The Seba E3 80 Premium Skates are the perfect companion for entry-level skaters and those looking for quality on the market at a bargain price. They've upped the spec in this, the premium version; with a ratchet mid-strap and ABEC 9 bearings.
As part of Seba's 'freeride' range the skates live up to the name. The plastic injected boot has been moulded with ventilation in mind. A crucial aspect for longer sessions, reducing sweat and potential overheating. Another plus is that the boot is very lightweight without compromising on overall support, making them fast and responsive (and free...ride).
The X2R frame offers a unique opportunity to ride both flat and rocker configurations. Flat setups offer a traditional and stable ride whilst the optional rocker is perfect when you want to dabble in freestyle or slalom, being more manoeuvrable.
If you need a brake the works perfectly!
The Seba 80mm 82a wheels will keep you rolling with plenty of grip. Great for practising your stride and push-off or if you fancy hitting the dancefloor at the roller disco.
A removal liner is included which provides decent comfort and ankle support. This is combined by the 45 buckle fastening strap which will stop any unwanted movement inside the boot.
The difference between the standard version and the premium version is the 45 mid strap and the bearings.
Standard - Abec 5 bearings and velcro mid-strap
Premium Blueberry - Abec 9 bearings and ratchet mid strap
Our word...
The Seba E3 Premium is an excellent choice for beginner skaters and those looking for quality at a bargain price. The E3 80 Premium has many features found on models much more expensive, making this a great all-rounder. Just as at home for quick city bursts, long-distance cruises with friends or trying to lace some technical tricks on cones. This skate has the potential to offer a lot to almost anyone.
These are a 'freestyle' skate so do not come with a heel brake, however other methods of stopping are available... like lamp posts, or grass verges... or the old classic: Turning-Around-And-Going-The-Other-Way.
