Aggressive Skates Frames / UFS Frames

Aggressive Inline Frames Crafted for Grinding

Aggressive frames constitute a crucial element of your setup. They not only secure the wheels but are also the surfaces you utilise for grinding – an essential aspect of the sport. Typically, these frames are manufactured from robust plastics to withstand the significant impacts associated with grinding.

All aggressive frames are designed to accommodate the Universal Frame System (UFS) for mounting, ensuring compatibility with any aggressive boots, irrespective of the brand. UFS frames make personalising your aggressive skate far more straightforward and convenient.

Various Types of Aggressive Skate Frames

You will encounter numerous designs for aggressive inline skate frames, with the three principal types being anti-rocker, flat, and freestyle.

Anti-Rocker

Anti-rocker frames take the lead in terms of popularity and are typically recommended for newcomers to aggressive skating. In this configuration, four wheels are affixed to each frame, but the two centre wheels are smaller and constructed from hard plastic. This layout leaves ample space for a substantial groove in the centre to facilitate grinding.

Flat

Flat frames are designed to support four wheels of identical size. Unlike an anti-rocker setup, all the wheels make contact with the ground. This configuration provides superior handling among setups and is ideal for bowl skating and skating transitions. Since your weight is evenly distributed, your wheels are also likely to be more durable.

Freestyle

Freestyle frames are distinctive for having only two wheels per foot, creating a large groove in the centre. This design makes these frames optimal for grinding, ensuring you avoid wheel bite. With freestyle frames, you have the ability to grind over a more extensive array of obstacles.

Whichever frame style you choose, it's vital that it accommodates your wheels adequately. If you're searching for a new set of wheels for your aggressive setup, visit our Aggressive Skate Wheels page.
