*Please note, this item is available for shipment from USA only. International shipments are subject to your country's applicable taxes and import duties.* The lead time on Otto blades is approximately 6-8 weeks.  The next generation in short track blades, the Otto is the result of years of development initiated by and named after Otto den Braver. It is the first shorttrack skate featuring a bridge construction. By using a bridge instead of standard cups, the design overcomes many of the problems with standard short track skates. The bridge creates a rigid construction between the front and back mounting points, preventing unwanted tensions caused by inaccuracies in the boots. It also allows the blade to flex more and for use with less bend. Less bend in turn reduces the friction and increases gliding capabilities at higher speeds.   BENEFITS: No bending change More stable feeling Better dynamics Quick blade change More customization options (spacing/center of pressure and flex) Fo
