The USD Aeon 80 combines the speed of 4x80mm wheels with one of the most innovative and capable aggressive skate set-ups.
The USD Aeon 80 is the perfect combination of freeride and aggressive skating.
The unibody design of the USD AEON 80 brings the skate low to the ground even while riding 80mm wheels. By combining the boot, frame, and soul plate into a single piece, the USD AEON 80 needs fewer parts, reducing weight while giving you a solid base and excellent power transfer.
The skate comes with a strong, supportive, two-way ‘rockerable' cuff that wraps around your foot for maximum sideways support on grinds and carves while still providing good frontal flex for efficient strides.
The biggest selling point for specifically the USD Aeon 80 though are the wheels (or wheel set-up). A 4 x 80mm wheel set up gives you the power to cruise at the same speeds as with a freeride inline skate AND do grinds at the same time with the built-in H-groove, soul and negative grind plates. This inline skate is recommended for those who are constantly being pulled between doing tricks and going fast. This skate combines the best of both and does as good a job as possible.
The comfortable MYFIT Skinny Boy Dual-Fit Liner gives good cushioning on landings and is heatmoldable.
Strengths:
- The 4 x 80mm wheel set up in combination with a decent h-groove and generous soul and negative plates is amazing for getting high speeds and doing grinds with the same pair of skates.
- The unibody concept makes this skate extra light and stable.
- The liner is very comfortable and also heatmouldable.
Weaknesses:
- Not possible to switch the frames due to the unibody concept. However, USD gives you the option to buy the shell with the frame attached as a replacement part.
- The big wheels and flat set up make it harder to learn aggressive inline skate tricks (especially for beginners).
The sizes EU 39-40 and EU 41-42 have a 265mm wheel base, the size EU 43-44 a 270mm wheel base and the size EU 45-46 a 275mm wheel base.
