Continuation of one of the most valued brands in the freeskating and freestyle slalom segment - Seba.
After years of experimenting with different types of skating equipment, from aggressive to fitness to speed skating, the French from Universkate have redefined their product line.
FR Skates focuses on what has always been the core of Seba's offer - solid freeride skates and high-end models for freestyle slalom.
The FR1 models have been setting the technological standard for urban skates for over a decade, and even today they are ahead of most competition models.
The FR1 model is definitely one of the most recognizable freeskates in history, enjoying unflagging popularity for over a dozen years.
The Deluxe version is the best that has ever been released - thanks to the partnership with Intuition, a company that produces world-famous inner shoes for rollers, water sports and winter sports, the rollers that provide the liner used in this model were created.
The skates are based on a rigid shell made of resistant plastic, with a number of amenities that every skater will appreciate.
The shell itself has been cut a bit more than is usually found in skates of this class, which increases comfort, especially for people with a high instep.
Starting from the top of the shoe, we have the upper with the most modifiable positioning system of any skate available on the market today.
As many as 16 possible settings allow you to eliminate problems with bending the legs at the ankles, and also allows you to choose the right height of the upper for the user.
FR skates were also one of the first models to introduce a removable slider, i.e. protection of the side of the shoe to minimize its damage when sliding on wheels.
Naturally, this element is also present in the latest edition of FR1.
Another characteristic feature are metal blocks embedded in the bottom of the boot shell at the places where the frame is attached.
First of all, they allow you to adjust the position of the rail - each plate has 7 threaded holes for a screw. What's more, they stiffen the connection of the frame and the shoe, significantly contributing to improving the transmission of the energy of the push off to the wheels. The spacing of the fixing points is 165mm and the shoes are compatible with most frame models in this standard - also three-wheeled ones, which are easier to mount due to the special recess at the front plate, preventing the first wheel from rubbing against the shell.
Inside the FR1 Deluxe shell we find the Intuition liner - a world-renowned liner, characterized by exceptional durability, ankle support, foot hold and comfort. This liner has a number of amenities - a binding system, a removable pad stiffening the ankle area, points covered with rubber, preventing the liner from moving in the shell, and it is also thermoformable. Not only that - the Intuition Skate liner was designed with the FR shell in mind, thanks to which downsizing is often possible: going down a shell size lower than in the FR with a traditional liner. This results in a better fit, and thus - control and energy transfer.

The finger should touch the end of the roll but not be tucked in. Why ? The shoe/roller/liner will later disperse under the influence of temperature and sweat in the area of the heel/ankle, which will cause the foot to move backwards and at the front of the shoe, instead of pressure, there will be a slight slack.
