FR1 80 Deluxe Intuition skates 22
Continuation of one of the most valued brands in the freeskating and freestyle slalom segment - Seba. After years of experimenting with different varieties of inline skating equipment, from aggressive to fitness to speed skating, the French at Universkate have redefined their product line. FR Skates focuses on what has always been at the core of the Seba range - solid freeride skates and high-end freestyle slalom models.
Models from the FR1 series have set the technological standards for urban skates for over a decade, and even today they are ahead of most models of the competition. The FR1 model is definitely one of the most recognizable freeskates in history, enjoying unflagging popularity for over a dozen years. The Deluxe version, on the other hand, is the best version ever released - thanks to a partnership with Intuition, a company that produces world-renowned inner shoes for inline skating, water sports and winter sports, the skates that provide the liner used in this model were created.
The skates are based on a rigid shell made of resistant plastic, with a number of amenities that will be appreciated by every skater. The shell itself has been cut a bit more than is usually found on this class of skates, which increases comfort, especially for people with a high arch.
Starting at the top of the shoe, we have an upper with the most modifiable adjustment system of any skate on the market today. As many as 16 possible settings allow you to eliminate problems with bending the legs at the ankles, and also allows you to choose the right upper height for the user. The FR skates were also one of the first models to introduce a removable slider, i.e. protection of the side of the shoe aimed at minimizing its damage while sliding on the wheels. Naturally, this element is also present in the latest edition of FR1.
Another characteristic feature are metal blocks embedded in the bottom of the shoe shell at the points that attach the rail. First of all, they allow you to adjust the position of the rail - each plate has 7 threaded holes for the bolt. What is more, they stiffen the connection of the rail and the shoe, significantly contributing to the improvement of the energy transfer to the wheels. The spacing of the mounting points is 165mm and the shoes are compatible with most models of frames in this standard - including three-wheeled ones, which are easier to install due to a special recess at the front plate, preventing the first wheel from rubbing against the shell.
Inside the FR1 Deluxe shell we find the Intuition liner - a world-famous liner, characterized by exceptional durability, ankle support, foot support and comfort. This liner has a number of amenities - a binding system, a removable overlay stiffening the ankle area, rubber-coated points to prevent the liner from moving in the shell, and is also thermoformable. Not only that - the Intuition Skate liner was designed with the FR shell in mind, thanks to which it is often possible to downsize: descend a shell size lower than in the FR with a traditional liner. This results in a better fit, and hence - control and energy transfer. Being aware of this advantage, FR Skates changed the size of the Deluxe model - that's why, if
