Powerslide Swell Commuter
Best high-performance skates for intermediate fitness enthusiasts and urban commuters.
These skates bridge the gap between high-intensity fitness training and daily urban commuting. The large wheels and low-profile mounting system deliver incredible speed and stability, though the stiff, performance-oriented shell demands a break-in period before they truly feel like a second skin.

Key Specs
KEY TECHNOLOGIES
Trinity X Mounting
The combination of the 'along' mounting block of the boot with the 'across' mounting slot of the frame. This allows for frame adjustment both laterally (7mm) and front to back (8mm) to individual preference and/or to correct ankles from wanting to roll (pronation/supination). Trinity frames mount at three points with two off-set winged mounts under the ball of the foot that creates a channel for the wheels to lower the skate, adding stability and power at push-off.
KEY TECHNOLOGIES
HABS Height Adjustable Brake System
An easy and secure brake that allows for the brake pad to adjust up and down to prolong the life of the rubber. A rear axle that is threaded at both ends allows for the installation and removal of the brake with four outer screws that eliminate having to remove the axle or wheel.
KEY TECHNOLOGIES
3D Casted Frames
Perfectly shaped around the wheels to optimize the space. 3D construction enhances stiffness and power transfer to offer characteristics similar to those found in CNC machined frames.
