Powerslide Next Rose 100 Inline Skates

The Powerslide Next set new standards in the field of freeskating and urban skating back when they released. For the first time in a history, a hardboot has been equipped with innovative Trinity frame mounting, drastically changing the skating experience. This three point mounting has allowed engineers to lower the center of gravity in a way which was simply not possible with standard 165mm mounting and make skate as a whole more rigid. Thanks to these qualities, Next give you a superior control and energy transfer, on levels which up to this point were simply not possible to achieve with plastic composite boots.

Powerslide took great care in making the Next boot as customizable as possible, allowing you to adjust it to your anatomy and preferences. High laced boot (hockey-style) with two buckles holds your feet firmly in place. Cuff is equipped with canting system allowing for four different positions, which can be used to counter unwanted bending of your ankles to the sides, or simply give more or less ankle movement freedom depending on the height. Moreover, both cuff and the shell can be cut along factory made marking lines, to give skate more flexibility for those who prefer it. Front part of the shell is protected by a replaceable plastic strip which covers not only the sides of the skates, like traditional sliders, but also the tip.

Inside the shell you will find a MyFit Recall Dual Fit liner, one of the top models in MyFit range. The Recall padding adjusts to your anatomy in body temperature, shortening break-in period. Furthermore, the liner can be heat-molded in 80 Celsius degrees for achieving even better fit. Liner can be laced in the upper part, which is a welcome feature for people who like to ride their skates with cuffs done a bit loose – you can secure the tongue of the liner in place, which will not only prevent any abrasions, but also make the upper part of the liner less prone to wear.

Next Rose 100 are made for women who seek a pair of skates for urban skating and freestyle-like fun. Apart from more vibrant look, the only difference from unisex version (Next Black core 100) is that biggest size on offer is EU42-43.

What makes Next Rose 100 unique among its triskating siblings? Skate comes with 231 mm frame fitting three 100 mm diameter wheels. This makes for a fast and maneverable setup. In fact, 3x100 mm is so agile that it is even possible to do a bit of cone skating on it – of course, not on super high level, but you can still do some moves for fun with relative ease, without being held back by frame length. In addition, 3x100 frame is great for people who look to step-up from most common freeskating setup, 4x80 mm. It’s lighter, still pretty low to the ground (especially in this skate, thanks to Trinity mounting), easy to control but noticeably faster. The boot accepts all Trinity frames.

100 mm Spinner wheels give this skate a dynamic character and thanks to Super High Rebound urethane compound rolling on them is a breeze. These wheels will held up well in demanding urban environment and during jumps and slides. ABEC9 Wicked bearings complete the package.

Next is a true revolution in category of hardboots made for urban skating – it is a perfect skate for demanding users who value customization options, but thanks to low setup height and outstanding level of comfort, newcomers to urban skating love it too. One of Powerslide’s best, without a shadow of doubt.
