Just because you have a tight budget doesn’t mean that you can’t buy a high performance FSK skate.  This is Powerslide and Seba’s latest idea:

How to provide low budget skaters with high performance skates that promise to be really incredible skates at a low cost, just by saving on small details.

Powerslide Metro FSK

The Powerslide Metro FSK is Powerslide’s answer to the demand for a hard shell boot that provides comfort and stability for high performance skating.

Description:

Frame: Aluminium 243mm with Thorx screws

Wheels: FSK syndicate 80mm 84A

Bearings: Powerslide ABEC7

Boot: Sifika Chicago with heel shock absorber.

• Composite Shell
• X-Slot mounting
• Mesh Material with reinforced outsole
• Anatomical ankle padding

This is a very stable, good for both slalom and freeskating, highly manoeuvrable skate. Powerslide’s way of telling us that low budget skaters can also have a very good FSK without spending a fortune.

Pros

• Comfortable high performance liner.
• X-Slot mounting and single axles.
• Special ABEC 7 bearings with Freespin technology.

Cons

• A None UFS Frame.
• Other tools than the usual for Thorx screws.
• No lateral protections.

Seba FRX

FR1 little brother has the same boot as the Seba FR1 except for the movable cuffs; the 45 degree mid strap is Velcro instead of a buckle and the frames are of lower grade aluminium than the FR1 6000 aluminium frames.

Description

Boot: Plastic with lateral protections

Frame: Aluminium 243mm

Wheels: Seba 80mm 85A grey

Bearings: ABEC 5

Pros

• Easily replaceable Velcro strap.

Cons

• None movable cuffs.

An ideal skate for skaters who want the comfort and performance of an FR1 and FR2 skate with a lower budget.
