The Ribcor line has always been unique due to its visual technology that helps generate amazing loading and quick release. The new Ribcor 47k will still feature the visible PopMatrix Technology but the layup will be completely new. The structure of the blade has been modified to increase puck feel and reduce weight. The New CCM Ribcor 47k stays true to the DNA of the Ribcor line while improving its feel and performance.
PopMatrix Technology is performance fibers constantly in tension for a quick and efficient power transfer and loading while being protected by the outer layers. The Ascent Blade on this stick has an optimized stiffness profile that goes from softer in the heel to extra stiff at the toe for a great combination of feel and quick release. The Power taper ratio of 3:1 means that less energy is wasted down into the ice and more energy is transferred all the way through to the blade.
