Overview
Playing Style
-
Power
A Power-Focused Playing Style suits players who thrive on generating strong, top-end speed through forceful and longer strides. They come with a stiffer boot that efficiently transfers energy into the rink for maximum power with every stride.
-
Acceleration
An Acceleration-Focused Playing Style is ideal for players who rely on quick bursts of speed and agile movements to dominate the game. These offer a moderately stiff boot that balances support with mobility. You can swiftly change direction, make sudden moves, and accelerate rapidly with these skates.

The Sure Grip Power Trac Plates are elite racing and speed skating plates that are notable for how incredibly lightweight and competitive they are, even in other disciplines like roller derby and jam skating. They are made with 7000 series extruded aluminum alloy that is machined in the U.S. and features a number of circular cutouts to further reduce its weight. The Power Trac plate employs a unique reverse-pivot design in which the pivot ball is threaded directly into the plate and rests in a cup attached to the aluminum trucks (as opposed to the pivot arm coming from the truck into a cup that is seated in the plate).
