Powerslide Swell 100 - Desert - After Return Inline Skates

Powerslide Swell - fitness skates for advanced users

Powerslide Swell have set a new benchmark in category of fitness skates. In times when sports equipment manufacturers must put emphasis not only on quality but also on aesthetics, Swell come forward to the expectations, offering durability, excellent performance and great looks which resemble running shoes design.

Composite shell with integrated liner

Powerslide Swell 100 model is built around a boot with integrated padding and stiff, composite shell.

• Great energy transfer and superior control - Glass fibre addition makes the shell stronger and gives it qualities which are not that widespread among fitness skates.
• Canting system - you can place the cuff a bit lower using canting system to have even greater range of movement. You can also use it to tilt the cuff to left or right, helping you mitigate any tendencies for pronation or supination, which may cause pressure points in the ankle area.
• High lacing, cuff buckle and a Velcro strap which prevents heel lift

All of this makes it hard to believe that these skates are designed for fitness skating. Indeed, Powerslide engineers have used the technology and experience developed and acquired while working on freeskates, to build the Swell boot.

3DAP Lining Technology

The upper is made out of durable, synthetic material which does excellent job at letting air in and moisture out of the skate.

• 3DAP inner padding - new, patented technology where instead of standard, pre-shaped foams glued together, it is a single cast made out of low density, resilient polyurethane. To allow for air flow and moisture removal, this cast have multiple little holes which are hidden beneath the outer skin.
• Pre-shaped boot tongue - made using the same technology and is not only but also comes which flex cuts, which allow it to bend to the shape of your foot in optimal way. These skates do not need break-in period – this revolutionary tech wraps around your foot perfectly the first time you put them on.
• Skates can be used with or without insole – a pair is included in the box. The boot closure consists of classic lacing and two really solid buckles with precise

Powerslide Swell 100 – for whom?

It can be even said that Swell fall in to a “fitness+” category as they are much more than skates made for cruising on park lanes. Skating in city environment, marathons, long distance, intense training – they can do it all. In every scenario, the anatomically shaped padding gives you maximum comfort. The skin of the boot allows for air flow and moisture to escape, while wrapping around your foot.

Versatility of the Trinity mount

• Trinity mounting - It is revolutionary, patented frame mounting system. It uses three mounting points, placing two front bolts on the sides of the wheels. Thanks to it, the centre of balance is as low as possible, as wheels can be placed closer to your foot. This makes skates easier to control. Moreover, three mounting points make energy transfer more efficient, which translates to faster skating with less effort.
• Full compatibility with whole Trinity frame range – if you will ever decide to try a different wheel setup, you won’t have to worry if the frame will fit your boot. You can even mount long speedskating frame and convert these skates in to “full fat” 3x125mm marathon model if you wish. Or go for smaller wheels, for example 4x80 setup in 243 mm frame and have slower, but more agile and easier to control skate.

Elite frame with 3x100 setup and dedicated length

In the Powerslide Swell 100, we find different frame lengths depending on the boot size.

• Size 38-42 - Elite 9.1" (231mm) frame
• Size 43-47 - Elite 9.8" (250mm) frame

This is important because it guarantees a stable base for push-off and a good compromise between maneuverability and speed for each user. In both cases, the frame has a low profile, so the distance from the foot to the wheels is as small as possible. It accommodates three 100 mm wheels, which is a great balance between low weight, speed, and acceleration.

Powerslide Swell 100 mm 83A - proven solution for urban skating, but thanks to their high-rebound urethane, they also perform great on tracks, allowing for really fast skating. Additionally, they wear down slowly. The whole is complemented by ABEC9 bearings from Wicked, providing smooth rolling.
