchChange Technology, providing players with the convenience to quickly switch out runners when needed, offering adaptability on the fly. Complementing this technology is the Shift Max custom blade, meticulously crafted by TRUE and constructed with durable stainless steel, further enhancing the skate's performance and overall value.

Toe Cap

The CARV toe cap debuted in TRUE’s CAT9 skate, and the innovative design continues to be employed in the HZRDUS series. This toe cap boasts sharper edges, a streamlined aesthetic, and lighter construction, all strategically engineered to facilitate rapid transitions and seamless execution of tight turns. By harnessing these enhancements, the skate offers players increased agility and responsiveness on the ice, enhancing their overall performance during play.
