The Wheels: Rollerblade Hydrogen Wheels 58mm 88a The RB Hydrogen Wheels are new to the scene but are definitely packing some high quality urethane. Similar core and shape to some undercover wheels these have an awesome profile. The hydrogen formula make the wheels have a far superior grip compared to a lot of the wheels on the market. They also wear down a bit slower than normal wheels. Awesome wheels for the park or streets and the hydrogen formula makes for a great ride.

Coming ready to roll with SG9 bearings, SG stands for Skater Grade, these are leaps and bounds better than any Abec rated bearing. Rollerblade putting in legit bearings in their pro level skates.

Antirockers: Rollerblade Anti Rocker Wheels

The anti-rocker wheels this skate come setup up with are the best among the plastic, bearing-less style anti’s. These feature a thick surface, raising their durability over their competitors. Solid anti’s coming in the Blank Frames.

The Liners: Blank Liners

Plain and simple, Blank Liners rule. They’ve been the only liner I’ll ride for the past couple years since their birth. They have a moderate amount of padding, not crazy thick, not super thin. They work great in a wide variety of different skates. They have a small built in shock absorber under the heel. Lace up system all the way up, which helps keep your heel locked into the heel cup in the back of the liner, this vastly improves the responsiveness of the skate, with the closer to the foot feel. Also they have a large carrying strap on the back of the liner, not gonna be a super small finger pincher like most skates, you can comfortably carry both skates in one hand, such a crucial feature that a lot of liners and skates are missing. In my opinion these are the best liners on the market, and will soon be available for individual purchase from Blank. These new Solo’s feature the newest version of the blank liner which isn’t that much different than before. Some new materials on the side panels make these liners fit and feel even more comfy, while letting the liner breath better than before.

The Soulplates: Rollerblade Solo Sole PlatesThe new formula Rollerblade Solo Sole Plates are now much more durable, using a brand new improved plastic. These souls have a beefy backslide area, and with the hard material the souls are made out of, these offer a very fast grind on all surfaces. Each positive and negative plate are attach via a 4 point mounting system giving a solid bound between the skate and what your grinding.
