NEO represents the new generation of Freeride/Urban inline skates.
The primary goal during the design of the FR NEO skates was to introduce a new and improved urban skating experience.
All models in the NEO skate collection have been designed with a focus on freedom of movement, optimal comfort, and the best skating experience. Thanks to the new NEO shell construction, you will experience an optimized fit that will make your skates feel like a natural extension of your body.
Their lowered center of gravity, natural flexibility, and individual fit will allow you to move freely and achieve unparalleled flow in your skating.
At the launch of the FR NEO skate collection, we find 3 models:
- Neo 2 80 - The basic model provides the perfect combination of ankle support and forward/backward flex freedom.
- Neo 2 Dual 310 - A stylish three-wheel model with a shell made of two types of plastic for better fit and greater comfort.
- Neo 1 Dual 80 Intution - The flagship model equipped with a shell made of two types of plastic, an Intuition liner, and a super stiff and lightweight frame.
To facilitate the choice between the different models of FR Neo skates, we present a comparison of their technical specifications:
| Neo 2 80 | Neo 2 Dual 310 | Neo 1 Dual 80 Intution | |
| Top Buckle | Plastic FK2P | Plastic FK2P | Metal |
| 45 Buckle | FR Double Strap / FR Ratchet Buckle | FR Double Strap / FR Ratchet Buckle | FR Double Strap / FR Ratchet Buckle |

Additionally, specifically for the new model, they have introduced Neo and Neo Intuition liners, new NEO D and NEO C frames, and NEO SI wheels.
We can confidently state that this provides a vast array of configuration possibilities and lays the base for many more models to come – eagerly awaited!
Before making a purchase, it's worth consulting the size chart:
| Size [EU] | 36 | 37 | 38 | 39 | 40 | 41 | 42 | 43 | 44 | 45 | 46 |
| Size [US] | 4,5 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 7,5 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 10,5 | 11 | 12 |

It's worth noting the difference in Mondopoint sizing for FR NEO skates with Intuition liners, especially for sizes 42 and above. The Intuition liner's design allows for "downsizing," meaning a larger liner can fit into a smaller shell. As a result, people with a Mondopoint foot size of 30-30.5 cm will find a suitable size (the Mondopoint sizing for the NEO liner version ends at 29.5 cm). Additionally, people with a Mondopoint size of 28.5-29 cm will be able to skate in a shell size of European 43-44, whereas for skates with the NEO liner, this shell size corresponds to European 45-46.
