Inline Racing & Speed Skating Gear

For explosive starts and technical tracks, choose ERA for maximum grip and punch. For mixed conditions and long races, Phoenix is the all-round race wheel with effortless roll and confident cornering. In wet conditions, switch to dedicated rain wheels to maintain traction.

See racing wheels and the Phoenix & ERA tech story. Pair with WICKED bearings for maximum efficiency.

Both win races. 3×125 rolls smoother on rough roads, favors lower cadence, and shines in marathons. 4×110 is the classic track choice with precise cornering for sprints and tactical racing. Consider your course: long straights and variable pavement often favor 3×125; tight corners and accelerations can favor 4×110. Many athletes train on both to build complete technique.

195 mm (2-point) is the traditional race standard, ultra-direct and widely compatible. TRINITY (3-point) lowers your center of gravity, boosts stability, and offers generous fore–aft and lateral adjustment to dial your stance. If you prefer the lightest classic race feel, pick 195 mm; if you want extra stability and vibration damping for rough surfaces, try TRINITY. Some racers keep both options for different events.

Explore racing frames for both mounts.

Start centered, then move the front mount slightly to the inside to help your push track straight. Skate a few laps, note ankle/knee drift, and adjust in 1–2 mm steps until you feel balanced on both edges. If you habitually tip in/out, alignment shims or wedges can help. Tighten hardware securely and recheck after your first session.

Find axles, screws, thread-locker, shims, and multi-tools here. Replace worn buckles/straps before race day.

Rotating preserves profile and grip. For 4×110, rotate 1↔ 3 and 2↔ 4, then flip wheels side-to-side so the former inside faces become outside. For 3×125, use a front → back → middle rotation (the middle wears fastest), then flip sides on the next cycle. Rotate sooner if you see coning, flat spots, or if your track has many one-direction corners.

Keep axles clean for smooth swaps and shop fresh racing wheels when profiles wear down.

High-grade steel bearings are excellent for daily training and most races. WICKED ceramic hybrids reduce friction and can help you hold speed longer in sprints and late-race surges—provided they're clean and properly lubricated. Many athletes train on steel and save ceramics for key events to keep them fresh.

Shop bearings, spacers, and lube and keep spares/tools in a race bag.

Race boots should feel snug and locked at heel and midfoot with minimal internal movement for instant power transfer. For narrow/low-volume feet, choose our race-tight lasts used on top models; for medium/wider feet, select performance or sportive lasts that add forefoot room without losing control. If hotspots appear, try thin socks (or barefoot if you prefer), adjust buckle tension, and use heat-molding where available.

Explore racing skates & boots, find thin performance socks, and refresh straps/buckles when worn.

A popular long-distance build uses a 3×125 or 4×110 magnesium/7000-series aluminum frame, Phoenix all-round race wheels, and WICKED ceramic bearings—mounted to a stiff, low-cut carbon boot. Add an aero suit and a lightweight racing helmet to reduce drag and stay cool over distance. Check axle tightness pre-race and carry spares in your bag.

With the same wheel/frame setup (e.g., 3×125), switching from a fitness boot to a low-cut racing boot can save about 20 minutes over a full marathon. Race boots provide tighter heel lock, lower weight, and a more direct connection—so your push translates into speed more efficiently.

Most race setups ship without a brake. Some high-performance frames do not accept a brake at all, while others may offer an add-on. If you want a brake for training or open-road safety, choose a compatible frame from the start and verify mounting options before purchase.

Check racing frames for compatibility, and keep the right tools & screws for installation and maintenance.
