The advantages of 110mm wheels

Big wheels are a trend in rollerblading. Discover the reasons in this article and the latest Vlog from SkatePro team rider Anders Hauerholt.

In recent years, triskates like the Roces X35 rollerblades have become more common on the streets. With this new and popular type of skates, 110mm and 125mm wheels have also made their way into the inline skating scene.

There’s a reason why large inline skate wheels have gained popularity. They offer significantly more speed. A larger wheel can generate more energy, thus providing greater potential for high speeds compared to smaller wheels. Larger wheels such as 100mm, 110mm, and 125mm also maintain their speed for a longer duration.

This makes them a true energy saver when it comes to sustaining speed—exactly what you need for long-distance events like the Berlin Marathon.

No more uneven surfaces

If you've worn rollerskates before, you might know that rough surfaces, twigs, gravel, and stones can be quite a hassle. The good news is that wheels with a larger diameter can traverse almost any surface and obstacle, still providing a smooth ride.

In this video, Anders tests his triskates as he races through Malaga, Spain on various surfaces, including gravel. Check out the video above to see how it went.
