The Ribcor 86K features a C6 weave on the blade, which was developed using state-of-the-art design tools to dramatically reduce weight without sacrificing durability. This allows the blade to be strong without feeling too heavy.

With the Ribcor 86K shaft design, CCM is using its popular shaft E-Geometry that is usually only seen on higher models. This advanced ergonomic construction was designed by the CCM Performance Lab in collaboration with some of the best hockey players in the world. It is designed to offer perfect energy transfer to maximize release speed. Starting at the top of the shaft, you'll find a rounded concave design that allows for advanced comfort and control. As you move toward the midshaft, you'll find a rounded convex back paired with a square-cornered concave front, maximizing dexterity and control.

To help make the Ribcor 86K a quick release club, CCM is using a low kick point at the bottom of the shaft, just above the blade. This breakout point maximizes the load while driving that ultra-quick release.

Going back to the Ribcor 86K sheet, CCM has included their C6 fabric throughout the sheet. This weave helps keep the blade durable without sacrificing feel and control. The blade is a peel-ply Ascent Blade 2, which has an optimized stiffness profile that goes from softer at the heel to stiffer at the toe, for greater puck feel and quick release.
