Roces RL2 Liner - Black/White

Roces RL2 is the updated edition of the high-end skate liner of Italian manufacturer, dedicated mostly for aggressive skate models of the brand. Slightly stiffer liner, assuring the unmatched ankle support. Without a doubt it is inspired by highly popular Intuition products.

The interior lining is made of foam combination of different densities, while the outer layer is a mix of slim Lycra and slick neoprene. The use of different materials inside the liner has its practical justification. While the heel area is made of a rougher material for optimal immobilization, the rest of the interior lining surface is made out of soft Lycra for easy put on and quick take off.

The rather compact design of Roces  RL2 liners make them the perfect choice for downsizing which means the possibility of fitting into a smaller skate shell then we usually use. A particularly useful treatment with the massive shells of Roces 5th Element skates, where one can still struggle with the problem of oversized lengths. Moreover, thanks to heat mould option we can get rid of any pressure points and adapt the shape of the liner to the unique shape of our foot.

The idea of Roces  RL2 lacing system called Tri-Hold, was taken from trekking shoes. The system involves lower, hidden laces, integrated with the ankle area in order to fully immobilize it, thus replacing the common 45 degrees Velcro solution. On the other hand the upper part of the liner can then be tightened independently, facilitating direct integration with the shell laces. The Tri-Hold system therefore gives the user a lot of freedom in flex control — while the heel will be firmly embedded in the base of the shell, the forward flex range can still be quite high.

External silicone applications will prevent the liner from moving inside a skate shell, while numerous ventilation holes in both the sole and sides of the liner will effectively keep our feet fresh.

In order to fix the problems regarding the first edition of the Roces RL liner, its second version introduces expected tongue reinforcement and, above all, a durable and comfortable carrying handle. In addition, all internal seams in the ankle area have been removed, eliminating any possible discomfort.

Roces RL2 liner is definitely a product for skaters who know their exact needs. Offering a number of improvements and unique solutions, it is undeniably a premium product and a significant step forward compared to standard liners offered by the Roces  brand.
