Inline Speed Skates

Understanding Speed Skates

Inline speed skates cater to experienced skaters aiming for maximum speed. They're tailored more for speed and performance than for comfort. These skates stand out due to their large wheels and frames that extend longer than the boot, allowing users to achieve higher speeds more swiftly.

The snug fit and minimal padding of speed roller skates ensure efficient power transfer due to their rigid structure. Unlike other skate types, inline speed skates are longer, offering greater stability and enabling higher speed attainment. The low-cut ankle boot resembles a shoe, facilitating excellent movement and power transfer.

Selecting Your Inline Speed Skates

It’s crucial to choose skates that fit tightly and comfortably. While boots come with wheels, many enthusiasts opt to personalize them to suit their preferences. Wheel sizes generally range from 90mm to 125mm, and the choice depends on your liking.

Typically employed for racing shorter distances, inline speed skates might not be ideal for longer journeys. If you plan on covering more extended distances, consider a pair of Endurance Skates. For a more leisurely pace, explore our Inline Skates designed for fitness and leisure skating.
