The FR Skates FR1 is an industry-standard skate. Whilst that’s only our opinion (as we don’t have any objective evidence to justify this argument), analysing customer feedback and the skate’s own incredible sales record, every skater should aim to use the FR1 once in their career and/or keep in their collection. But, what makes the FR1 so good?

The hard shell boot has undergone rigorous testing from elite athletes to ensure it offers both excellent performance and shock absorption. This means the skate is responsive whilst reducing road vibrations for a smoother ride. The boot's wide lace opening makes the fitment easy and accessible. The multi-positional cuff tailers ankle support to individual needs. 

Intuition offers the best premium boot liners globally, launching innovations in moldable liner technology and setting unparalleled industry standards. The proprietary Intuition Foam used exclusively in all liners will ensure feet are kept warm and comfortable and the skates responsiveness dramatically improved (whilst allowing for downsizing options).  

The FR1 baseplate is a big part of what makes the skate shine, although it's hidden when in use.

The baseplate allows users to adjust the frame position in all directions to personalise the ride, strides, and push-offs. But, the top characteristic is its contribution to energy transfer. The plate works with the frame and boot to provide exceptional responsiveness without impacting the comfort of the skate.
