Bauer Hockey has introduced its latest stick, the NEXUS 1N, which is reinforced by TeXtreme carbon fibre fabrics that are designed to help reduce the weight while, at the same time, increasing the durability and strength of the stick.

Bauer Hockey uses the TeXtreme technology in all of the three product families, NEXUS, VAPOR and SUPREME, to reduce weight, improve the mechanical performance and for the superior surface smoothness, which reduces the need for finishing drastically compared to other carbon fibre materials, according to the manufacturer.

Partnership with TeXtreme

“Through our partnership with TeXtreme we are able to incorporate a high performance material into our elite products in a way that helps us deliver to our consumers the premium products they expect from BAUER,” said Tyson Teplitsky, Global Brand Manager for Bauer Hockey. “TeXtreme helps us maximize playability and integrate innovative designs and features we develop.”

The 1N is the most advanced NEXUS stick and is designed with a unique sweet spot that is said to help the player to shot with precision. In addition to TeXtreme, another feature of the stick is eLASTech technology, which reinforces the TeXtreme carbon fibres with micro nanotubes, helping to prevent cracks from slashes growing as well as extending the pop life of the stick.

Market leading specialist

Founded in Kitchener, Ontario in 1927, Bauer Hockey developed the first skate with a blade attached to a boot, forever changing the game of hockey. Since then, Bauer Hockey has continued to develop the most sought after products in the industry, including the widely successful SUPREME, VAPOR and NEXUS lines of products.

Today Bauer Hockey is the market leading brand in the ice hockey industry, and more than 400 NHL players use BAUER sticks reinforced by TeXtreme.

Alongside the use of TeXtreme in ice hockey, other users can be found in Formula 1, Americas Cup, bicycles, golf shafts, tennis, surf boards, rowing boats, skis, snowboards, NASCAR and various industrial and advanced aerospace applications.

Spread Tow reinforcements

Spread Tow reinforcements is a type of composite reinforcements based on novel technologies rendering a material that is said to give unique possibilities for weight savings and performance improvements as well as cost and time savings when looking at the total cost of the composite, rather than just compare price per sqm.

Through reduced amount of material and labour time by using fewer plies and the superior surface smoothness also rendering substantial time savings this can all be achieved simultaneously as saving weight, the company reports.
