Skates?
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Seba Fr1 or Fr2?
Fr1 price: 400+
Fr2 price: 300+
but....
according to
Inline skates wordpress Seba High Vs Seba FR1, FR2
The Seba High is specifically designed for slalom. It has a very tight fit through the foot so that any motion of your foot translates into motion of the skates. The smaller sizes also come with smaller frame (231mm vs. 243mm) to aid in maneuverability.
The FR1/FR2 are designed more for street skating and jumping. It has a wider toe box and a more comfortable fit. All sizes come with a 243mm frame. The FR1 has higher quality liner, wheels and bearings than the FR2.
You can use the FR skates for slalom, though they are not as specialized for it as the Seba Highs are, but if comfort for recreational skating is a priority, they might be a good choice for you.

Seba FR1 Vs Seba FR2
Wheels :
- Seba1 wheels are high quality wheels manufactured by a brand which is leader on the wheels market and have a exceptionnal grip and rolling quality.
- Seba2 wheels are standard wheels but still good quality.
Bearings :
- Seba1 bearings are Twincam ILQ 9 Bearings
- Seba2 bearings are ABEC5 standards
Spacers :
- Seba1 are mounted with precision aluminium spacers
- Seba2 are mounted with mass production aluminium spacers
Aluminium integrated plates :
- On Seba 1 skates, the mounting plates have 7 holes each
- On Seba 2 skates, the mounting plates have 3 holes each
HDS :
- Seba1 skates are already equipped with Heel Damping system (very hard) and a set of 3 additonnal pairs is in the box with different hardness (soft-medium-hard)
- Seba2 skates are sold without HDS, but it’s possible to buy it separately to equip the skates.
Liners :
- Seba1 skates are equipped with better quality liners with a thicker sole and the inside is made with coolmax.
- Seba2 are equipped with standard liners.
Closure / buckles :
- Seba1 skates are mounted with a double foot strap with a “spider pump” buckle. The cuff buckle is an “agressive” aluminium buckle with a clicker button.
- Seba2 skates are mounted with a simple power strap and the cuff buckle is a PU standard buckle with a blockig system.
Other differences are on the quality of the materials used for the covers.
