Bauer KONEKT2 Intermediate Goalie Skates

Bauer KONEKT2 Intermediate: precision and mobility around the crease

The Bauer KONEKT2 Intermediate Goalie Skates offer an innovative construction for developing goaltenders looking for a precise fit combined with excellent freedom of movement.

This KONEKT2 generation features a lighter construction than its predecessor, a redesigned shell and an advanced fitting concept developed to create a close connection between the foot and the skate.

The combination of GRILAMID, ULTRALON and HINGEFLEX technologies creates a performance-focused platform for the specific demands of goaltending, including stable edges, ankle flexion and rapid changes of direction.

Thermoformable GRILAMID shell

The Bauer KONEKT2 Intermediate features a shell made entirely from GRILAMID, a premium material also used in the professional ski industry.

GRILAMID is known for its thermoformability, durability and resistance to impacts at low temperatures, making it particularly well suited to the demanding environment of an ice rink.

The KONEKT2 shell has also been redesigned to reduce weight while maintaining the structure required for goalie-specific movements.

ULTRALON liner for a precise fit

The ULTRALON liner offers a high level of thermoformability and is designed to conform more closely to the shape of the foot during the fitting process.

This construction helps minimize negative space inside the boot, creating a more secure and connected feeling between the goaltender's foot and the skate.

For intermediate goalies, this close fit can contribute to greater stability during edge transitions and lateral movements.

HINGEFLEX for increased ankle freedom

HINGEFLEX technology is one of the defining features of the KONEKT2 platform. The articulated ankle design allows a greater range of motion despite the structured shell.

The system provides up to 22 degrees of additional flex, supporting deep stances, lateral movements and quick transitions around the crease.

This gives the goaltender a useful balance between ankle mobility and secure foot support.

Adjustable flex by up to 50%

Every goaltender has different preferences when it comes to ankle mobility. Bauer therefore incorporates an adjustable flex system into the heel of the skate.

If the full HINGEFLEX range feels too flexible, the system can be adjusted to reduce overall flex by up to 50%.

This allows players to select a firmer or more mobile response according to their playing style, technique and personal preference.

Ski-boot-inspired buckle closure

The Bauer KONEKT2 Intermediate Goalie Skates also stand apart through their closure system. Instead of conventional skate laces, Bauer uses adjustable buckles inspired by ski boots.

The buckles securely position the foot inside the boot while providing a quick and consistent closure.

Each buckle can be individually fine-tuned through micro-adjustments, allowing the goaltender to precisely control tension and fit.

Consistent fit every time you skate

Once the preferred buckle settings have been established, it becomes easier to reproduce a similar level of tension before each practice or game.

This consistency is one of the key benefits of the KONEKT2 buckle system and eliminates many of the variations associated with traditional skate lacing.

The result is a quick and practical closure system designed for goaltenders who value fit precision and repeatability.

LS Pulse Ti runners with titanium coating

The Bauer KONEKT2 Intermediate is equipped with premium LS Pulse Ti runners.

The titanium coating is designed to help the steel retain its edge for longer, supporting reliable grip during powerful pushes and rapid directional changes.

Strong edge performance is particularly important for goaltenders who depend on traction during explosive crease movements and recoveries.

Built around modern goalie movement

Goaltending requires a unique combination of stability and freedom of movement. The Bauer KONEKT2 Intermediate addresses both requirements by combining a structured shell with an articulated ankle.

The foot remains securely positioned inside the boot while HINGEFLEX supports the ankle movement required for low stances, lateral pushes and fast transitions.

This architecture makes the KONEKT2 an attractive performance intermediate goalie skate for players who value mobility without sacrificing support.

Heat molding and customizable support

One of the major advantages of the KONEKT2 concept is the combination of several fitting technologies.

The thermoformable GRILAMID shell works with the ULTRALON liner to create a closer fit, while the buckle system allows the goaltender to fine-tune closure tension.

HINGEFLEX adds another level of customization by allowing the resistance of the ankle articulation to be adjusted.

Together, these technologies create a highly adjustable goalie skate fit based on the player's foot shape and preferences.

Who should choose the Bauer KONEKT2 Intermediate?

The Bauer KONEKT2 Intermediate is intended for goaltenders within the intermediate size category who want a technical skate capable of supporting demanding play.

It is particularly suitable for players who prefer a close-fitting feel, increased ankle mobility and a fast closure system without conventional laces.

Its advanced construction also makes it an interesting option for developing goaltenders who want access to the performance technologies of Bauer's KONEKT platform.
