| Trinity X Mounting Two offset mounting points in the front and one in the rear of the boots create a scalene "power triangle" that provides a stable striding base while enabling lightning-quick response. The two front mounting points are located on the frame's front "wings" outside the wheel well, which not only adds to response capability but also allows the wheels to be recessed into the boot, enabling a lower center of gravity, as well as larger wheels. The combination of the lower center of gravity, larger wheels, and unsurpassed control, make the Trinity frames the frames of the future. |

| 3D Casted Frames Perfectly shaped around the wheels to optimize the space. 3D construction enhances stiffness and power transfer to offer characteristics similar to those found in CNC machined frames. |

Customer Reviews
3x110mmI have the cast elite aluminum 3x100 and 3x125 and they're great frames. But I have mostly used my 3x110 magnesium frames. They're lightweight and very solid/stable. I have no problems doing slides or skating long distances. Very happy with them. I actually prefer them over my 90/110 Endless frames.
Stripped in 3 monthsI do not recommend these, because as others have mentioned, the threads are weak and get stripped easily. I did not even change my wheels that much in the three months. Just seems to be a soft metal that gets scraped away easily. Light and fast frames though.
Big Wheels and Short FramesI got these because I was looking for the shortest frame length available (255mm) for the biggest wheels available (125mm) without getting into all-terrain skates. I think this combination is best for intermediate to advanced skaters who want to be able to move about their city.
I got these mostly because I want to coast for as long as possible, i.e., to be able to travel long distances with minimal effort. I also wanted the fastest and smoothest roll possible on asphalt streets but still be able to quickly stop, turn, and just maneuver in general, and squeeze through tight spaces, all of which is much more difficult with longer frames. The downsides are supposedly slower acceleration but IMO I don't notice a difference.
I wouldn't recommend these to a beginner but to an intermediate-level skater who's curious, I'd say definitely go for it. I haven't wanted to skate on anything smaller than 125mm ever since I up-sized.
Prefer aluminum framesI rode on these frames for about a year and at this point both frames of the pair have been stripped on one axle slot. I don't know if the magnesium is softer than the aluminum and that leads to this, but my aluminum ones that I've had even longer have not had this issue and I think I put them through similar levels of abuse.
Previous Feedback
Comments: I bought these to mount under the Powerslide Arise SL boot. The Arise SL came with a good frame using 110mm wheels, and I wanted to upgrade to 125mm wheels. The magnesium frames are light and rigid. Good energy transfer from the carbon fiber boot base. The three-point mount system adds more stability than previously used two-point connection systems. The bearing mount locations are machined with good precision, good clearance from the inner race mating surface to the shield. The only downside has been that new wheels rub slightly on the strap of the Arise SL, but the 125mm wheels I had put a few hundred miles on didn't rub.
