The 110mm SwitchBlade is Truly Revolutionary! Made in the USA from US AirForce grade aluminum, this frame is not just strong, but incredibly light as it is made with an extremely high grade aluminum! It is hollowed out from a single block of aluminum and has a mechanism which allows The Switchblade to be essentially multiple frames in one: 100-100-110-110 OR 110-100-110-110 wheel combinations. Simple switch red inserts at top of frame.
This is the perfect skate package for those who want to mantain the same hieght and center of gravity as a 4-100 frame, but desire the roll and extra force of the 110mm wheel. Having the option of putting two 100's on the front of the frame makes climbing hills, winding tracks, and skating indoors incredibly more manageable. This frame is supurb for those who do not have the body wieght and/or hieght of a Pro, but can rock the 110mm wheel.
FIVE reasons why you may want the switchblade skate. Here are a few scenarios :
1) Road Criterium courses (sharp turns throughout course) vs. Point to Point.
Our 100-100-110-110 is same height as most 4-100 skate frame. Having two 100mm wheels in front emulates that skate which many skaters find proficient. When a point to point race comes along like Northshore Inline Marathon, the skater can then utilize the 110-100-110-110.
2) Skater tries the 4-110 or 110-100-110-110 and finds that they need a lot of strength to get it going but recognizes that sweet roll. They can use the 100-100-110-110 combination until they get strong enough to push the higher combination.
3) Skater is strong enough to pull the 110 wheels, however they are “spooked” by the larger wheel in front (usually a smaller skater). The bigger wheel is throwing them off on their technique or dexterity. Solution: “Change the wheel in front until you are ready.
4) The perfect skate to grow into when you are not sure if bigger wheels are going to work for you. –e.g.- you can start off with a) 90-90-100-100 b) 100-90-100-100 c) 100-100-110-110 d) 110-100-110-110. Actually its 6 skates in one if you want to use 80mm wheels.
5) Max out the big wheel combination for training, when race comes along, switch to lighter wheel combination.
These scenarios are just a few examples on how the switchblade could be beneficial for some speed skaters.
