Product Quad-Inline hybrid skate.
Description Fourwheeler. Lean-steered trucks. Trucks changeable. Rear brake. Standard upper interface.
Key Features Frame length 275 mm. Wheel size 80 mm. Variable design speed: 15+21,5 km/h (recreation); 18+26 km/h (fitness) are available. Sideways lean angle 0 to 40 degrees. Asymmetric steering. |
This hybrid skate represents a wholly new skate principle. The skater is shaping freely his track. The enormous lean angle of up to 40 degrees allows for an efficient acceleration. The patented lean-dependent steering truck mechanism produces a rectifying effect which is felt by the skater as if he or she stands stably upright. The rectifying effect depends on the speed. Technically speaking, the steering mechanism has a built-in parameter that defines the speed at which full stability is attained. This speed is called 'design speed'. Most fun and ease of movement is experienced at a velocity near that speed. However the useful speed range is from zero to about 1.5 the design speed. Model 1.1 is furnished with exchangeable trucks. By reversing the rear truck a second speed range comes into effect. Narrowly carving properties, average speed slaloming or widely cut curving during fitness runs are available according to the day-to-day choice of the user. Asymmetric steering (patent pending) means that the outer leg performs a 30 cm wider curve than the inner leg thus avoiding track crossing. |
