Road Bumps Get Inline

Newron Axion inline skates absorb the bumps in the road.

Just when you thought inline skating was yesterday’s news, blades get an innovation. Newron Sport developed tandem technology, grouping the wheels in pairs with a shock absorption and pivot system, so  skaters get an experience that’s more like ice skating. Inline skates typically present what’s termed “roller-stride,” which means bladers are unable to execute a toe kick with efficiency. That limitation hinders a part of the stride extension. Inline skaters also typically have slower acceleration, less extension and shorter recovery on strides. This is compared to ice skating, and ice hockey in particular. 

Newron skates have two pairs of wheels on each foot that pivot as the surface changes to absorb shock and create a smooth ride. This could explain the resurgence of inline skaters we see in the park after a few summers of fewer skaters. Newron makes skates for recreational inline skaters and wheel sets and full skates for hockey players looking to train on the pavement to supplement ice time.
