FR FR3 Inline Skates

FR3 skates are undoubtedly the best bang for the buck option among FR line of skates. They are the youngest addition to line-up of FR models and fill a rather significant cost and features gap between between FRX and FR2. The easiest way to describe what they are is to say that these are slightly upgraded FRX, however in two key areas, one of which is very important.

The first noticeable thing when compared to FRX is 45 degree buckle instead of velcro. But the biggest change is hidden underneath the boot – the aluminum energy transfer plates, which cheaper model lacks. These are exactly the same ones as in FR2 and FR1 and come with multiple holes for screws, giving excellent frame compatibility and adjustment options. Frame itself is still a gravity casted X2R model, like in FRX, which is pretty good choice for beginners thanks to adjustable rockering. Skates come with Street Kings wheesl, which are also used in FRX. There's no cuff canting option either, but seeing that you can equip these skates with FR Custom kits, it is possible to uprade to a fully featured FR boot later on!

Like other skates of FR line, FR3 are based around rigid hardboot made out of durable material. The shell itself has been cut more open than usual in skates of such design – it improves comfort, especially for user with high instep. If you want to enter a world of freeskating without paying premium money for one of flagship models, the FR3 are one of the best, if not the best, choices around. Having (almost) the same boot as FR2 and FR1, they are also a better option for future upgrades than FRX.
