The Endless 100 frame is a high quality frame that is suitable for multiple wheel set-ups and has a balanced rocker.
The Endless 100 frames are designed entirely with freeride in mind, for skaters who want to achieve high speeds while remaining agile and playful.
That's why the frames are rockered in the 4-wheel set-up. (You can't consider them a slalom frame, because for that the wheelbase is too long and the rocker is too small. It is not a 2 mm banana set-up like e.g.
FR Deluxe V3 rockered frame, which is a real slalom frame).
But for the freerider, they do have the perfect blend of stability, speed and agility. And that is why this Endless 100 frame is so popular.
Only the 4-wheel set-up is rockered. The 3-wheel set-up is flat.
You can use the frame with 2 different set-ups:
- 4 x 100mm
- 3 x 110mm
(in the product specifications we write that the max. wheel diameter is 100 mm, but that is in the 4-wheel set-up)
The pair of frames includes 8 axles (but no spacers).
We categorise the frames under frames with a mounting of
165 mm with raised heel
, but in fact the frames have a mounting of 180 mm. Nevertheless, we categorise them under mountings
165mm with raised heel
, because it is on this type of inline skate boots that the frame fits. But then only on the boots that have frame plates with 3, 5, 7 or 9 holes in them, so that a 180 mm mounting becomes possible.
A picture makes everything clear. Below you can see how the Endless 100 frame is preferably attached to an inline skate boot with a frame plate with 7 holes.

For those in doubt, here we list the inline skate boots with which the Endless 100 frame is fully compatible:
FR1, FR2 (2016 and newer), FR3, Seba Trix 2, Seba High Light (Carbon, V2), Seba and FR iGoR, FR Daria, Flying Eagle F6/F7, Flying Eagle Drift, Micro Delta F (carbon cuff)
This means that the frames are not compatible with the following skates: FRW, FRX, FR2 from before 2016, Seba GT, Seba Trix (5-hole), Powerslide Imperial, Powerslide Hardcore Evo, Rollerblade Metroblade, Micro MT Plus, Micro Delta (plastic cuff). But no worries: the
Endless 100 RB Frame is a comparable frame of the same brand with a real 165 mm mounting with raised heel and it will fit all skates with 165mm mounting. (Skaters who have inline skate boots with Trinity mounting, should look at the
Endless Trinity 90.)

Most skaters don't use a brake on an Endless 100 frame, but if you think you need a brake anyway, you should choose these brakes:
- For the 4x100 set-up you need size L of the Powerslide Urban brake.
- For the 3x110 set-up there is no suitable brake at the moment.
Strengths:
- In contrast to other multiple set-up frames (from other brands), the height of the 4-wheel set-up is not affected to necessarily allow for a 3-wheel set-up. There is only a 1mm gap between the front frame bolt and the second wheel in the 4-wheel set-up (as there should be).
- The balanced rocker 4-wheel set-up is ideal for freeriding.
- The use of the strongest aluminium makes the frame very responsive.
Weaknesses
- Even with the best frames we have no problem finding a few weak points: we simply raise the bar. 😁
For example, some people find it aesthetically disturbing that there are holes visible for the axles of the unused wheel set-up.
- The 3x110 setup only works with bullet profile wheels, not with full profile wheels.
- Because the mounting is 180 mm instead of 165 mm, the frame will only fit FR and Seba skates with a frame plate.
Some more technical specifications:
- Wheelbase:303 mm
- CNC-machined from 6061-T6 aluminum
- Weight = 320 grams, without spacers and axles
- And most important: the mounting is 180 mm, not 165 mm
