This FR SL Carbon Freestyle has a full carbon boot and is equipped with a rockered frame of carbon.
It distinguishes itself from other carbon skates such as the Trix and High Light Carbon because the cuff is also made of carbon. The FR SL Carbon Freestyle skate is also equipped with the
FR MPC Junk Freestyle wheels. This boot, this frame and these wheels are of course ideal for freestyle. Among other things the frame offers great stiffness and reactivity.
Sizes EU 34 up to 39 have a 231 mm rockered carbon frame with 4x76 mm wheels; sizes EU 40 up to 47 have a 243 mm rockered carbon frame with 4x80 mm wheels.
It is the preferred skate of the champions because they can perform all their tricks with the best precision.
The FR SL Carbon Freestyle is also available in another flavour: with a 243 mm flat frame of carbon. That is the
FR SL Carbon 80 Flat.
The etymology of "SL" is unclear, but rumour has it that it is the abbreviation of
Sl
iding Tiger. (Makes more sense to me than that it is the abbreviation for ex World Champion
sl
alom whose name is
S
ébastien
L
affargue.) 😉
