FR UFR Street Antony Pottier 2023 - White Inline Skates

FR UFR Street Antony Pottier 2023 - White aggressive inline skates 

FR UFR AP inline skates are models for aggressive skating by the french brand FR Skates. Endorsed by Anthony Pottier, a Belgian skater with numerous victories in international competitions like Winterclash and Blading Cup, they offer an ergonomic shell with a universal fit. The FR UFR AP skates are surprisingly good value for money, considering they come with dedicated Intuition liners.

Features of FR UFR Street Antony Pottier 2023 - White inline skates

The design of the UFR AP skates is, in short, a slightly modified shell of the popular FR freeride model (FR1, FR2, FR3, and FRX). The distinctive 'open' design is quite forgiving, making them a universally fitting model. The biggest difference is the block added under the heel. We can no longer fit frames designed for SSM mounting, but UFS-compatible ones fit.

• The skates look very neat and tidy even in larger sizes.
• The lacing system allows for lacing up to the very top, thanks to appropriately adapted liners with eyelets, which combined with a solid 45-degree Velcro strap will help secure the ankle and immobilize the heel properly.
• The UFR AP skate cuffs have a minimal V-cut (increasing the range of forward flex), additional buckle protection, and the possibility of trimming the 'arms' of the cuffs if we can't fasten them properly.

UFR Soulplate in FR inline skates

• The extensive soulplate — on both the negative and positive sides, made of hard material, has a fairly shallow but wide groove. Noticeably faster and more responsive than many other soulplates on the market.
• The ergonomic fit of this component to the skate's shell — Although we only mount it with UFS screws, their characteristic shape, matching the cutouts in the shell, provides a rigid base and prevents bending under heavier loads.

Dedicated Intuition Liner

The current edition of FR UFR AP skates features an improved, dedicated FR Intuition liner with a new tongue shape. A precise insert with low volume, providing appropriate ankle support and the durability known from Intuition products.

• Intuition liners in the UFR version do not have the option of a removable collar adjusting the thickness of the insert – this element is permanently attached to the liner.
• The possibility of thermoforming – a relatively simple way to achieve perfect fit at home. Since this is a modified version of the Intuition liner, specifically designed for UFR shells, its shape and volume differ from the V.2, Premium, or Themskates versions.

FR UFR Street Antony Pottier 2023 - worth knowing!

When mounting a UFS frame without using a soulplate, it will be attached directly to the boot, providing a lower center of gravity and thereby delivering the best possible freeride experience. Note that the manufacturer recommends using special spacers (links to silver and black versions).

Dedicated spacers will fill the UFS recesses, ensuring that even after tightening the screws, the shell and frame are not subjected to additional stress. In FR's range, we can find 4x80mm or 3x125mm UFS frames, but there's nothing stopping you from mounting your favorite frame from other brands. Remember, however, that the FR soulplate is not compatible with older FR skate shells (FR1, FR2, FR3, FRX).

The Boot Only version with popular Intuition liners is undeniably a low price point, which may encourage trying something new and is the biggest advantage of these skates.

The UFR AP skates are versatile equipment, based on proven solutions and excellent craftsmanship. The highly configurable shell can serve as aggressive skates or versatile urban skating equipment.
