Review of Bauer Nexus 2N Ice Hockey Skates

The Bauer Nexus 2N is a beautifully crafted skate created with professional athletes in mind for their comfort and style. Bauer put a high priority on comfort and toughness for the 2N skates.

A pair of hockey skates is among the necessities for a hockey player. If you choose the incorrect ones, you can struggle to maintain stability and turn, and they might not shield you from being struck or tripped. Fit is the essential thing to think about when buying skates.

We’ll examine everything the Bauer Nexus 2N offers in-depth, with a new appearance and a few upgraded functions.

Our Nexus 2Ns, which are 8.0 and weigh only 780 grams, is extremely light. As a result, the 1N loses a little weight, making the 2N one of the lightest elite Bauer skates available.

The 2N appears significantly busier than the 1N in appearance, but Bauer hasn’t gone overboard with the details. The skate seems a little more streamlined than its predecessor, thanks to the contour lines and flawless polish.

Bauer Nexus 2N Ice Hockey Skates Weight

What are THE Bauer nexus 2n skates made out of? Are they durable?

Starting with the boot, Bauer’s 3D-lasted Carbon Curv Composite, which is both light and protective, is used to make the 2N. Some of the greatest Bauer skates and Vapor protection gear are made from Curv Composite. Because it is the only extremely light and sturdy material, it is employed on these high-end products.

Additionally, it is a great material for building complex buildings. Bauer takes advantage of this by molding the foot, ankle, and heel bone utilizing their 3D-lasting technique. We believe that this Carbon Curv Composite variant is among the best ones we have yet seen.

Our specialists can fine-tune the fit after the skates have been baked in the Bauer skate oven since it has superior thermoformability. As befits its standing as an Elite class skate, the 2N provides an exceptional blend of performance and comfort in a lightweight design.

To assist the skate be lighter and perform better, Bauer designed the 2N with a lightweight composite outsole. Energy transfer throughout a stride is maximized with a fully composite outsole.

Regarding the skate’s interior, Bauer chose their brand-new Hydra Max 2 liner. Due to its high durability, excellent moisture-wicking capabilities, and plush feel, this material is ideal for players who don’t like to wear socks while they play.

Bauer’s Form-Fit+ is used in the 2N footbed. To keep the foot securely planted in the skate, the Form-Fit+ has a sticky feel in both the heel cup and the toe. The memory foam ankle cushioning provides more comfort and the necessary heel stability to prevent stride power loss.

 

Are Bauer Nexus 2n skates comfortable? and how do they fit?

The fit is snug on your foot and the front of your ankle thanks to the two-piece construction and internally curved internals. A high-density metatarsal guard is incorporated into the tongue to provide comfort and safeguard the foot against lace bites, cuts, and pucks.

All Nexus skates have a high-volume fit profile for players with wide forefoot, high insteps, or who want more depth in the heel pocket.

The Nexus 2N takes the place of the N9000, and at that lower price point, advanced or elite skaters are likely to value the pro-level features Bauer has incorporated into this stylish skate.

The Nexus shoes’ lightweight memory foam ankle pads contribute to their comfort. For comfort and a tight, locked-in fit crucial for performance, these pads embrace and conform to the curve of your ankle bones.

Additionally, the Form-Fit+ insole aids in maintaining the stability of your foot. The insole’s grip covering prevents your foot from shifting, which makes it more difficult to transfer power and maintain balance. Additionally, the insole features a few air holes to prevent moisture from getting on your feet.

For players with larger feet, the well-known “Nexus Fit” is still available on the Nexus 2N skates. Players with a wide forefoot, a high instep, and space between their ankle and foot bones are suited for the Nexus fit.

A redesigned integrated lace face with a lace lock gives the foot a more secure fit and support and increases your ability to control the skate. It offers three more ways to tie the laces between the top four eyelets, just like the Supreme 2S Pro skate.

Bauer Nexus 2N Ice Hockey Skates Performance

How do Bauer Nexus 2n skates perform?

The Supreme 2S Pro and Vapor 1X, Bauer’s top-of-the-line skates, appear more flamboyant and feature-rich than the Nexus 2N skates at first. But the Nexus 2N skates retain the distinctive Nexus fit and are identical to any other premium Bauer skate in terms of performance and control.

To identify the ideal technique to support the heel and conform to the contour of the skater’s foot while transferring power through the skate’s body, the N2 has been the subject of ongoing computer analysis.

A deep-V can occasionally feel too tight, but not in the 2N. After this test, it took me some time to adjust to my regular skates because the power transmission was so good.

 

Is there a difference between the Senior, Intermediate, Junior, and Youth versions of Bauer Nexus 2N Skates?

There are no differences in the versions of the Bauer Nexus 2N skates;

SENIOR Hockey Skates
Adults and fully grown adolescents with a Men’s US shoe size of 7 or larger can wear senior hockey skates.

JUNIOR Hockey Skates

Designed to fit children between the ages of 8 and 12 who wear US shoe sizes 2 and 6.5.

YOUTH Hockey Skates
To suit toddlers and young children in the age range of 9 years and under.

Our Verdict/Overall Thoughts on Bauer Nexus 2N Skates

I never expected such a brilliant idea, yet it’s here. I’d suggest the 2N’s if you occasionally feel constrained in other skates and want something that will fit snugly but not too tightly.

Bauer has reduced weight, improved appearance, power transfer, and comfort. For $489.97, you can obtain a pair of Nexus 2N.

I’m the former footballer/athlete, who could have gone pro was it not for my knee injury! Never heard that before, have you? Jokes aside, my life nowadays really revolves around work, fitness, watching A LOT of sports and spending time with the ones I love (add blogging to that!)
