Roller Derby Elite Alpha 125mm 3-Wheel Inline Skate

The media could not be loaded. hese skates are built for speed and distance, making them an excellent choice for experienced riders looking for smooth, high-performance inline skating. The three 125mm wheels provide incredible acceleration with minimal effort, gliding over cracks and rough pavement far better than traditional four-wheel setups. The aluminum frame is lightweight yet sturdy, ensuring stability at high speeds, and the Bevo Gold-7 bearings keep the ride smooth. However, these are not beginner skates—there’s no brake, and the tall wheel height requires good balance and control.Comfort is generally good, but the fit may take some getting used to. The hard plastic shell offers strong ankle support, but some users have found it digs into their ankle bones initially. Over time, the thick foam liner molds to your foot for a more comfortable fit, similar to breaking in a quality sports shoe. The buckle system is secure, though some users find the lower strap a bit tricky to release. Once adjusted properly, the skates stay snug and responsive, allowing for precise control and quick maneuverability.For the price, these skates deliver impressive quality and performance. They’re ideal for fitness skaters and speed enthusiasts who want to cover long distances effortlessly. The build is solid, the wheels are durable, and the overall ride quality is excellent. While they may not be the most comfortable out of the box, a little break-in time makes a big difference. If you’re an experienced skater looking for speed and control, these are a great investment, but if you’re a beginner, you may want to start with a more forgiving setup.

Great 3 wheel inline skates , my son loves them !

These skates are amazing. I've been skating seriously for only a month, and being a size 13 it can be hard to find a skate that is both comfortable and supportive. At first I was terrified of the large wheels, but I quickly realized I felt much more control than I did with my smaller 4 wheel skates. These also gsin acceleration with little energy which means I feel like I'm floating which is making me a better skater what feels like real time. The wheels are also so large that I feel more in control when changing direction or taking steps in general. I also feel very stable on the three wheels, and the lack of a 4th wheel seems to make the wheels role with more cohesion, I've rarely felt like the skates went in a direction I wasn't intending. These skates are great for big and tall men (I'm 6'2, 240). Would definitely recommend not getting these to learn how to skate, but if you have a decent foundation (2-3 weeks of learning to balance and technique), I think these will take you to the next step. I can already tell I'm going to be a much better skater it I continue using these.P.S: here at the rink they turned on a black light, and these wheels were GLOWING green. I didn't know they did this and it blew my mind how cool it looked. This skate is pricy but their versatility as an indoor/outdoor skate/comfort/stylishness/support/speed especially for my big butt is hard to beat!P.s: the issue with the straps is overblown and in my opinion it's user error. The middle strap instantly loosens when you push down the "wings" on the part that looks like a buckle. The other strap loosens when you pull up on the buckle part where you insert the strap.

I like the Sturdiness of these skates! The fit seems manageable and will eventually be perfect. The strapping systems are difficult and hard to manage! The bottom strap is only operational with 2 hands and I am not flexible enough to have it be less than exhausting! The good thing seems to be that the straps can be replaced with straps that are more accommodating to a non flexible users.I have a pair GLX Brovoblades by Rollerblades from 1997 that have a much better strapping system!The skates glide well and seem to have good stability. Turning is more difficult because of the longer wheelbase. I will use them for a week then give more information.(1 month later)I have skated on these skates for over a month!The issues that I had with being flexible enough have worked themselves out!I have adapted to the skate and o am better able to put them on!The simple fix to the problem of fastening the straps is fixed by not ever completely undoing them! Just slip your foot into it! It is still difficult for me (but that is my issue of being overweight)The skate operate very well now that I am accustomed to them!The straps can be adjusted easily while on the move and being a speed skate this is important to be able to do! I changed from 4 to 5 stars
