The FXX wheels will be available for pre-sale, giving skating enthusiasts the chance to get their hands on a set before they sell out. Shipping late March.
The Bont FXX roller derby and speed skating roller skate wheels are lightweight performance wheels that feature high-quality urethane and an aluminum hub for the ultimate combination of grip and roll. Made with the best urethane in USA, the FXX uses a technical 5-spoke hub for lightweight, premium performance. The aluminum hub allows for unparalleled stiffness and control, which translates to brilliant edging and maximum agility.
The FXX comes in 2 hardnesses 92a and 96a, with amazing rebound and wear properties. They are super fast and phenomenally grippy while still allowing you to skid to a stop instantly. The 59x38mm size lets you change speeds quicker, making them the perfect choice for derby skating. The 62x44mm size gives you a larger surface for longer pushes for maximum power, making them the best choice for speed skating.
Drawing on our inline speed skating wheel that has won multiple inline world championships, we used one of our top inline speed wheel formulas on the FXX and adapted it for roller skating. This is unheard of in a roller skate wheel. No one uses the best inline racing formulas in roller skate wheels. When we spoke to wheel makers about using a top inline formula in a roller skate wheel this is what they said: 'It will cost too much, roller skaters don't want to pay over $200 for a set of wheels no matter how good they are'. 'Roller skaters can't tell the difference between a high-end or low-end urethane'. And 'our standard high-end roller skate urethane is good enough'. We said 'screw that' and started testing wheels using more exotic urethanes previously only reserved for inline racers. The result, in our opinion, is the best mass-produced roller skate wheel ever made. We are sure you will appreciate the effort that we put in to bring this wheel to market.
Note: The Street Flow is not an outdoor road wheel, it's designed for skaters who prefer skating open street skate parks, DIY spots, halfpipes and bowls. You can use to skate on the road but it is not as smooth as skating with a soft 78a - 85a outdoor wheel.
Bont Skates has a long history of producing high-quality roller skate wheels. We took our extensive knowledge of producing the best inline speed skating wheels and roller derby wheels in the world and applied them to a park and street wheel for this project. The Bont ParkStars team is a team of the best park skaters all over the world. They tested a number of prototypes and formulas to come up with the best park wheel on the market.
