Powerslide Zoom 80 Neon Yellow – for who?

Powerslide Zoom 80 Neon Yellow – why?

Strong hardboot shell – skates with plastic shells are considered the most universal of them all. They not only secure your feet from injury, but also provide better responsiveness and energy transfer than softboot counterparts. A pair of solid hardboot skates will last you many years, even if you won’t go easy on them!

Perfect amount of ankle support – cuff is made out of the same rigid material as lower part of the shell, doing superb job at stabilizing your ankle during skating. Because cuff is attached via two rivets acting as a pivot point, front to back ankle movement isn’t hampered, making skating much easier.

Reliable closure – classic lacing found in Zoom 80 Neon Yellow is modeled after hockey boots and works very well in securing your foot properly, without a need for additional lower buckle or Velcro strap. This also gives skate a clean look and adds to that retro vibe. Top plastic buckle allows to secure the cuff area. Overall, these two elements work together perfectly, erasing risk of abrasions and making skates easier to control.

Excellent comfort – Zoom 80 Neon Yellow have shell with generous width, meaning that majority of users will be able to skate without any unwanted pressure points. Powerslide equipped skates with comfortable, thick liner made of high quality foams. As a whole, skates are well fitting and comfortable right out of the box, with little to none break-in period.

Aluminium frame with 80 mm wheels – Four times 80 mm diameter wheels is objectively the reference point for all fitness and freeskating setups! You cannot go wrong with it – cruise, commute, jump, slide, try freestyle slalom, play street hockey – it can do it all.

Zoom 80 Neon Yellow skates - good to know.

Safe beginnings - stock wheels are on softer side to increase rolling comfort and make it easier to learn skating for beginners. You can start learning how to skate right form square zero, without worrying about grip and control.

Enhanced plastic compound – Powerslide used GFRP – glass fiber reinforced plastic – to create Zoom’s shell. Durability is excellent with added benefits in terms of responsiveness and energy transfer.

Riveted frame – just like in old-school blades and modern hockey boots, frame is riveted to boot. It allows for a perfect balance between cost vs reliability. Connection is super solid!

Dual sizing liner – all hardboot skates use one shell size per two liner sizes. Ideally, you want your skates to have as little bulk as possible. However, with traditional sizing it can be a headache to find information if given boot size uses smaller or larger shell. Powerslide decided that this doesn’t make sense and offer dual-sizing liners, which come with neoprene, stretchy toe. It adjusts to length of your foot. Furthermore, you can check a mondo point table and see if it makes sense to go one size of the shell down or up.

Skates come without a brake – it is possible to attach aftermarket ones, though. Powerslide Urban brake in size S is compatible, however it requires 6 mm axles and dedicated spacers for assembly.
