V76 Cockpit and Encelad Skates Review: A Long-Term Test Opinion
I'm summing up my test of two skate models from the Yaroslavl-based V76 factory: the new Cockpit, which I compared with the previous Encelad. I skated in both models simultaneously (with the Cockpit on my right foot and the Encelad on my left), and this allowed me to clearly see the differences between the previous and new generations of skates.
I regularly read comments on V76 skates, and in this article, I've tried to clarify many points regarding both the Yaroslavl models and share my thoughts on the hockey skate market in general. After all, the Cockpit and Encelad are already established players in this market, which means it's important to understand who they're suitable for and their strengths and weaknesses. The video is quite long (but I hope it's informative), and for easier viewing, I recommend using 2x playback speed (this will get you all the information much faster and without losing the point), as well as timecodes. Enjoy! 🙂
