FR Junk Freestyle MPC Inline Skate Wheels
2 itemsMearthane Products Corporation, more widely known as MPC, is a company located in Cranson (Rhode Island) USA. Did you know that it makes all sorts of polyurethane products, not just wheels? They are one of industry’s leaders when it comes to urethane compounds, having been in the business since year 1965. They have gathered experience in production of parts and other products for food production, automotive, heavy industry and even military. This is what makes them top tier specialists in the business and in turn, what makes MPC wheels so special.
MPC was the first company to ever produce a two layers wheel, with harder polyurethane blend on the outside and softer on the inside, solving a problem of low rebound in harder, more durable wheels. This has completely revolutionised speedskating and allowed athletes to reach new heights. Company is constantly improving their products, having some of best chemical scientist and industrial engineers working on them.
FR Junk Freestyle MPC is a collab of three companies: FR Skates, Junk Wheels and MPC. All of them are leading brands in their respective fields – freestyle and speed skating. Together they have created something special. New Junk Freestyle wheels use urethane blend called “Magic” – MPC’s best, in Xfirm hardness (medium hardness in MPC nomenclature). It delivers superb grip, roll and durability. New iHub5 has been also engineered from the scratch for these wheels, to make sure they’ll never de-core. Like all other MPC wheels, Junk Freestyle are made in USA.
This is FR Skates answer to likes of Undercover and Hydrogen – top tier freestyle slalom and freeskating wheels, made by one of industry’s best factories. They do not come cheap, but they are worth their asking price and then some.
