The Zandstra Ving Klapschaats is a versatile ice skate with a unisex design, featuring a semi-soft shoe construction with a hard shell heel for optimal support and comfort. This model combines a high-speed closure system with Velcro and classic lacing, ensuring a secure and customizable fit. The frame is made of durable Zytel ST plastic with an integrated aluminum tube, providing stability with a low profile compared to competition models. The hinge point is secured by the tube and features a maintenance-free compression spring for reliable performance. The pre-ground blade is made of stainless steel, measuring 1.25 mm in thickness with a hardness of 60 Rc and a curvature of 25 meters radius, allowing for smooth gliding comfort and edge control. Available in a black-silver color scheme, this skate uses synthetic materials, textile components, and steel elements in its construction. A special feature is its dual functionality: it can be used as a klapschaats with an active hinge mechanism or converted into a fixed blade skate by removing a pin in the chassis. This adaptability makes it suitable for various skating disciplines and skill levels, combining the benefits of klapschaats technology with the option for traditional fixed blade performance when needed. The model in size 40 offers a balanced combination of technical features and practical versatility for ice sports enthusiasts.
