 It's obvious that fitness skaters and street/vert (trick) skaters are not going to buy skates built from the same parts. Similarly, there are other differences in skaters and skating styles that are addressed throughout the 2005 K2 model line. K2 has matched skating styles with the functional combination of fit, cuff and frame components to created unique fit, comfort and performance properties of a skate for its specific performance. |

Longmount Frame Technology

ILQ-9 Bearings

K2's new big wheel technology provides a faster skate with a smoother glide and the most power transfer efficiency available on any skates. Need more reasons to love the new 2005 K2 skates? Big-wheel setups show longer wheel life and the smoothest roll ever available on inline skates. It is a breakthrough that you will soon see on all major skate brands. K2 has it now!
The advantages of big wheels would not be achieved without Longmount frame technology. Longmount frames keep the skate low to the ground maintaining a lower center of gravity while using a much larger wheel.
Rated beyond ABEC, these are the bearings of the future. K2 uses Twincam's ILQ-9 bearings on their high performance skates for their better load rating, better durability, better free spin, and lower weight. This bearings is specifically designed for inline skates.
