What Are Speed Skates?

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

Speed roller skates are snug with minimal padding, and this ultra-stiff design ensures excellent power transfer. Inline speed skates are also longer than other skate types, providing enhanced stability and enabling higher speeds. The lower-cut ankle boot offers a shoe-like appearance and allows for superior motion and power transfer.

What Inline Speed Skates Should I Choose?

When selecting your skates, it's crucial to choose ones with a tight, snug fit. While the boots come with wheels, many skaters prefer to customize them to suit their style. Wheel sizes typically range from 90mm to 125mm, and the choice is yours.

Inline speed skates are generally used for short-distance racing. If you plan to cover longer distances, consider a pair of Endurance Skates. For a steadier pace, explore our Inline Skates suitable for fitness and recreational skating.
