Motive 'Inlineskates'


When the sun beckons us outdoors, it gets us rolling. Inline skates are no longer just a fad but now get the masses on the move.

What gets us going are the wheels made of Elasturan® 6050, a plastic manufactured by Elastogran. The important aspect when it comes to wheels is the mix. Experts speak of "soft mix" for beginners since they need traction on the pavement, and of "sport mix" for the acrobats, whose wheels have to be hard and elastic. Experts know what makes a good wheel: it all boils down to the rebound. In addition to the abrasion resistance and durability, this term refers particularly to the elasticity. Professionals test their wheels for the right rebound by bouncing them.

The advantage of Elasturan® in wheels lies in its flexibility. The hardness, rebound, wheel strength, sturdiness and abrasion behavior can all be influenced with the right composition of the components.This results in a wide array of wheel types that can be matched to every skill level.
