Usd Aeon 80 - Salvia

  • Inferno Caps

 

Usd Aeon 80 - Salvia is a perfect example of a modern skate which blurs the lines between aggressive inline and freeskating. Thus, even though it is firmly rooted in aggressive style, fans of urban skating should also consider them when looking for a fresh gear. Furthermore, if you live near a skatepark, these are an absolute must-have.

USD Aeons are based around unibody concept – the shell, soulplates and frame are one moulded piece. This may seem like a step back compared to interchangeable frames and souls, but this unique approach brings many benefits. First of all, even though Aeons are composite shell skates, they are one of the lightest on the market. Secondly, the unibody solution means that there are no screws, t-nuts and washers to mount the frame and soulplate – you don’t have to worry about lost hardware, damaged frame bolts and so on anymore! Last but not least – the energy transfer and movement precision is simply superb, making for fast and snappy skating experience. Comparing it to UFS, where plastic frame is attached via two screws to a soulplate, which in turn is attached to a shell, the difference is striking – Aeons win by a huge margin in terms of responsiveness.

The Aeon shell is highly resistant thanks to material used: the glass fibre reinforced plastic. It gives the skate boot adequate rigidity and slides well on ledges and rails. Furthermore, because the foot is placed so close to grinded surface, the physical feedback is excellent. The soulplates are also well-designed and have the same width from front to back, making locking on tricks easier.

Usd Aeon 80 - Salvia inline skates - worth knowing!
Frame length depends on size of the shell. The EU39-40 and EU41-42 sizes get the shortest wheelbase, measuring 265 mm. EU43-44 get 270 mm and finally, EU45-46 comes with 275 mm.

Cuff is enclosed at the front with overlapping „wings” underneath the buckle strap and have „cuts” designed to improve flex on tricks. It even comes with a canting system that allows you to place it higher for more support or even to counter pronation or supination issues with ankles!

Usd Aeon 80 - Salvia offers friendly flat setup out of the box. There’s no UFS frame mounting, so there are no limitations of it – this means that the frame can be low as possible as well as distance between wheels in each pair: 1st and 2nd / 3rd and 4th can be super short. Thanks to this design, the frame groove can be wider. In practice, there is no other 4x80mm skate (or frame) out there which would offer even remotely similar space for grinds.

This setup makes Usd Aeon 80 - Salvia a competent skate for basically anything you’ll throw at them. Aggressive tricks on street? Yes, of course. Skatepark, bowl? Why not? Freeskating? No problem at all. Without a shadow of doubt, this is the most versatile skate on the market as of now, plus it is a truly premium quality skate to begin with.
