Bont Racer Speed NTS Roller Skate - Indoor and Outdoor - Youth, Boys, Girls, Men, Women

Founded in Sydney in 1975, Bont was the brainchild of recreational speed skater Inze Bont, who decided to fiberglass the back of his leather speed skates to gain more support. Bont was the pioneering footwear manufacturer to utilize exotic materials like fiberglass in 1974, Kevlar in 1986, and carbon fiber in 1989, as well as being the first to incorporate heat-moldable resins and thermoplastics. In the 1980s, Bont's unique one-piece manufacturing technique allowed the brand to dominate the quad racing scene with the lightest and strongest boots on the market. Bont was also the first quad skate company to incorporate features such as lace covers, velcro, and aluminum strengtheners in their boots.

It's important to note that skate boot sizing is quite different from your average shoe size or other skate brand sizing. Bont boots are designed to fit like a second skin for maximum control, so it's crucial to refer to the provided size conversion chart to determine the appropriate Bont size based on your foot length in millimeters.

Bont's Racer roller skate boasts unmatched performance, featuring a heat-moldable, lightweight quad boot with the latest advancements in boot technology, including the use of fiberglass, heat-moldable resins, and innovative layup techniques. Notably, the Racer is 100% vegan, with a microfiber outer skin, microfiber liner, and a fiberglass base.

The Tracer NTS speed roller skating plate, which is compatible with the Racer, is crafted from extruded 6061 aircraft aluminum with cast trucks and hangers, making it both strong and affordable. The 7-degree kingpin angle provides excellent stability at high speeds. Paired with the 63x42mm Blue 96A Evolve Speed Skating wheels, which are made with premium, high-rebounding urethane and high-precision ABEC5 bearings, the Tracer NTS plate delivers a smooth and responsive ride.
