Performance advantages

Built to turn every stride into an advantage.

VIKKELA GR8 blades use a patented trapezoid profile with variable blade width at the front, center, and rear of the stainless steel runner.

More glide

A wider center section helps increase glide roll and supports larger hollow radii or flat sharpening.

Better stability

The 4.3 mm trapezoid platform helps smooth out ice imperfections and gives a balanced, planted feel.

Faster acceleration

An expanded front contact area creates a strong push-off platform and a comfortable attack angle at the start.

Turns without braking

The carving geometry helps the blade “screw” into turns, keeping contact with the ice even at aggressive lean angles.

Hockey player skating with VIKKELA blades

On-ice feel

Speed, control, and confidence in tight game moments.

In hockey, small advantages matter. A 1 km/h speed increase can create separation every second, while improved edge contact helps maintain speed through quick maneuvers.

Compact, sharp turnsDesigned to reduce speed loss while carving through turns.

Explosive startsA larger push-off plane helps generate a powerful first stride.

Lower fatigueMore efficient glide can help reduce strain during long sessions.

Materials & manufacturing

Premium steel. Precision production.

GR8 blades are produced from chromium stainless steel alloyed with molybdenum and vanadium, selected for strong edge retention and professional durability.
