The EHS StayBent Alba is a high-performance long track speed skating blade designed for skaters who want an ideal balance of control, responsiveness, and stability. Positioned between the Superior and Cosmic models in the StayBent lineup, the Alba offers a slightly more steering-friendly feel while still delivering the direct, stable feedback required for competitive skating.
Built around a laser-welded V-shaped tube, the Alba provides a controlled flex pattern that reacts smoothly under pressure during lean and push-off. High-quality bi-metal steel runners (approximately 66+ HRC), double-sided ground for excellent flatness, and CNC-machined aluminum bridges ensure consistent edge retention, durability, and precision. A premium 2K paint finish gives the blade a clean, professional appearance, and multiple blade length options allow proper pairing with a wide range of boot sizes.

The Alba is an excellent choice for skaters who want refined handling, predictable feedback, and high-level performance, bridging the gap between everyday training blades and elite competition models.
