What Are Speed Skates?

Inline speed skates are crafted for confident and experienced skaters aiming for 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 helps you achieve higher speeds more quickly.

Speed roller skates are tight with minimal padding, and this ultra-stiff design facilitates excellent power transfer. Inline speed skates are also longer than other types of skates, providing more stability and enabling higher speeds. Additionally, the lower-cut ankle boot gives a shoe-like appearance and enhances motion and power transfer.

What Inline Speed Skates Should I Choose?

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

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