Inline Speed skates

Understanding Speed skates

Crafted for proficient skaters, inline speed skates aim to maximise velocity. These skates prioritise speed and efficiency over comfort. Their defining traits include large wheels and frames that extend beyond the boot, a design that facilitates rapid acceleration.

Speed roller skates feature a snug fit with minimal cushioning, enhancing power transfer through their rigid build. Compared to other skates, inline speed skates are also longer, providing added stability and enabling greater speeds. The lower-cut ankle boot resembles a shoe and accommodates excellent movement and power transfer.

Selecting Your Inline Speed skates

It is crucial to select a skate that fits tightly and comfortably. While boots are sold with wheels included, skaters often prefer to customise them to suit their personal style. Wheel sizes vary typically from 90mm to 125mm, allowing personal choice in selection.

These skates are commonly used for shorter distance racing. If your interest lies in long-distance skating, consider acquiring a pair of Endurance Skates. For those preferring a more leisurely pace, explore our Inline skates, ideal for fitness and recreational activities.
