Speed Skate Frames

Speed Skate Frames: Crafted for Velocity

Everyone knows that the goal of speed skating is to skate at the fastest possible pace. Inline speed skate frames are specifically crafted to help you achieve these impressive speeds and enhance your performance. Made from lightweight, rigid materials like aluminium, they ensure optimal power transfer from your feet to the ground.

What sets speed skate frames apart from standard inline skating frames is their low centre of gravity and extensive wheelbase. This design not only provides speed skates with their unique appearance but also enhances your stability and control when skating at high speeds. Given the large size of wheels used for speed skating, the frames are constructed to accommodate them, with many designed to fit 125 mm wheels.

Positioning Your Inline Speed Skate Frames

To achieve peak performance and power from your inline skates, it's essential to ensure your frames are positioned correctly. Aligning your frames is largely a matter of personal choice—what works best for one skater may not suit another.

If alignment issues arise, the initial step is to centre the frame with the heel of the boot and do the same with the front. Next, have a brief skating session to assess the comfort level. If instability is felt, adjust the frame in the same direction as the uneasy sensation. The aim is to keep adjusting until your skates provide the comfort level akin to wearing casual shoes.
