Innovation, precision, performance.
With the Powerslide V. collection it comes a whole new era to experience inline skating in the
urban environment. It doesn’t only score with its extraordinary design, but also with precise and
comfortable fitting.
The Powerslide V. skates are specifically designed for urban training and workout. Skating in the
city is not always perfect, it means rolling over cracks and sewer covers, surfing that bank to get
speed, taking a tight turn in a corner, skating around people and cars. It means cruising a track full
of obstacles and your skates must be up to the challenge.

Much more than a Vi. skate
When the Powerslide Vi collection first surfaced in 2011, the futuristic laceless skates intrigued
the public with it’s unique style. They were one of the first to use a wire dial opposed to laces or
straps to tighten and loosen a skate’s fit. But the differences between the old Powerslide Vi skates
and the new V. collection goes further than dropping a letter.
We wanted to combine the iconic DNA of the old Vi skates with innovative features and new technologies
and for that we had to reimagine every single element and deconstruct it to its core. The
result is the most advanced skate in the urban segment, blurring the boundaries of traditional hard
boots and soft boots, the V. skate eludes labels setting a class on its own.

New shell
All the Powerslide V. skates include a
redesigned shell with flex cuts, a unique
technology developed by Powerslide to
maximize the comfort without compromising
the performance. The new shell
adapts itself to the shape of your foot
on the side providing a more pleasant
fit, flexing where you need it to and
still providing the amount of support
required for intense fitness training.
TRINITY mount
The next level
Our new patented 3-point mounting
system is specially designed to take
3 wheel skates to the next level of
performance. The three points of
fixation with asymmetrical wings in
the front puts incredible power under
your feet, overtaking any other 3 wheel
frame in the market. Skating with
three wheels feels more responsive,
more pleasant and more natural than
ever.
The TRINITY mount enhances the PS
V. skates with the power for barrier
breaking performance.

PS V. wheels
We have developed a special PU
formula for all Powerslide V. wheels to
guaranty high durability, good grip and
maximum speed.
The core with solid spokes transfers
all the power from your legs to the
ground providing an excellent push and
stride.
There is the right amount of PU over
the hub to take away shocks and
vibrations of the roads, but thanks
to the long lasting and super high
rebound urethane, these wheels are a
great choice for fast pacing and also
for long distance skating.
These wheels will help you push on
every stride and at the same time allow
you to perform smooth slides, making
the Powerlside V. the most versatile
tool available for urban skating.

MYFIT RECALL liners
We teamed up with MYFIT to create
the best possible liners for our skates.
All Powerslide V. skates feel great
from the very first moment you put
them on thanks to the new RECALL fit,
a 3-D anatomically shaped padding and
a special memory foam, offering the
same great comfort and performance
day after day. It means our skates are
not only more comfortable than ever
but they are designed to stay that way
providing the same pleasant fit either
if you skate a few minutes or for hours.
The RECALL liners adjust by themself
with the heat of the body but they
can also be heat moldable to perfectly
adjust to the shape of your foot.

your liners visit the MYFIT website:

New Atop lacing system
The ATOP disc fast locking system, provides a great wrap and excellent
support in seconds. Clap – Snap – Wrap. Get you skates on and off faster
than ever, straight in straight out. The V. skates come with the most advanced
fast lacing system in the market with a new crank wheel. The high
quality unbreakable steel cables hug your foot for a precise fit, loosening
and tightening with the spin of the disc. Also we added more fixation
points improving the fit and distributing the pulling forces across all the
foot ensuring a secure and comfortable fit without heel lifting.
Reworked flap
Our signature plastic flap securing the foot from the top is one of the
most remarkable elements of the V. skates. The flap itself is now slimmer,
with extra room for the toes, locking your foot without any pressure
points. Also the connection with the shell have been improved with a very
strong yet flexible junction.

Triskates
All the Powerslide V. skates are
three wheeled skates AKA Triskates.
Because three wheels are the
present and future of inline skating,
allowing for more maneuverability,
agility and a better roll over any
surface thanks to the big wheels.
One of the main benefits of
Triskates over traditional four
wheel skates is they allow for a
bigger size of wheels: 100, 110 and
125mm. Bigger wheels not only last
longer than small wheels, but also
provide a more comfortable roll
with less vibration.
Experienced skaters chose Triskates
because they can reach higher top
speeds. At the same time Triskates
are a better choice for beginners
because they allows to skate over
any surface and ground imperfection
without problems, minimizing the
risk of falls and improving the
confidence.

3X125 3X110 3X110
The 3x125 mm wheel setup offers
a fair balance of frame length and
height and gives unparalleled speed.
125 mm are the biggest wheels you
can fit in inline skates but thanks
to the very tight frame you are not
higher than in a 4x100 mm wheels
setup. This fairly maneuverable and
agile setup offers a great skating
experience in any situation, but
it really shines in long distance
routes, maintaining your speed
better than any other wheel size
and providing unmatchable top
speeds and the most cushion to
roll over any surface. There is
nothing close to a 3x125 setup, it
guaranties tons of fun and once
you get used to it, you will never go
back to anything smaller!
3x100 mm wheels offer more
control and faster acceleration.
With smaller wheels the center
of gravity is lower and the frames
are shorter resulting in the most
maneuverable and agile setup
of the whole Powerslide SWELL
collection, optimal for powerful
urban skating and short intense
sessions. It is also a great option
for beginners or inexperienced
skaters because the 100 mm still
provide a more pleasant roll than
traditional 4x80 mm wheels skates
and less stress on the ankles than
bigger wheel setups. 3x100 mm is
our most conservative setup but it
guaranties fun and performance at
the same time.
3x110 mm wheels is probably the
most popular 3 wheel setup with
the best balance of frame length,
height and speed, resulting in a
great choice for any kind of training
and environment, for short or long
distances. The short frames offer
a very maneuverable and agile
skating experience and a very
smooth roll over any surface, with
a lot of grip and fast acceleration
and rebound. Doesn’t matter what
you do in your skates, you can’t go
wrong with 3x110 mm.

WICKED Precision Bearings
The V. skates feature WCD ABEC 7 / 9 freespin bearings lubricated with light grease.
They have a strong and solid nylon cage and 7 steel balls which are honed and finished
to perfection to guarantee a smooth and nice freespin. WCD are the bearing of choice
of the fastest man of the planet on inline skates: Bart Swings, professional speed
skater and multiple world champion. To extend the lifespan of your bearings always
keep them clean and well lubricated. For further instructions watch the tutorials in
our Powerslide TV channel or contact your local skateshop for additional help. For

HABS Brake
The Height Adjustable Brake System (HABS) offers a lot of advantages over ordinary
heel brakes. The braking surface has a bigger contact area, for a more controlled
braking action and a shorter stopping distance. The height adjustment function
is perfect to find the preferred personal braking position, lower or higher. With
straight legs for more braking power or angled legs. Also once worn down the brake
pad can be lowered to keep the best braking point for more safety and security.
The HABS is for sure the best and most effective heel brake system on the market.
Easy to mount to the frame and made out of the best materials available.
All the Powerslide V. skates include a break inside the box.

Skate safely at night
Whilst skating in the dark can be a liberating and invigorating experience, it is
essential to remain safe, become more aware of your surroundings and the conditions.
Selecting well lit routes and and also being well lit yourself is the safest option.
The Powerslide V. Radium White 100 with full reflective details is specifically designed
for safe night skating.

V. for VERSUS
Proud to be different, the V. collection is defined by innovation, style and performance.
An iconic skate evolved for today’s urban skater, the PS V. skates now stand at the forefront of futuristic sports
fashion. The top flap and the fast lacing system stay true to the signature look, with the addition of a leather
upper and reflective details the result is a sleek and minimal design to fit the modern skater.
Don’t let conventions get in the way of your training, the PS V. skate is a statement Versus stagnation, V. conventions,
V. limits.
Looking into the future. Bringing inline skating into the next era.
