Powerslide Imperial Supercruiser 110mm Skates 

The Imperial Supercruiser 110 triskate with its red chrome plated shell is an eyecatcher, but at the same time it’s a real commuter skate taking you easily and with style from A to B. This skate is made for transportation, cruising, speed or just for having fun. The Imperial Supercruiser comes with 110mm high performance PU-wheels and ABEC 9 bearings from WICKED, a really cool setup with no doubt!

Shell: Imperial
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 in the aftermarket which are ALL heat mouldable.

The Imperial skate features round laces which tighten 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: AL Unity 1pc; 255mm; 3x100mm
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 Infinity; 110mm/85A
This skate is equipped with Powerslide “Infinity” 110mm / 85A Super High Rebound performance wheels with a strong and unique 6-spoke core, perfect shape and profile for an excellent push and stride. This wheel is based on the well known Powerslide “Infinity” wheel. A nice amount of PU over the core to take away shocks and vibrations of the roads, but thanks to the long lasting and super high rebound Urethane these wheels are fast and grippy also at higher speed. The wheel offers overall performance.


Bearings: WCD ABEC 9
WICKED (WCD) is a new high end bearing brand specialized for all kinds of rollsport. 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. WCD ABEC 9 Freespin bearings have a very good and smooth freespin. The bearing contains 7 chrome steel bearings and a light weight but resistant nylon cage.
