It means cruising a track full of obstacles and your skates must be up to the challenge.Â

Much more than a Vi. skate When the Powerslide Vi collection first surfaced in 2011, the futuristic laceless skates intrigued the public with it’s unique style. They were one of the first to use a wire dial opposed to laces or straps to tighten and loosen a skate’s fit. But the differences between the old Powerslide Vi skates and the new V. collection goes further than dropping a letter. We wanted to combine the iconic DNA of the old Vi skates with innovative features and new technologies and for that we had to reimagine every single element and deconstruct it to its core. The result is the most advanced skate in the urban segment, blurring the boundaries of traditional hard boots and soft boots, the V. skate eludes labels setting a class on its own.
New shell All the Powerslide V. 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 foot on the side providing a more pleasant fit, flexing where you need it to and still providing the amount of support required for intense fitness training.
TRINITY mount The next level 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. The TRINITY mount enhances the PS V. skates with the power for barrier breaking performance.
PS V. wheels We have developed a special PU formula for all Powerslide V. wheels to guaranty high durability, good 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. These wheels will help you push on every stride and at the same time allow you to perform smooth slides, making the Powerlside V. the most versatile tool available for urban skating.
MYFIT RECALL liners We teamed up with MYFIT to create the best possible liners for our skates. All Powerslide V. skates feel great from the very first moment you put them on thanks to the new RECALL fit, a 3-D anatomically shaped padding and a special memory foam, offering the same great comfort and performance day after day. 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. The RECALL liners adjust by themself with the heat of the body but they can also be heat moldable to perfectly adjust to the shape of your foot.

New Atop lacing system
Reworked flap
The ATOP disc fast locking system, provides a great wrap and excellent support in seconds. Clap – Snap – Wrap. Get you skates on and off faster than ever, straight in straight out. The V. skates come with the most advanced fast lacing system in the market with a new crank wheel. The high quality unbreakable steel cables hug your foot for a precise fit, loosening and tightening with the spin of the disc. Also we added more fixation points improving the fit and distributing the pulling forces across all the foot ensuring a secure and comfortable fit without heel lifting.
Our signature plastic flap securing the foot from the top is one of the most remarkable elements of the V. skates. The flap itself is now slimmer, with extra room for the toes, locking your foot without any pressure points. Also the connection with the shell have been improved with a very strong yet flexible junction.
Triskates All the Powerslide V. skates are three wheeled skates AKA Triskates. Because three wheels are the present and future of inline skating, allowing for more maneuverability, agility and a better roll over any surface thanks to the big wheels. One of the main benefits of Triskates over traditional four wheel skates is they allow for a bigger size of wheels: 100, 110 and 125mm. 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. 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.

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!
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.
WICKED Precision Bearings The V. skates feature WCD ABEC 7 / 9 freespin bearings lubricated with light grease. They have a strong and solid nylon cage and 7 steel balls which are honed and finished to perfection to guarantee a smooth and nice freespin. WCD are the bearing of choice of the fastest man of the planet on inline skates: Bart Swings, professional speed skater and multiple world champion. To extend the lifespan of your bearings always keep them clean and well lubricated.

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 HABS 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. All the Powerslide V. skates include a break inside the box.
Skate safely at night Whilst skating in the dark can be a liberating and invigorating experience, it is essential to remain safe, become more aware of your surroundings and the conditions. Selecting well lit routes and and also being well lit yourself is the safest option. The Powerslide V. Radium White 100 with full reflective details is specifically designed for safe night skating.
