Following the trend we changed the mounting distance on the R2 model to 195mm mounting
distance now. We also added a torsion bar in order to resist the higher impact that appears on shells
featuring the longer mounting distance. The R2 2008 has not been changed in general in terms of
construction and fit. The design is new and fresh.
In other words – we improved our best seller. The R2 is a skate with a very good fit and a top pricevalue
ratio. The boot comes with an „old school“ cut in the back. It gives speed beginners a better
support in the ankle area. The neoprene/Lorino lining and the little wider last making the boot
very comfortable without loosing performance. More than 90% of all skaters that tried the R2 feel
well from the very first beginning. The boot is ready to skate from first minute!
Once again we want to repeat that our R-series is heatmouldable although we use a composite shell
construction. Please pay attention to the heating instructions that have been given bevore in our
FAQ´s.
Attention! We recommend to combine this boot with a frame featuring the so called ALONG
mounting slot. You can still use frames with regular hoizontal mounting slots, but the possibilities
to adjust the boot – frame – set up will be limited in this case.
