Inline Speed Skates

Understanding Speed Skates

Inline speed skates cater to skilled skaters eager to maximise their velocity. Unlike comfort-oriented designs, these skates prioritise speed and performance. They are distinguished by their large wheels and frames extending beyond the boots, which facilitate rapid acceleration.

These skates are closely fitted with minimal padding, and this extremely stiff design ensures excellent power transfer. Inline speed skates also exceed the length of conventional skate types, offering greater stability and enabling faster speeds. Furthermore, the low-cut ankle boot resembles a shoe and enhances mobility and power transfer.

How to Choose Your Inline Speed Skates

When selecting your skates, it’s crucial to ensure a tight, precise fit. Although the boots are sold with wheels, many skaters prefer to personalise them according to their preferences. Wheel sizes typically range from 90mm to 125mm, allowing you to choose your preferred size.

Inline speed skates are primarily intended for racing over short distances. If longer journeys appeal to you, consider a pair of Endurance Skates. Similarly, for a more moderate speed, explore our Inline Skates, suitable for fitness and leisure skating.
