K2 designs frames to match different types of skating styles. All frames in the 2005 line are specifically matched to a specialized skate family. The frame of an inline skate dictates the properties of how a skate will roll and turn. Shorter frames are designed for maneuverability and quickness while longer frames are designed for speed. This year K2 has brought out the revolutionary "Big Wheel Technology" complete with functional Longmount frames and other classic frame designs. Big wheels increase the skater's stride, deliver more efficient power transfer, and provide the smoothest roll available.
