Product Description

Who this setup is for

If you appreciate the classic Quadstar ride but want a sharper aesthetic and dialed performance, this edition is for you. This skate can be used by skaters of any level, including new skaters, but it has been designed for the elite-level skater. The 59 mm wheel profile ensures quick acceleration and easy maneuvering, while the plate and boot combination provides solid support when you need to drive power through your edges.

The boot, comfort, and fit

The Quadstar boot is designed to strike a balance between support and responsiveness. The boot is very lightweight. The fit is secure through the heel and midfoot, with a slightly relaxed toe feel for comfort over longer sessions. The boot uses heat-moldable construction, allowing you to fine-tune hot spots or tighten heel hold at home. The upper uses durable microfiber with strategic reinforcement for stability during crossovers, lateral pushes, and quick stops. Internal padding supports the ankle without feeling bulky, providing precise feedback from the floor.

Heat molding advantages

A gentle oven heat mold allows you to shape the boot to fit your foot. This helps reduce pressure points, improves energy transfer, and increases confidence when you are committing to deep edges. Heat molding also extends comfort over time, especially for skaters who train multiple times per week.

The plate, control, and stability

The black Bont Athena plate is a high-end aluminum plate chosen for power and a predictable feel. Its geometry supports firm edge control while keeping transitions smooth as you shift from toe to heel and back again. The aluminum base enhances stiffness for improved energy return, which you will notice when accelerating out of corners or maintaining speed down the straight. Cushions made in the USA provide a responsive center point that makes micro adjustments natural, so you can fine-tune turn-in and return to center to match your skating style.

The wheels, grip, and speed

Royal Assassin wheels in 59 mm give you a nimble, low profile footprint that loves fast footwork and quick lateral movements. The urethane formula is consistent and durable, so your wheels feel familiar from session to session. Choose the hardness that suits your surface and style.

• 85A, best for slippery floors or when you want more grip and confidence on slidey surfaces.

• 92A, a balanced indoor option for mixed floors, combining roll speed with dependable edge hold.

• 96A, best for tighter floors where you want maximum speed and a firm feel under load.

The 59 mm size is a favorite in derby and indoor training because it accelerates quickly and helps you stay low through corners. It also reduces wheel bite risk on deeper leans, keeping movements clean.

The bearings, roll, and reliability

Bont Pro bearings arrive pre-lubricated for a smooth initial spin. They are designed for low rolling resistance and consistent performance. Good bearings reduce wasted energy, help you maintain speed with fewer strokes, and simplify maintenance.

How the components work together

A supportive heat-moldable boot locks you in. The Athena plate translates your push into forward speed with minimal flex. Low-profile Royal Assassin wheels keep the setup agile and easy to place. Pro bearings tie it together with efficient roll. The result is a skate that feels quick off the line, composed at speed, and stable when you are working close to the edge.

Setup guidance

• If you are new to 59 mm wheels, expect faster direction changes and a more connected feel on the floor. Start with slightly tighter trucks, then back them off as you adapt.

• Select wheel hardness by considering your floor first. If you are slipping, go softer. If you are sticking or scrubbing speed, go harder. When in doubt for indoor mixed floors, 92A is a strong starting point.

• Heat mold before your first full session. A proper mold helps the boot settle to your foot shape, improving comfort right away.

Lock in the limited edition colorway while sizes are available. Choose your wheel hardness, set your trucks, heat mold the boot, and enjoy a fast, controlled ride on any indoor session.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which wheel hardness should I choose for indoor floors?
If your floor is slick or polished, 85A adds grip and confidence. For variable indoor floors, 92A offers a balanced mix of grip and speed. If your floor is tight with high traction and you want maximum roll, go with 96A.

Is the Quadstar boot heat moldable at home?
Yes. Follow the recommended low-temperature oven molding process to fine-tune the heel and forefoot. Heat molding helps reduce pressure points and improves edge control by increasing heel lock.

What makes the Athena plate a good match for 59 mm wheels?
The aluminum plate delivers solid power transfer and a steady center point, which pairs well with the quick acceleration of 59 mm wheels. You get fast turn-in for footwork and stable edging for sustained speed.
