In this Q&A; we answered the questions you & other Ice Freestyers have asked us on our XEO Lifestyle posts on Facebook and Instagram about T'Blade and how to customize T-Blades! If you have more questions you can always post them in the comment section below this video! What does the 'T' in T'Blade stand for? The logo of the Red Flame and its t’blade name means in full “Thermal Blade”. The heat of the blade is one of the main advantages of the t’blade system. Due to the very low mass of metal (blade thickness is 1 mm) the contact area may heat up faster and to a greater degree than traditional blades during skating. Due to the low mass of metal the blade heats faster and becomes hotter (+40%) than a traditional blade which improves the gliding on the ice. In conclusion, a higher heat of the blade provides better maneuverability, easier acceleration and reduces speed loss. General information about the T'Blade system: 1. The bladeholder 00:34 2.
