Product details
After FR Skates have branched out of Seba, the newly formed brand had a visible hole in their catalogue; their only freestyle slalom skates were pro models of Igor and Daria. The skates like Seba High Light Carbon and Trix were left on Seba’s side of the fence. To fill this niche, FR Skates have created SL line of models. These high-end carbon skates come in several configurations: same boot, different framesets. There is something to like for both freestyle slalom and freeride fans. Furthermore, three out of total six SL models come with carbon frames – something you won’t get anywhere else in the world of freeskating.
No matter the skate version, the boot is the same and it is truly a remarkable piece of skating gear. Superlight (hence the name) and high quality, it uses the same template as Daria pro-model. The shell is made entirely out of carbon, have integrated padding and is wrapped up in resistant, strong skin. Inside of the boot you’ll find an ergonomically shaped insole with arch support. The skate cuff is also made from carbon and have superb support – you can even get away with barely buckling it.
Even though they look delicate, SL are full fat freeride skates. The boot is protected with rubber-like patch on the side and a cover in toe area – these prevent the damage during falls and tricks. The carbon shell is very resistant, as to be expected.
The boot is super light, responsive and wraps around the foot providing a close, tight fit. The heel is perfectly locked in place – FR Skates made sure that SLs are great performers with best possible energy transfer and movement precision. You can lace the skate to the very top of the cuff area and as expected in freestyle skates, there’s additional strap in toe area to give even better control there. Two micrometric buckles reduce any leftover room and contribute to overall stiffness.
The frame used in SL 80 is V3 iteration of well-known Deluxe model, one that served as a gold standard in freestyle frames for over a decade. It measures 243mm and fits four wheels in flat setup. This SL setup is tuned towards people looking for better grip and stability for urban skating. However, it is technically possible to skate slalom on those – just set them up with old-school banana rocker (76-80-80-76) and you are good to go. As in every FR Skates model, the mounting standard is 165mm and the boot is compatible with most of such frames out there.
The stock wheels are a match for the rest of the skate in terms of quality. These are Freestyle Xfirm wheels from world-famous brand MPC. It’s truly an upper shelf of wheels for freeskating.
Bearings are no joke either, as skates come with ILQ9 Slalom Pro made by Twincam. These are the go-for stock bearings in top of the line FR Skates models and as far as steel bearings go, one of the best on the market.
To sum it up: SL 80 are one of the highest spec models for freeskating money can buy. They will excel at dynamic urban skating, slides and jumps. Even though triskates took the world by storm, plenty of people are still loyal to proven 4x80 setup and this skate is made for them. It is also possible to do freestyle slalom in these, although we recommend their sibling, SL Freestyle, for that – even though the difference is (literally) only the frame with rockering.
About manufacturer
FR Skates is second brand created by freestyle slalom legend, Sebastien Laffargue. It branched off from Seba in second half of year 2016 and includes mostly the freeskating range of skates taken from the predecessor, namely the FR line of skates. However, Sebastien has decided to take some of high-end freestyle slalom skates under new brand, like the highly regarded Igor for example. Thus, FR Skates have become a flagship brand of its creator and can be considered an aggregation of best products and ideas released under Seba label up to year 2016. It doesn’t mean that lower price offerings haven’t made the cut – the extremely popular entry level FRX are still available!
FR Skates continues Seba legacy of quality, wide availability of parts and innovation. Sebastien and his pals have hands full of work and try to push the sport in to new directions with FR Skates. It’s worth to mention an innovative concept of 90-72-72-90 freestyle slalom frames or that they’ve delivered a wide range of UFS based freeskating frames. The brand even makes super light and extra stiff full carbon frames – of course, it’s not the first company to make frames out of this material, but the first to use the technology to make frames for cone slalom.
FR Skates brand gains momentum with every new product and is on the way to eclipse achievements of its precursor, Seba. They truly have something for every freeskating or freestyle slalom enthusiast – be it solid entry level skates for newcomers, models for those who demand a lot from the equipment, people who like unconventional hardware and those who prefer sticking with classic setups.
