FITNESS INLINE SKATES / SPRING 2017


Innovation, precision, performance. The Powerslide SWELL is a revolutionary inline skate specially designed for intense fitness training. To deliver a real fitness skating experience we knew we had to innovate in every level, so we started from scratch. From the inside out every compound has been meticulously redesigned to improve the comfort and maximize the performance. By including only the most essential elements, we created a sophisticated and minimalistic skate yet more efficient and advanced than any other skate available in the fitness segment, bringing some technologies accessible before only to an elite of professional speed skaters. With the Powerslide SWELL collection it comes a whole new way to experience inline skating. It doesn’t only score with its extraordinary design, but also with perfect and comfortable fitting. The Swell skates are made for fast and intense skating and they will help you unleash your full potential, no matter if you skate for 5km or 42km, in perfectly paved tracks and rinks or in the city streets, you will experience skating as you never did before.



The fitness skate reinvented.



Anatomy of a Powerslide SWELL Triskate 01 BUILT-IN LINER: The skates are built in a unique and

revolutionary manufacturing process. SWELL skates come with a built-in liner which makes it the ultimate soft boot skate, providing unparalleled fit as well as being extremely lightweight, comfortable and responsive. All the PS SWELL serie 2 skates include the RECALL FIT with superior memory foam.

02 POWER KNIT UPPER: For first time in a skate we are

using a seamless POWER KNIT sock-like upper in six of our models. This makes the boot extremely comfortable, resistant, breathable and lightweight.

01 BUILT-IN LINER

02 POWER KNIT UPPER 03 COMPOSITE SHELL 04 HIGH QUALITY MATERIALS

03 COMPOSITE SHELL: The upper is lasted over a lightweight plastic shell with integrated ankle padding meaning there is no need for a liner so the upper and lining are a single layer of material.

04 HIGH QUALITY MATERIALS: Made with only the best

high quality materials all the SWELL skates are meant to last.

05 TRISKATE: Reduce weight, improves stability and

maneuverability. Increase both speed and control as well as maximizes every skating stride. The whole SWELL collection is TRISKATE (three wheel skates) which is the future of inline skating.

06 BIG WHEELS: 100, 110 and 125mm wheels provide

a smooth ride over any surface. We have developed a special PU formula for all PS SWELL wheels to guaranty high durability, unparalleled grip and maximum speed. Three of our models include UC by Matter wheels made in USA, the best wheels in the world.

Advanced shell. The power comes from the inside. The inner shell is probably the most remarkable component in the Powerslide SWELL skates, it does work not only as the base that connects and supports the whole boot but its precisely engineered shape keeps your heel lockedin and improves your stability right from the bottom. We used a special nylon composite with fiberglass mixed into the material, resulting in a light yet exceptionally strong and supportive structure that can’t be achieved with ordinary plastics. The bottom of the shell incorporates our unique cross ribs design to guarantee torsion stiffness and perfect power transfer for each stride. But the most innovative feature of our shell is the asymmetrical construction. Unlike ordinary fitness skates our shells are perfectly shaped and anatomically engineered for left and right feet in order to create a better fitting and performance of the skate, resulting in a extremely comfortable and responsive boot.

A hardshell that stretches . The same skate you love, but now more comfy. All the Powerslide SWELL series 2 skates include a redesigned shell with flex cuts, a unique technology developed by Powerslide to maximize the comfort without compromising the performance. The new shell adapts itself to the shape of your ankle providing a more pleasant fit, flexing where you need it to and still providing the same amount of support and performance you would expect from Swell. It means our skates are not only more comfortable than ever but they are designed to stay that way providing the same pleasant fit either if you skate a few minutes or for hours.

A simple cuff with unmatchable performance The next generation of Powerslide cuffs are sleek and light but very supportive, with solid lateral support and the right amount of front and forward flex. The cuffs are made out of a special nylon composite with added fiberglass to meet the requirements of stiffness and repeated flex necessary for intense fitness skating. The asymmetrical design of the cuff paired with the v-cut shape in the back, works as the perfect extension of the shell and adds further strength to the construction. We included our extensively probed top buckle, a trustful and effective fast lock buckle with a new female buckle receptor that works and adjusts perfectly.


The next generation of soft boots. Power knit Upper. Powerslide is the first company integrating a Power-knitted textile into an inline skate. This ultra light and breathable high performance material reduces weight and adapts to different foot shapes wrapping seamlessly around your foot like a flexible second skin. The strong waxed and flat laces are connected to metal eyelets and wires crossing the power-knit upper to transfer all the pulling power and keep your foot always locked in the right place without any pressure points. Models with Power knit upper: Dark Lava 125, Voltage blue 110, Atomic Tangerine 110, BW 110, Brink Pink 100, Red 100.

Welding technology. Powerslide is integrating the seamless welding technology into an inline skate. The ultra-light and breathable nylon mesh reduces weight and adapts to different foot shapes wrapping seamlessly around your foot like a flexible second skin. The strong heavy waxed and flat laces transfer the power to the lacing area, smoothly welded by heat to the mesh without any stitching or extra layer, keeping your foot always locked in the right place without any pressure points. Models with welding upper: Black 125, Aqua125, Aqua 110, Yellow Flash 110, Moon Grey 100.

Built-in Lining. Just the right amount of padding, right where you want it. One of the biggest challenges we faced was how to integrate the shell with the upper and the inner padding. It was not possible to achieve the level of responsiveness we were looking for with a traditional hard shell and a removable liner construction so we developed a new manufacturing process to combine the technology used in high quality speed racing skates with our unique power-knit upper/welding upper. The result is a simple, one piece construction, with a smooth join between outside and inside, upper and lining. The Powerslide Swell skate is not fully a hard boot nor a soft boot skate and still it has the best of both worlds. The ankle padding for Swell skates was designed with comfort as the main objective. In order to endure short intense trainings but also to allow you to wear your skates for a longer period of time. All the Powerslide SWELL Series 2 skates feel great from the very first moment you put them on thanks to the new RECALL fit, a 3-D anatomically shaped padding made out of a special memory foam, offering the same great comfort and performance day after day. Why skate something that gets in the way to achieve your goals? Forget about stinky and puffy liners that result in unresponsive and floppy skates. The Powerslide Swell skates will give you that extra boost when you need it the most but also provide a painless and comfortable fit for those long distance skating days.


Triskate Frame. When less means more, way more. The Powerslide 3 wheeled frames are a decisive unique feature to all Powerslide SWELL skates. Three big wheels offer a bigger footprint with more PU in contact with the ground and more response out of the corners. So that’s why less wheels mean more grip. Also three wheel frames can be lower and shorter than 4 wheel frames with smaller wheels, making it easy to maneuver and control your stride. With the center wheel right under the center of gravity, turns are easier and the whole skating experience feels more natural. All these features make it easier to adopt a proper skating habit and help you learn advanced techniques such as the double push. An additional benefit is the lower weight which makes skating more fun and less energy consuming, allowing to skate for a longer time and improving your endurance.


The Super skate, now offers two frame mountings options.


TRINITY mount. The next level.

165mm mount. Proven tradition.

Say hello to the best frame mounting system: TRINITY. Our new patented 3-point mounting system is specially designed to take 3 wheel skates to the next level of performance. The three points of fixation with asymmetrical wings in the front puts incredible power under your feet, overtaking any other 3 wheel frame in the market. Skating with three wheels feels more responsive, more pleasant and more natural than ever.

We maintain the option of traditional 165mm 2 points mounting used during the last three decades as the standard for fitness inline skates. The mounting you are already familiar but entirely revolutionary thanks to the Powerslide X-Slot mounting system which enables a precise adjustment of the frame to the sides and to the front and back, allowing the skater to customize the frame/boot position for the most optimal skating experience.

The TRINITY casted frames are a masterpiece on its own. The frames are made of 6063 T6-heat-treated aircraft aluminum. The unique shape of the frame wraps each wheel adding more stability and stiffness to the overall construction for an unmatched power transfer and performance. We included our signature X-slot design into the TRINITY frames as well giving you the opportunity to adjust your frames to the front and back and even sideways, allowing total customization of the frame position to optimize your skating.

The patented Unity frame is made out of a single piece of strong 6063 T6-heattreated aircraft aluminium, light and low as possible. This results in better stability and more control. The frame uses 8mm Allen key axles and fits maximum 100mm (or 110 and 125mm) wheel

size. The combination of the across slot in the frame along the X-slot in our boots enables you to wadjust the boot/frame setup without any dead spot according to your skating style and preferences. This special feature is unique in the fitness category.

The TRINITY mount enhances the PS Swell skates with the power for barrier breaking performance. Powerslide SWELL skates with TRINITY Mount: Black 125 Trinity, Dark Lava 125, Voltage Blue 110, Moon Grey 100.

UNDERCOVER Wheels. The most powerful wheels ever in a fitness skate. UC wheels are made in USA by Matter, the world leader in race wheel technology using only the finest possible materials. UC by Matter wheels are not only faster but also provide maximum rebound, grip and power transfer and yet, they offer unprecedented durability. UC by Matter wheels enhances our skates to leap past any other fitness skate, pushing the boundaries of traditional fitness skating with a new level of responsiveness and performance only seen before in the professional racing tracks. For more information check out the Undercover website: undercover-wheels.com


PS SWELL Wheels. The perfect balance of speed, grip and rebound. We have developed a special PU formula for all Powerslide SWELL wheels to guaranty high durability, unparalleled grip and maximum speed. The core with solid spokes transfers all the power from your legs to the ground providing an excellent push and stride. There is the right amount of PU over the hub to take away shocks and vibrations of the roads, but thanks to the long lasting and super high rebound urethane, these wheels are a great choice for fast pacing and also for long distance skating. One of the main benefits of Triskates over 4 wheel skates is they allow for a bigger size of wheels: 100, 110 and 125 mm. Bigger wheels not only last longer than small wheels, but also provide a more comfortable roll with less vibration. Experienced skaters chose Triskates because they can reach higher top speeds but at the same time Triskates are a better choice for beginners because they allows to skate over any surface and ground imperfection without problems, minimizing the risk of falls and improving the confidence.

3X100

3X110

3X125

3x100 mm wheels offer more control and faster acceleration. With smaller wheels the center of gravity is lower and the frames are shorter resulting in the most maneuverable and agile setup of the whole Powerslide SWELL collection, optimal for powerful urban skating and short intense sessions. It is also a great option for beginners or inexperienced skaters because the 100 mm still provide a more pleasant roll than traditional 4x80 mm wheels skates and less stress on the ankles than bigger wheel setups. 3x100 mm is our most conservative setup but it guaranties fun and performance at the same time.

3x110 mm wheels is probably the most popular 3 wheel setup with the best balance of frame length, height and speed, resulting in a great choice for any kind of training and environment, for short or long distances. The short frames offer a very maneuverable and agile skating experience and a very smooth roll over any surface, with a lot of grip and fast acceleration and rebound. Doesn’t matter what you do in your skates, you can’t go wrong with 3x110 mm.

The 3x125 mm wheel setup offers a fair balance of frame length and height and gives unparalleled speed. 125 mm are the biggest wheels you can fit in inline skates but thanks to the very tight frame you are not higher than in a 4x100 mm wheels setup. This fairly maneuverable and agile setup offers a great skating experience in any situation, but it really shines in long distance routes, maintaining your speed better than any other wheel size and providing unmatchable top speeds and the most cushion to roll over any surface. There is nothing close to a 3x125 setup, it guaranties tons of fun and once you get used to it, you will never go back to anything smaller!

They have a strong and solid steel cage and 7 steel balls which are honed and finished to perfection to guarantee a smooth and nice roll.

HABS Brake The Height Adjustable Brake System (HABS) offers a lot of advantages over ordinary heel brakes. The braking surface has a bigger contact area, for a more controlled braking action and a shorter stopping distance. The height adjustment function is perfect to find the preferred personal braking position, lower or higher, with straight legs for more braking power or angled legs. Also once worn down the brake pad can be lowered to keep the best braking point for more safety and security. The removable HABS break is for sure the best and most effective heel brake system on the market. Easy to mount to the frame and made out of the best materials available. Powerslide also offers replaceable breaking pads in different colors. Until you achieve a solid stopping technique and feel fully comfortable and safe skating without a break, Powerslide recommends to mount it to the frame and wear your break at all times. If you have any questions on how to mount the break, watch the tutorials on our PowerslideTV channel or contact your local skateshop for additional help.


Go further, harder and repeat. The Powerslide Swell skates help you perform your weekly training and still enjoy every single moment you are in your skates.



As with all things you wear, choosing your pair of skates is very personal and we offer a wide range of distinctive styles for everyone’s taste. The nice finish to detail, along with the rich and vivid colors round up the Powerslide SWELL collection.
