Bauer Nexus E40 Intermediate Hockey Stick

Intro & New Features

The Nexus E40 looks to offer some high-performance features to take your game to the next level in 2024. The stick has a mid-level price point and is equipped with an ER spine, Dualcell core technology, and a unidirectional carbon weave.

Stick Flex Profile

The Nexus line is officially taking the full mid-kick spot of Bauer hockey sticks, which they previously shared with Supreme. A mid-kick is a solid stick for players who often find themselves doing just a bit of everything during the game. The Nexus E40 is ideal for those who want both big shots and a reliable release. The mid kick is made to be versatile in all aspects on the ice.

Shaft Construction & Stiffness

A big contributor to the overall weight reduction on the mid-level E40 stick is the use of carbon fibre throughout most of the stick, including both the shaft and the blade. Unidirectional carbon is a stronger construction than standard woven fibre and helps the stick keep a 440g weight (SR).

For this iteration of Nexus sticks, Bauer has elected to include their ER spine technology across all levels, from pro to recreational. This is because the line emphasizes control and power, and the ER spine—a hexagonal shaft geometry—has always been a major contributor to that characteristic at the highest level. Bauer’s commitment to enhancing the play of all players across all levels has made the inclusion of this tech natural into the new Nexus line.

Blade Construction

The stick at this price point now uses Bauer’s Cellcore core technology. This tech involves dual-density foams in the core, with softer foam on the bottom and lighter foam on the top. The setup makes it easier to handle while enhancing the overall feel of the stick as you play. The E40 stick has also been constructed with 100% carbon fiber in the blade.
