Kizer Element - Benny Harmanus - Ready to Roll Inline Skate Frames

Kizer is one of the most important frame companies on inline skating market. They are a branch of Powerslide and have their technical expertise behind every product in line-up. The brand is mostly focused on aggressive inline skating and has been in the game since late 90’s, delivering revolutionary products for enthusiasts of both flat and anti-rocker setups. The amount of improvements Kizer brought to aggressive inline is nothing but impressive.

More recently, in mid 2010’s, Kizer have kick-started a big wheel revolution with their “powerblading” frames. These were basically freeskating frames with wheels up to 80 mm, you could still grind ledges and copings on. The first models lacked groove, but third one, the iconic Level 2, changed the landscape of frame market completely. Riding flat became fashionable again, skaters fell in love with additional speed, stability and control this type of setup gives and more companies started to develop their own frames for various wheel sizes. Truth to be told, we owe the current abundance of great flat frame options to Kizer trying something different.

Even though Kizer powerblading frames are no longer that popular, the company is still commited to innovate and releases a big wheel freeskating frames, like Flux, which is their first non-UFS model ever (uses Trinity mounting), alongside more traditional UFS-based aggressive models.
