Inline Speed Skates
What Are Speed Skates?
Inline speed skates cater to proficient and adept skaters who aspire to glide at maximum velocity. These skates are crafted with a focus on speed and performance rather than comfort. They stand out due to their large wheels and frames that extend beyond the boot. This configuration aids in rapidly attaining elevated speeds.
Speed roller skates feature a tight fit with minimal padding. This extremely rigid setup facilitates excellent power transfer. Additionally, inline speed skates have a greater length compared to other skate types, offering enhanced stability and enabling higher speeds. The lower-cut ankle boot resembles a shoe and supports substantial motion and power transfer.
How to Select Your Inline Speed Skates
It is crucial to choose skates that provide a snug and secure fit. Although your boots will include wheels upon purchase, many skaters prefer customising them to reflect their personal style. Wheel sizes typically range from 90mm to 125mm, so the choice is yours.
Inline speed skates are predominantly used for racing over shorter distances. If your aim is to cover longer distances, you might consider investing in a pair of Endurance Skates. Similarly, for a more leisurely pace, explore our Inline Skates suitable for fitness and casual skating.
