Product details

Product Description

Powerslide Tau 90 is a younger sibling of Hardcore Evo – both skates occupy the spot of Powerslide’s flagship product for freestyle slalom and freeskating. This skate was also the first in German brand’s catalogue to incorporate the Trinity mounting in slalom-oriented boot, ahead of HC  Evo and Kaze 90.

Tau started as a modern, premium option for skating between cones and to this day, these are one of the best choices for freestyle slalom. Thanks to it, they have became a choice of, among others, Lorenzo Guslandi, one of the best freestyle slalom skaters in the world.

Similarly to Hardcore Evo, Tau are very universal skates and thus, quickly gained popularity among urban skating enthusiasts. Since their first iteration, they underwent so many changes and improvements that current model hardly resembles the original skates. It can be said without a shadow of doubt – these are some of the most technically advanced skates for freestyle in mass production.

Tau brought a major innovation in terms of boot construction – their shell is made out of compressed carbon. In year 2019, Tau has raised the bar even higher, as these are the first skates ever to be made in such technology and allowing heat molding at the same time. No other company but Powerslide uses this tech. Not only the shell can be shaped in this way – the padding also adjusts after heating it up, allowing you to get a perfect fit for your anatomy, thanks to the same materials as ones used in top of the range MyFit liners. As in case of Hardcore Evo, heat-molding your boots is not mandatory, it is an option – but the difference in how the skate feels, how responsive it is and how comfortably snug it wraps around your foot is simply massive after “baking”. Tongue is shaped anatomically, with flex cuts, to better adjust to your foot and provide superior, secure fit in connection with lacing and buckles.

Tau 2019 style resembles a racing car and not without a reason. These skates are made for breaking new records. Thanks to technologies and materials used in production, a whole skate is incredibly light (only 1350g for size EU41). External cuff looks familiar to anyone who is following Powerslide’s output year after year, but it has been reinforced with addition of glass fibres. This makes it very stiff and provides great lateral support. Frame mounting system is of course Powerslide’s innovative Trinity – giving you a better precision and energy transfer. A side bonus is lower centre of gravity.

Moreover, Taus are really durable. Toe area is protected by additional rubberised shield and side of the boot does have replaceable slider. In addition, compressed carbon is really resistant to cracking thanks to its physical properties. These skates will last you years if you will take good care of them. Parts like cuffs, sliders, buckles are all replaceable and available for purchase.

Tau 2019 are worth considering even if you don’t have a slightest interest in freestyle slalom, as the boot is a great fit for almost every skating type – freeskating, downhill, inline alpine, off-road and even racing marathons, for skaters who want lightweight, stiff boots with high cuff. No matter what kind of Trinity frame you’ll attach to the boot, the result will be a skate which is a pure joy to ride. Plus, their futuristic looks are just excellent.

It’s worth pointing out that Tau is not a successor to Hardcore Evo skate – both exist in parallel, as alternatives. Both models are made for similar types of skating, but technologies used to make them differ, as well as their shape. We highly recommend trying on both to check which one of Powerslide’s best offering will be a better fit for you.

Technical Data

About manufacturer

Other products of this producer Powerslide

Powerslide is one of industry’s leaders even though it is relatively young company – it has been founded in year 1994. The Germany based brand has entered the market at height of inline skating’s popularity, at the time when market was flooded with low quality skates which could be described as toys rather than sport equipment. From the very beginning, Powerslide had one goal: to break the perception of inline skating being a leisure activity for kids and to promote it as a sport for everyone. That’s not a surprise considering that company’s owner, Matthias Knoll, is a skater himself. As speedskating contender, he breathes this sport and his love for it has been fuelling Powerslide for over 25 years.

If we were to describe Powerslide in three words, these would be: quality, variety and innovation. From the very beginning of company’s existence, Germans have challenged industry’s giants and competed with them in field of quality. Nowadays they are in lead of the pack when it comes to technology: heatmoldable liners and boots, compressed carbon shells, revolutionary Trinity mounting – these things are relatively fresh and competition is yet to respond. Looking back, Powerslide was the first company to introduce carbon freestyle skate with integrated padding. They were the first company to introduce carbon based aggressive skate. 125mm wheels were introduced to speedskating thanks to them. The introduction of Kizer Advance frame and then Level 2 made a big impact and lead to rapid evolution of aggressive flat frames. Germans were the first company to make triskates a significant part of their offering, starting a new trend. Nowadays, Powerslide are the only company that makes real off-road skates (not to be confused with off-road rollerskis).

This pursuit of change and improvement is unique – no other company in this industry is having a boss willing to take even the craziest of ideas and concepts to production stage. Powerslide also have, without a shadow of doubt, the richest catalogue of products among all skating companies; covering even the most niche equipment made for freestyle slalom, downhill and inline alpine. They have full range of accessories and parts: helmets, protection pads, wheels, bearings, frames and so on. The company is also making rollerskates, providing recreational, roller derby and skatepark models and equipment. It can be safely said that if Powerslide is not making something skating related, chances of other companies having it in their offer are slim to none.

Powerslide have an impressive brand portfolio: MyFit liners, Wicked bearings, Reign hockey skates, USD aggressive skates, Kizer frames, Undercover wheels, Matter wheels, Gawds boots, wheels and softgoods, Prime wheels, Juice rollerskates wheels, Chaya rollerskates, Ennui protection and many others.

What makes Powerslide special are company’s people and supporters who create a community around it. Germans support and cooperate with skaters all around the globe. International Powerslide Team is composed of names every inline skating fan should be familiar with and believe us - there are far too many to list them here.
