t-blade Runner Understand: The ultimate guide to choosing the perfect interchangeable blade
With the right t-blade Runner You'll get the most out of your skating style – whether it's freestyle, hockey, or relaxed cruising. Two key factors are crucial: the length of the blade and the radius of curvature. Short blades offer maximum maneuverability, while longer ones provide more stability. Small radii offer excellent edge grip for tricks and quick changes of direction, while large radii give you more speed and a smoother glide. In this guide, I'll show you which combination is perfect for your weight, style, and ice conditions – including charts, tips, and a simple decision-making tool.
Anatomy of a t-blade Runners
t-blade Runner consist of:
Selection criteria at a glance
Sliding surface length (S, M, L)
| Length | Mobility | Stability |
| S | Very high | Low |
| M | Balanced | Balanced |
| L | less | High |
Tip: For fast turns and tricks, use "S". For linear runs and more control: use "L".
Hollow radius (HR)
| HR | Edge grip | Sliding behavior |
| 9 | Very strong | Low |
| 11 | Stark | Expert |
| 13 | Balanced | Very good! |
| 15 | Less strong | Very good! |
| 18 | Slightly | Excellent |
| 21 | Very easy | Maximum |
Important: The smaller the HR (head angle), the more bite into the turn – but also more friction. Larger HRs are better for gliding comfort and speed.
Adaptation to individual needs
Body weight: Heavier runners often benefit from larger HR (e.g. 15–18) for better gliding comfort.
Driving style:
Freestyle: short gliding surface (S), low HR (9–11)
Ice hockey: mean gliding surface (M), mean HR (11–13)
Recreational run: long gliding surface (L), large HR (15–21)
Ice conditions:
Soft ice: smaller HR for better grip
Hard ice: higher HR for less resistance
Decision aid: The Runner-Check
Answer the following questions to find your ideal Runner zu finden:
How often do you drive per week?
Do you ride more technically or endurance-oriented?
Are you light, average, or heavy?
Are you skating on artificial ice or natural/outdoor ice?
Depending on the answer, the optimal combination of sliding surface and hollow radius is determined.
