Iqon CL Decode Pro 90 Combo - Dark Inline Skate Frames

If you haven’t heard about IQON brand yet, it’s a nigh time to get yourself familiar with it! The company is revolutionizing urban and street skating in front of our very own eyes, bringing fresh ideas and excellent execution.

All IQON Decode frames are made out of top-end 7003 series aircraft aluminum – a material rarely used in freeskating frames, where 6061 series alloy is more common. Truth to be told, 7003 series is most often found in best in class speedskating frames, where superb rigidity allows for decreased weight using a very minimalist design. Here, though, we have mostly solid walls, as weight is not a concern – this results in unbelievably strong frames.

Another thing about Decode line of frames is sheer variety of products. There are three different lengths to choose from, coming in three different frame mounting versions and every frame is available in at least two colour variants. Furthermore, no matter which one you pick, it allows you to use multiple wheel configurations.

The last thing noted is above is the “killer feature” which elevates Decode frames above competition. Up to this point, designers were limited by walls geometry when working on a new frame. To get around this, Decode frames walls are completely flat on the inner surface. If you wonder what about bearings bosses – there are none. Frames are meant to be used with Decode bearings. The inner bearing ring is extended to act as a spacer.

This is important: if you want to use Decode frames, you absolutely MUST have a set of Decode bearings! If you choose the Combo pack, you are getting a full set of Decode Gold bearings.

With built-in bearing bosses out of the way, designers didn’t need to worry about wheel urethane rubbing against them and were free to place axles anywhere they wanted. This gives us many options of wheel setups in a single frame.

Decode Pro 90 is a versatile frame for those who want to try a little bit of flowskating/wizard blading, but also a treat for 3x110 setup fans as well. Here are your options with this frame:

• 4x90 flat setup or with 1 mm banana rockering. The axles spacing is 275 mm.
