Lightning Sporting Goods offer the Lightning 10 skates with four giant 100mm wheels that give you the thrust of five wheels without the significant weight increase. It is great but the relevant question would be how does one skate on them?
Like A pro! They are great as was discovered in a series of tests. The Lightning 10s will have you in heaven riding on these roller blades. The speed element definitely gets greater velocity out of each thrust than most standard skates. Plus the auto shaping, dual-density liner ensures the most perfect fit. No energy gets wasted and feet stay high and dry.
These roller blades for men come in sizes 6 through 13 ½. They are certainly a bit pricey but then you are buying professional roller blades. Worth mentioning is the hardware that goes into the Lightning 10s. They include 326mm aluminum frame technology with ultra light racing carbon fiber shell with laces. They also have 3 power straps and an adjustable locking buckle providing unwavering support without unnecessary drag.
The Lightning 10s come with standard four 100mm wheels having great bearings and removable wear pads on the uppers. They look heavy but somehow they keep the weight down. Also they are very stable at high speed. They encourage a proper stroke and the energy transfer is just super. The bottom line is that these roller blades are the skates to get into if you're keen on speed, comfort and ride longevity.
