Powerslide Phuzion Krypton 100 - Grey Inline Skates

Powerslide Krypton are fitness skates made to deliver a maximum comfort and good performance at affordable price.

Their base is made out of glass-fibre reinforced composite, making skates stable and easy to control. Furthermore, Krypton 100 Grey are kind of a hybrid between entry level fitness Radon skates and higher end Argon ones. It takes the base and upper from sleeker, more „running shoes” like Radons, but uses the external cuff from Argon. This way, we get an excellent ankle support along with slim silhouette and classy looks of the boot itself. It is worth to note that while the base is made out of harder, more rigid GFRP material, the cuff uses a mixture of polypropylene and glass fibre instead, giving it a bit of flex, making the skate better suited for people who want to achieve a lower skating stance to go faster.

The boot comes with integrated padding made out of EVA foams with different densities in key areas. The upper is made out of lightweight and breathable materials and in addition ensures a snug and supportive fit. Buckle, Velcro and lacing work well to lock the heel in place, increasing control over the skates. These qualities make Krypton 100 a superb choice for skating long distances and as a tool for intense, aerobic workouts.

As expected, Powerslide equipped Krypton 100 with their revolutionary Trinity frame mounting technology. This is a standard among skates made by the company nowadays and brings benefits which we won’t find in equivalent models made by other brands.

Thanks to three contact points between the frame and boot (instead of usual two) engineers were able to lower the centre of gravity, placing the foot much closer to the wheels – as a result the skates are much easier to control. Even though they come with 100 mm wheels, the overall height of the setup is still pretty low. Apart from that, the energy transfer is greatly improved, vibrations are more evenly distributed and the boot itself is compatible with any Trinity frame on the market – from short, freestyle to speedskating ones.

Krypton 100 Grey come with two different frame lengths, depending on the boot size. In both cases these are gravity casted Elite AL models – a great option when it comes to price vs quality, much better than embossed, riveted ones found on many fitness skates. Boots in sizes up to and including EU41 are given 231 mm long frames whereas bigger ones come with 250 mm version. This ensures that everyone gets a sweet spot between agility and stability. Three 100 mm wheels in 83A hardness coupled with ABEC7 Wicked bearings provide smooth, comfortable roll.

Skates are equipped with HABS (height adjustable brake system) which allows you to change position of the rubber in relation to the ground. Naturally, the brake can be easily detached if you wish to do so.

Thanks to smart design and solid execution, Krypton 100 are good skates for novice and experienced users alike. Their price tag makes sure you won’t have to break a bank open. New, grey version of the skate looks super classy and have urban look which goes well with current fashion trends.  Overall, these are solid, well performing and comfortable skates coming with an option to change the frames to a different model as a nice bonus.
