The Bauer Vapor Flylite is one of Bauer’s most exciting retail stick releases in recent memory. The latest Vapor release combines technology from the limited edition Vapor ADV launch with technology that was previously patented by Easton. With Bauer purchasing Easton, they’ve now put the Bauer twist on the exclusive Easton technology. The Flylite is in the upper echelon of true low kick point sticks at only 390 grams and one of the fastest releases in hockey.

New Features
The Vapor Flylite is loaded with new features. The most significant is the advanced carbon layering that is used throughout the shaft and blade. The 1X Lite had advanced carbon layering in the blade to reduce weight, and in the Flylite we see that technology from butt end, down the shaft, through the hosel, and into the blade.

Advanced Carbon Layering
This was a first tested during the super exclusive Vapor ADV launch, now we see that technology in a full launch at retail. The ACL technology utilizes thinner, stronger carbon fiber layering that brings the weight overall stick down without sacrificing durability. At 352 grams the Flylite feels incredibly well balanced and ultra lightweight.

XE Taper
The XE Taper is another huge new feature. You’ll notice that the taper is much thinner and has rounded edges along the top and bottom of the shaft. This elliptical geometry has been adopted from Easton technology. We knew this would happen eventually and the future is now.

Stiffer Hosel
The XE Taper serves a few different purposes. First, the thinner profile requires less material to construct which reduces weight. Second, the stiff lower hosel prevents torsional flex when shooting to keep the blade face square to target. A secondary benefit from this design is that there is no need to add additional carbon layering in the lower hosel to achieve this. The geometry alone is enough to secure the shaft.

Softened Sweet Spot
The middle portion of the taper is slightly softer than previous Vapor models which amplifies the incredible load and release system. The recoil is terrific and this is the fastest release we’ve seen in a Vapor stick.

Asymmetrical TeXtreme
Another tweak to the stick is the asymmetrical texturing along the shaft of the stick. Bauer moved from square to rectangular shaped TeXtreme to improve energy transfer when shooting.

Improved Blade Durability
Lastly, Bauer has taken a big step to improve the durability of the blade by increasing the blade thickness. The same core and construction have been used, but the weight reduction throughout the rest of the stick allowed Bauer to beef up the blade without changing the way the blade performs or feels.

Stick Flex Profile
True low kick point profile with XE Taper technology for quicker loading and enhanced recoil.

Shaft Construction
Bauer’s pro level monocomp shaft construction technology. True one-piece construction and feel. Advanced carbon layering throughout.

Blade Construction/Stiffness
Advanced carbon layering throughout. Aero-Sense 2 blade core. PureShot extra stiff blade profile. Thicker construction for improved durability.

Graphics
The Bauer Flylite Shadow Series features an all black stick, with dark grey accent colours. The graphics are very subtle but up close, this stick is stealth looking and provides you with the same performance you’ve grown to love from the Vapor Flylite Hockey Stick.

Blade Patterns/Flex/Lengths
At the Flylite price point – the P92M pattern option is available. The ‘M’ notation indicates max blade height for the P92 pattern. This is the maximum blade height allowed from heel to toe – ultimately creating more surface area for the player to make plays on the ice.
