FR UFR 80 - Black Inline Skates

FR UFR 80 - Black inline skates for freeride skating

FR Skates focuses on solid freeride inline skates and high-class models for freestyle slalom. The FR UFR is a new addition to the freeskate family from the French brand FR Skates. At first glance, they look like the older, well-known models from the FR line, with a slightly remodelled heel. And this first impression is correct, because essentially, that's what they are.

Features of the FR UFR 80 - Black inline skates

• Stiff shell — made of durable material, with a range of conveniences that every user will appreciate. The shell itself is cut out a bit more than usual in skates of this class, increasing comfort, especially for people with high arches.
• Replaceable slider — protection on the side of the shoe designed to minimize damage during sliding.
• UFS mounting system — an additional block of plastic added under the heel designed for mounting frames in the UFS standard. Let's be honest, most freeskate skaters should opt for the “regular” FR – the new UFR is an offer for people with more specific needs.
• Dedicated Intuition liner — the highest-rated product of its kind on the market, offering quality at an incredibly high level. This version of the Intuition liner has been designed to better complement the FR shell.
• Plastic buckle

243 mm frames with flat setup 4x80 mm

The FR UFR 80 - Black inline skates are offered with a 4x80 mm wheel setup on the FR UFS Freeride 243 mm frame with flat setup of 4x 80 mm..  

• Wheels: 80 mm 85A
• Bearings: Twincam MW9 Freeride bearings

 The 4x80 version won’t surprise you. This skate is pretty similar to FR2 80 (without cuff canting) in terms of parts, but with UFS instead of SSM. If you prefer this mounting system, get them. The short 243 mm frame with 80 mm wheels is basically a “default” freeskating setup and has been one for over a decade, but there’s a reason for that. It is a classic – reasonably fast, agile and low to the ground.

FR UFR 80 - Black — worth knowing!

The new UFR range of freeskates is directed towards people who want to have an open upgrade path to street setup in the future, by having an option to mount soulplates, or ones who already have a preference for certain freeskating frames with UFS mounting. And let's not forget about the freeskating veterans. If you still cling to your Salomon FSK frames, then the UFR boots are undoubtedly one of the better options to build a great, functional inline skating set.
