Review on Unleash Speed and Performance with Epic Skates 125mm Engage 3-Wheel Inline Speed Skates by Skyy Strickland

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Epic but very poor bearings and clips in the ankles

The first thing I noticed was that the bearings in these skates are terrible. Very bad spin. I tried to dispel my doubts and tried them, and one of the bearings even creaked. They look amazing (which is why I bought them in the first place) and a little cheaper than inline skates, but yeah, terrible bearings. Also, these skates are very tight on the inside of my ankles. These skates would be a great value at $150 if: 1. They didn't pinch me on the inside of my ankle. The wheel bearings were great. Their production and distribution cost the Chinese manufacturer around 50 dollars. Rollerblade makes similar but exponentially better skates, which you can pick up at Revain for just $80. Or save a few bucks more by buying these Epic skates straight off the water: =1556213727&s=gateway&sr=8-14You will spend 200 bucks on budget skates, why not save a few bucks more, bump the price around 30%, get ten times better quality and lifespan extension? Your choice!

Pros
  • High score for support and durability from the testers
