What Are Speed Skates?

Inline speed skates are crafted for confident and seasoned skaters aiming to achieve maximum speed. These skates prioritize speed and performance over comfort. They are distinguished by their large wheels and frames that extend beyond the boot. This design facilitates quicker acceleration to higher speeds.

Speed roller skates are snug with minimal padding, featuring an ultra-stiff design that ensures excellent power transfer. Inline speed skates are also lengthier compared to other skate types. This design enhances stability and enables the skater to attain higher speeds. Additionally, the low-cut ankle boot offers a shoe-like appearance and promotes superior motion and power transfer.

What Inline Speed Skates Should I Choose?

When selecting your skates, it is crucial to choose a pair with a tight, snug fit. Although the boots come with wheels, many skaters prefer to customize them according to their style. Wheel sizes typically range from 90mm to 125mm, allowing you to select based on your preference.

Inline speed skates are generally used for racing over shorter distances. If you plan to travel longer distances, you might consider a pair of Endurance Skates. Similarly, if you prefer traveling at a steadier pace, check out our Inline Skates suitable for fitness and recreational skating.
