Understand Inline Skate Frame

Skate Frame

Most common are plastic frames, aluminium frames and extruded aluminium frames. Lets now decide which frame is best for you.

Aluminium Frame

• More rigid. Allowing better power transfer from boot to wheels.
• More durable. Metal will not bend as much under pressure and weight

Extruded Aluminium Frame

• Extruded Frame is a reinforced one piece frame increasing rigidness for an even more powerful skate experience
• Highly customizable

Plastic Frame

• Lightweight
• Plastic bends more, thus under weight, it keeps the user lower to the ground
• Easier to control since the power transfer is lower

Below is a generic chart to help you decide base on the user's characteristics:
