Speed Skate Frames

Speed Skate Frames: Engineered for Velocity

Everyone understands that speed skating aims to achieve the utmost speed. Inline speed skate frames are crafted to help you attain these impressive speeds, enhancing your overall performance. Constructed from stiff, lightweight materials like aluminium, they ensure optimal power transfer from your feet to the ground.

The distinction between speed skate frames and standard inline skating frames lies in their low centre of gravity and extended wheelbase. This design not only gives speed skates their characteristic appearance, but also boosts your stability and control when skating at high speed. Since speed skating requires large wheels, these frames are designed to accommodate them, with many being suitable for 125 mm wheels.

Positioning Your Inline Speed Skate Frames

To achieve peak performance and power from your inline skates, ensuring your frames are aligned properly is essential. Ultimately, aligning your frames is a matter of personal preference—what seems ideal for one skater may not work for another.

If you're encountering issues with alignment, start by centring the frame with the heel of the boot, and do the same with the front of the boot. Then, take a brief skating session to test the feel. Should it feel unstable, adjust the frame in the direction of the discomfort. The goal is to keep experimenting until your skates offer the same comfort as wearing ordinary shoes.
