Ermine's newest Made in Alaska Nordic Skate is equally at home on challenging bumpy ice and mirror-smooth glass. A robust 6061-T6 aluminum frame provides class-leading blade support and stability for the bumps. The AK2 is nimble and fun, but never shies away from the rough stuff.
AK2 blades are made from hardened 440A stainless steel. The frames are coated in Ermine's signature rugged polymer-ceramic.
What's Included: Bare blades come factory-sharpened, but they do not include XC bindings. Instead, blades are pre-drilled for screw-on XC bindings. With the included mounting hardware kit, you can install any of the following bindings: Rottefella Rollerski Skate, Rottefella Sport Skate, Rottefella NNN-BC Manual, Salomon Prolink or Salomon BC Outside.
If you would like us to mount the bindings for you, please add the bindings to your shopping cart, and then add installation: https://nordicskater.com/products/labor-tech
Blade length recommendations:
45cm (17.5") for skaters up to 5'8" and boot sizes up to Euro 43.
50cm (19.5") for skaters 5'9" and taller and boot sizes Euro 44 and larger.
Note: On rough, bumpy or soft ice, longer blades may perform better.
