Speed Skate Frames
Speed Skate Frames: Engineered for Velocity
Everyone understands that speed skating aims to achieve the fastest pace possible. Inline speed skate frames are crafted to help you reach these high velocities and enhance your performance. Constructed from sturdy yet lightweight materials like aluminium, they enable optimal power transfer from your feet to the ground.
Speed skate frames stand out from regular inline skating frames due to their low centre of gravity and extended wheelbase. This design not only gives speed skates a unique appearance but also boosts stability and control when skating swiftly. Since speed skating employs large wheels, the frames are designed to accommodate them, with many fitting wheels up to 125 mm.
Setting Up Your Inline Speed Skate Frames
To maximize performance and power from your inline skates, proper frame alignment is essential. Frame alignment is a personal choice—what suits one skater may not suit another.
If encountering alignment challenges, initially centre the frame with the heel of the boot, then align the front. Afterwards, go for a brief skate to assess the feel. Should it feel unstable, adjust the frame in the direction of the discomfort. Keep experimenting until your skates offer the same comfort as ordinary footwear.
