The Runner is the key technology of the t-blade system. We embed our high-strength ultra-durable polished stainless steel strip into our proprietary - temperature & impact resistant - fiberglass reinforced plastic. Due to the small mass of metal, each runner has a minimized weight and heats more rapidly. Reaching temperatures 5 °C hotter than traditional blades, our Runners reduce friction by 40% providing superior glide. Our high strength alloy stays sharper longer and when the Runner is worn out it can be quickly changed.Lightweight (5g) = Hotter (5 °C) = 40% less frictionSuperior maneuverabilityExcellent gliding characteristicsUp to 4 times longer life than conventional blade sharpening Constant gliding surface length / rocker formIncreased cornering speed
