Overview
Bont Tracer Plates represent amazing value for a derby plate under $100. The aluminum baseplate is extruded from 6061 aircraft aluminum which makes it extremely strong but also a little bit heavy relative to more expensive models with channels and machining to reduce weight. The Tracer is a no frills, competitively performing plate with great action for derby. The one-piece cast trucks sit at 20°, perfectly balancing a derby player's need to go fast on an open track but maneuver and edge with pinpoint precision in tight quarters.

Customer Reviews
Bont Tracer 6.5" Black platesI needed:
a. 6.5" plate
b. low cost
I have had no issues so far. This plate provided both value and the size that fit my foot. Only a handfull of vendors offer 6.5". Most offer a 7' plate, which is too long for my foot and my skills/style.
Note: the axles are quite long and I had to use three washers to fit my Rollerbones 101a wheels. The mounting kit I bought was not the correct size for typical figure skate boots, I had to use some of the old hardware to mount the heels.
