Iqon

The IQON brand, a part of Disroyal company, is a new, strong player in the market of skates, frames, wheels and bearings. IQON puts quality first: they make only premium products. But that’s not all – German brand does not hesitate to introduce ideas once deemed too crazy to went into production.

For example, Decode frames lack bearing bosses (spacers) in between frame walls and bearings. This allows designers to place axles wherever they want. The trade-off is that these frames require dedicated, proprietary Decode bearings, however, their versatility is simply unmatched. Even the shortest version allows for four different wheel setups, some of which can be both flat or rockered.

What would you say about having environmentally friendly wheels? Apart from classic IQON line of wheels, the brand also offers ones made out of recycled materials and with addition of cornstarch to reduce amount of oil-derived polyurethane. Apart from that, company makes high quality skates, both urban and aggressive.

It is worth to note that Disroyal has been founded by Matthias Knoll, one of Powerslide owners. He gathered a team of some most talented people in blading to create a truly exceptional brand. IQON itself is attracting more and more skaters – the first big name in the sport to make a jump across was Montre Livingston, who switched teams after years of cooperation with USD brand.
