| During the push the 2 rear wheels stay fixed to the boot while the front 3 wheels extend your push and allow the use of your calf muscle. |
| Get ready for a huge leap in technology and speed. Introducing the new Bont Slingshot inline clap frame. We have proven performance gains on conventional frames confirmed by our professional team skaters on 5 continents. To find out more about clap frames click here. | |
| 1. | The pivot point on the frame and the point where you get maximum power to the road are almost the same point, right under the ball of your foot. |
| 2. | On 5 wheel clap skates you have the weight of 5 wheels and 10 bearings on each foot hitting back into your heal after every push. This shock will go straight up the bone in your foot and will probably cause Achilles tendon problems after prolonged use. With our frame, the force is spread between the front and the back of the frame, and because we only clap 3 wheels, there is much less force generated. |
| 3. | With only 3 wheels clapping we can build the spring into the frame, so you are closer to the ground, hence more stability. We can also use a smaller spring to save weight. |
| We
have also incorporated a built in stopper at the front of the frame to
stop your frame over extending.
