Bauer KONEKT2 Goalie Skates

Bauer KONEKT2 Goalie Skates: advanced technology for demanding goaltenders

The Bauer KONEKT2 Goalie Skates represent the next evolution of Bauer's innovative KONEKT concept. Designed for elite and performance-focused hockey goalies, the KONEKT2 features a lighter construction than its predecessor, a redesigned shell and an updated fitting process.

The Bauer KONEKT2 combines a thermoformable GRILAMID shell, an ULTRALON liner, adjustable HINGEFLEX technology and a buckle closure system inspired by high-performance ski boots.

The result is a highly technical goalie hockey skate designed to combine precise fit, mobility and support for demanding movements around the crease.

GRILAMID shell: lightweight, durable and thermoformable

The shell of the Bauer KONEKT2 Goalie Skate is constructed entirely from premium GRILAMID.

This material originates from the professional ski industry and is known for its thermoformability, durability and resistance to impacts at low temperatures.

For the KONEKT2 generation, Bauer redesigned the shell to make it lighter than its predecessor while maintaining the properties required from a high-performance goalie skate.

The redesigned shell also provides additional depth for goaltenders who prefer Fit 2 and Fit 3 configurations.

Highly thermoformable ULTRALON liner

Inside the Bauer KONEKT2, the ULTRALON liner plays an important role in both comfort and fit precision.

This highly thermoformable liner is designed to conform to the shape of the goaltender's foot during the fitting process.

The objective is to minimize negative space inside the boot and create a secure, close-fitting connection between the foot and the skate.

HINGEFLEX technology with up to 22° of additional flex

One of the defining technologies of the Bauer KONEKT2 Goalie Skates is the innovative HINGEFLEX ankle system.

HINGEFLEX provides up to 22 degrees of additional flex, giving the ankle increased freedom of movement to support the demanding movements required by modern goaltenders.

This increased range of motion is designed to enhance goalie mobility while the structured shell continues to provide the support expected from a high-performance goalie skate.

Adjustable flex system

The HINGEFLEX system does more than simply provide additional ankle movement. Bauer has integrated an adjustable flex system that allows goaltenders to modify the skate's overall flex according to their preferences.

If the maximum amount of flex feels excessive, the recessed nut located in the heel adjustment system can be tightened.

This allows the overall flex to be reduced by up to 50%, giving goaltenders greater control over the balance between mobility, resistance and support.

Buckle closure system with micro-adjustments

The Bauer KONEKT2 replaces a traditional skate lacing system with ski-boot-inspired buckles.

The buckle system provides a secure and consistent fit designed to keep the foot firmly positioned inside the skate.

Each buckle can also be fine-tuned by rotating its adjustment mechanism, allowing the goaltender to make precise micro-adjustments to the fit.

This innovative Bauer KONEKT2 buckle system provides a very different approach to fit and closure compared with traditional lace-up goalie skates.

Precise fit with reduced negative space

The combination of the thermoformable GRILAMID shell, ULTRALON liner and micro-adjustable buckles allows the KONEKT2 fit to be precisely customized.

The liner conforms to the foot while the buckle system keeps it securely positioned within the shell. This construction is designed to reduce unwanted negative space inside the goalie skate.

The result is a more connected feel between the goaltender's foot and the skate.

LS Pulse Ti titanium-coated runners

The Bauer KONEKT2 Goalie Skates are equipped with premium LS Pulse Ti runners.

These runners feature a titanium coating designed to maintain their edge for longer and provide the grip goaltenders need when moving around the crease.

The Bauer LS Pulse Ti runners complement the premium KONEKT2 construction with a performance-focused solution designed for strong and controlled movements on the ice.

Enhanced mobility for modern goaltending

Mobility is at the heart of the Bauer KONEKT2 Goalie Skate. HINGEFLEX allows the ankle to work through an increased range of motion while the structured shell keeps the foot securely positioned.

This combination is particularly suited to the technical demands of modern goaltending, including lateral movements, stance transitions, deep flexion and explosive movements around the crease.

The Bauer KONEKT2 is therefore designed to combine mobility, support and precise fit in one advanced goalie skate.

A high-performance goalie skate

With its GRILAMID shell, ULTRALON liner and articulated HINGEFLEX ankle system, the Bauer KONEKT2 offers a very different construction from conventional goalie skates.

The buckle system also provides a fast, precise and repeatable closure. Once the micro-adjustments are set, goaltenders can quickly achieve their preferred fit.

This technical construction makes the KONEKT2 Bauer Goalie Skate a premium option for demanding goalies looking for an advanced approach to fit, ankle mobility and on-ice performance.
