Zandstra Ballangrud 9877

The Zandstra Ballangrud 9877 is a long-track clap skate designed for speed skating on outdoor or indoor ovals. It combines a responsive boot with a hinged blade system that lets your heel lift freely, helping maintain contact with the ice throughout each stride.

The Race HH boot offers a firm, supportive fit that keeps your foot secure without restricting movement. Its stainless steel Toolsteel blades, hardened to 60 on the Rockwell C scale, resist wear and hold a sharp edge longer, so you spend more time training and less time maintaining your skates. With a 25 m blade radius, each push delivers smooth, extended glides, allowing a steady rhythm and better transfer of power down the long straightaways.

The Rockwell C (RC) scale measures blade hardness: at 60 RC, these blades balance durability and sharpenability, giving consistent performance session after session. The 25 m radius refers to the curve of the blade’s rocker—larger radii suit straighter, faster skating, offering stability at high speeds while still allowing controlled cornering.
