Fr Skates Frxp 80 Black

FRXP Black/Blue, a budget-friendly iteration of the acclaimed FRX skate, preserving the classic shell and liner with a few differentiating features. Notably, the X-frame deviates from a rockering system, opting for double axles, yet remains robust for urban skating—a compelling choice for those prioritizing reliability over rockering.

The cuff maintains the same profile as its pricier counterparts but employs rivets instead of standard screws. While this may pose a slight challenge for custom kit installations, it’s still achievable with power tools. The FRXP also incorporates a replaceable abrasive pad on the side, safeguarding the boots during wheel slides.

With a mount spacing of 165mm, these boots seamlessly integrate with frames adhering to this standard, including tri-skating setups. The anatomically shaped liner, laced in the upper part, secures the foot in place. Boot tightening involves laces, a plastic cuff buckle, and a 45-degree ratchet buckle—differing slightly from the regular FRX, which features a 45-degree Velcro strap.

The FRXP Black/Blue is outfitted with a 243mm X-frame, accompanied by Street Kings wheels and ABEC7 bearings. This configuration strikes a balance between versatility, reliability, and agility, making it well-suited for urban skating. While lacking the rockering capabilities of its X2R counterpart, this frame remains a robust choice for urban environments.

In essence, the FRXP Black/Blue stands as an excellent entry point for beginners or those seeking a more economical alternative. With its dependable construction and astute part selection, the FRXP offers a reliable and solid option in the realm of affordable skates—a worthy alternative to the renowned FRX.
