Viktor Thorup shows off the Rollerblade Hydrogen Pro Wheels
Viktor Thorup makes a lot of Youtube and Instagram videos and his latest one dropped today. We took a look and found it a little lacking in substance. Let’s take a look.
Wheels
There are several inline speed skate wheel brands in the market, but only two manufacturers make all of the best speed skating wheels in the world. They are MPC and AEND. Both wheel manufacturers are in the USA, and although many companies in Taiwan, Korea, China, and France have all said that they can make wheels as good as the USA, this has not been the case for over 20+ years. I don’t know if they just can’t get good urethane outside of the USA or if they do not know the best formula, but the US wheels are head and shoulders above the rest of the wheels. MPC manufactures its own wheels as well as OEM wheels for brands such as Bont, Cadomotus, and Junk. AEND produces Matter and Bont wheels. You will rarely ever see anyone at the inline world championships using any other brand of wheel.
EVERYTHING you ever wanted to know about inline speed skating wheels
During the early to mid-1990s, Kryptonics revolutionized the inline skating world with the introduction of their 72mm urethane wheels. This innovation marked a significant turning point as it made inline skates surpass quad roller skates in terms of speed.
