Powerslide Hardcore EVO PRO 90 - Black/Red Inline Skates

The Powerslide HC Evo 90 is an advanced pair of skates designed for freestyle and urban skating. Lightweight and incredibly responsive, it is a great option for slalom, downhill, or more intense fitness skating.

If there's something to compare the Hardcore Evo line of skates to, it's high-end, timeless sports cars – where each new model year is a step further in quality, comfort, and driving experience, never losing the character of its predecessors.

The 2024 version by Powerslide is no exception – the skates have undergone several minor changes, which can be seen as additional refinements, further perfecting the already successful equipment.

Heat moldable carbon shell with extra heel raise

The Hardcore Evo model was the first Powerslide skate to feature a shell made of heat moldable carbon fiber. With each new version, substantial changes were introduced to bring the HC Evo closer to the ideal of slalom skates.

• The skates are fully heat moldable – not just the shell, but also the lining. This allows for perfect comfort and control.
• The tongue in the boot is equipped with cuts – that facilitate fitting to the foot, thereby helping to lock the heel in place.
• 5mm Heel Lift – the skates have a built-in 5mm heel lift to provide additional forward lean and facilitate tricks performed in a squatting position.
• Reinforced Boot Stitching - equipped with an effective lacing system that wraps the foot well. A new feature is an additional pair of lace eyelets near the 45-degree buckle, catering to people with lower arches - allowing the boots to be laced for even better hold.
• The cuff is equipped with a new type of buckle - stronger and with a stiffer strap than those used in previous HC Evo versions.

While the Hardcore Evo skates are primarily for freestyle slalom – the designers have not forgotten about slide and urban skating fans, offering a replaceable slider on the outside of the boot and additional toe protection.

Precision of Trinity mounting

The Hardcore Evo models are equipped with the innovative Trinity mounting system.

Lower the center of gravity - three connecting points between the frame and boot allow designers to lower the center of gravity, improving control over the skates. The fact that the frame is screwed at the front with two screws creates a kind of platform, increasing stability and facilitating the transfer of movements to the wheels.

Increased precision is something that every freestyle slalom enthusiast will appreciate. It is worth mentioning that the Trinity frame mounting is a patented Powerslide technology not found in any other skate manufacturer. Naturally, the path to replacing the factory frame with another in this standard is open.

90mm Triksate setup

Powerslide Nexus Rocker frames - provide excellent speed and control. Exactly what you need to take your freestyle performance to the next level. Made of strong and lightweight 6061 aircraft aluminum, this three-wheel frame makes dynamic skating, turning, slides, and other tricks almost effortless.

Powerslide has thus said goodbye to the traditional "banana" wheel setup in favor of a lighter, more agile, and faster Triskate set.

Rockering capability – changing the position of two wheels in the framel so that the front one is raised 2 mm above the ground. You can rocker just one or two wheels on your skates, or even rocker your left and right skates differently - you have complete control.

The length of the frame depends on the boot size, so that the set is as well adapted to the user's anatomy as possible.

The lengths of frames are as follows:

• EU 36-38 = 205 mm frame, 84 mm wheels
• EU 39-41 = 215 mm frame, 90 mm wheels
• EU 42-44 = 225 mm frame, 90 mm wheels
• EU 45-46 = 235 mm frame, 90 mm wheels

Wheels and Bearings

The diameter of the wheels also depends on the length of the frame used. The wheels used in these skates are the proven Spinner SHR models with a hardness of 88a, also known from previous editions. They offer an optimal combination of grip and speed. The whole is complemented by Wicked ABEC9 bearings, providing impeccable fast rolling.

Powerslide Hardcore Evo 90 – worth knowing!

The Powerslide Hardcore Evo skates are directed to advanced users, and it should be remembered that the set does not include a brake. The characteristics of the Nexus Rocker frame used exclude the possibility of its installation – Nexus frame are not compatible with brakes.

If you're looking for skates for freestyle slalom or even freeskating that outperform the competition in terms of components – the choice is not difficult. Powerslide Hardcore Evo Trinity is simply a model that cannot be spoken of in anything but superlatives. It is a precise tool created for one purpose – to overcome the skater's own limitations and to win.
