Iqon Inline Skates

The IQON brand has entered the market with simple motto: quality without compromises. Of course, a wide range of skating related products wouldn’t be complete without main dish, skates themselves. Seeing that IQON is owned by Matthias Knoll, creator and owner of Powerslide brand, it uses the same “tech base”. However, while more mainstream, older brand needs to carefully balance price and quality to stay competitive, there are no such restrictions when money is not an issue – IQON targets those who seek highest tier gear, no matter the cost. Thus, the company goes all in, doing things no one else dares to.

The cost doesn’t matter as long as given solution makes sense from performance standpoint. Carbon cuffs, ATOP quick lacing system, premium liners – you’ll find that and more in IQON skates.

Furthermore, IQON brand offers skates equipped with almost every frame mounting system present on the market: UFS, 165 mm and Trinity. The only one missing is 195 mm, but seeing that it is exclusively used in speed and IQON is all about urban sports, it is not a big deal. In theory, you can grab yourself a pair of Trinity equipped “TR” boots and attach speedskating frames using which use the same mount – voila, now you have a nice set of marathon skates.

The frames offered by IQON are also top-tier in the industry. They are made out of high end aluminium and even basic SE models do not disappoint, offering at least two different wheel setup options and rockering.

IQON also manufactures all kinds of wheels one could want – all of them of high quality. If you are looking for increased responsiveness and roll – no problem, options with aluminium core are available. There’s even something for people who want to make sure their gear is more environmentally friendly – a range of wheels have 30% addition of cornstarch in urethane blend and 20% of recycled composites in core. All IQON skates come with great wheels and high quality bearings.

All of these elements make for really unique skates, worth buying no matter your skill level. Yes, quality comes at a price – but here, you can be sure your money are well spent.
