Powerslide Imperial Megacruiser 125mm Skates

The Imperial Megacruiser 125 triskate is the all in one skate: pure adrenalin, pure fun, pure speed and pure agility. Exploring the city was never easier and faster. The rigid hardshell provides perfect stability. The Imperial Megacruiser is born to skate fast with style.

Shell/Cuff: Fiberglass reinforced composite; X-Slot Mounting System
The shell of the Imperial skate is made of composite material, which is reinforced with 15% fiberglass to make the shell strong and stiff. The base of the mounting blocks is big and wide which provides a large contact area between the frame and boot.
The cuff was designed with support in mind. It is made out of a special composite compound that is super stiff thanks to the 15% fiberglass, which was mixed into the material.


Liner: My Fit Fat Boy Medium
This skate is equipped with the MY FIT “Fat Boy” liner. This liner is a real masterpiece. The last was created by Sergio Mc Cargo, the No.1 shoemaker in the inline skating world. The liner is fully lasted. It has a perfect shape and fit, it wraps around your foot like a sock. The liner can be heat moulded at around 80° C in an oven or with a strong hair dryer in order to customize the fitting. The liner has a unique 3 layer padding consisting of heat mouldable foams, EVA foam and additional 3-D foam in the ankle area for a perfect ankle and heel lock to increase support during every stride. Under the lining we added soft sponge foam for extra comfort and support. On the outside the padding is kept in shape with a special heat mouldable thermo sheet. The liner is light and also features a dual density innersole and a carrying strap. Powerslide offers different MY FIT liner for aftermarket sales which are ALL heat mouldable.

The Imperial skate features round laces which wrap well. There are two buckles – one placed at 45° to keep the heel in place, the other one on top of the cuff for a secure wrap.

Frame: Unity Megacruiser 1 pc; 10.0”; 255mm
This patent pending 3-D embossed one piece Urban frame is made of 6063 aircraft aluminium. The 3-D structure of the frame provides stiffness and reactivity. The short base with the center wheel acting like a turning point makes the frame very agile – just perfect to cruise around the city. The Urban frame comes with a 165mm mounting standard. The combination of the across slot in the frame and the along slot in our boots is called the X-Slot Mounting. This system enables you to adjust the boot-frame setup without any dead spots according to your skating style and preferences.

Wheels: Powerslide Megacruiser; 125mm, 85A
Powerslide Megacruiser 125mm wheels are MD Super High Rebound (MDSHR) wheels. The pleasurethane PU compound gives the skater all they need – super fast roll, good grip, long lifetime. The 7-spoke hub is very strong and durable. The wheels come in a 85A hardness which is a great compromise of speed, grip and shock absorption. The wheel scores with its great overall performance even at high speed.


Bearings: Wicked Abec 9 Freespin

WCD is made of the best available raw materials and crafted with high quality to guarantee a fast and smooth ride but also long lifetime.
