Skate inline with nature. The shell and cuff of this model utilize bioplastics with renewable raw materials that help safeguard the environment without sacrificing performance.
Since these skates and the Aggressive line of RB skates share the same boot shell. You can convert these blades to an aggressive setup fairly easy. All you need is some RB Solo Soulplates and an Aggressive Frame setup. You will have to drill new holes for the Soulplate mounting hardware. Attach your Souplates and Aggressive Frame setup and boom, you now have an Aggressive Skate.
The Frames: Aluminum Fusion 84 Frame
The Aluminum Fusion 84 Frame is what comes stock on these blades. Solid one piece aluminum mold, with 8mm racing style axels. These axels are threading into the frame creating a solid bond through the frame setup.
You can ride up to 84mm wheels flat in these bad boys, big enough so cruising around the city will be a breeze.
The built in aluminum frame spacers, have you ever noticed you can’t tighten your axle all the way without it restricting your wheel from spinning? That’s because after time the built in plastic frame spacers start to mushroom over putting pressure on the outer shield of the bearing stopping it from rolling without restrictions. But metal frame spacers solve this problem, you can tighten your axle up all the way, and still have a frictionless free spin. A huge plus to these frames if you ask me.
The Wheels: Rollerblade Active 84mm/84A Wheels
These wheels are an 84mm size, biggest you can fit in this frame. You want to put the biggest possible wheel in your frame setup just so you’ll get the most life out of your wheels. 84A hardness is a little on the harder size compared to most recreational wheels, so you’ll get more durability out of them. Spoked wheel hub reduces overall weight and increases shock absorption. Rollerblade really dialed in their outdoor wheel urethane to bring you a quality wheel for your skates.
SG bearings are the evolution of bearing technology and include high quality materials, a more precise tolerance and a mixture of silicone and grease lubricants for improved durability. In addition, the mixture also produces significantly less resistance inside the bearing and the silicon additive repels water and protects against dirt and debris. Shallow raceways for maximum speed and performance. High-Quality 52100 chrome steel to ensure long life and durability. Leaps and bounds better than a normal Abec rated Generic Bearing.
The Liner: Rollerblade Fusion Liner
Medium amount of padding, not too thin, not too thick. The ideal construction for this style skate. Expect the fit to be a little tight at first, and that is very normal and a good thing for a pair of skates that are sized correctly. After a week or so of skating, the liner will break in and form to your foot, giving you a lot more room than you started out with. Just something to keep in mind.
Features:
5 Star Fit
Neoprene Toe
Carrying Strap
Elastic strap across the top
Specialized Insole
Slight V-Cut
Felt out sole to increase boot grip
Heel Pads: Rollerblade Estilo Heel pad
This is Rollerblades signature heel pad for their Estilo style shell. The grooves on the bottom of the heel pad lock into the bottom of the boot, preventing it from slipping forward while skating. Poly Urethane shock absorbing material. Over 1/2 inch thick to reduce the heel impact that will happen from taking big drops or gaps.
