Product Description

This is where stability meets versatility. For the cross-trainer who wants the speed of big wheels along with the support of traditional cuff height. The added stability of the Mach 90 comes from high ankle lacing integrated with the cuff height for a secure feel. Its versatility comes from the 90mm wheels and ILQ-9 bearings for smooth effortless glide over any terrain. Combine that with the comfort of the K2 Softboot and you have the perfect skate for speed and distance.In 2002, TwinCam introduced a 6 ball design engineered specifically for inline skate usage. This design has proved to be the best inline bearings on the market due to its increased load rating. K2 has spent countless hours testing bearings and nothing we have tested rolls as smooth or fast as a TwinCam ILQ bearing.

K2 Sports Men's Mach 90 X-Training 2012 Inline Skates (Black/Green/Red, 5) Review

This 2012 model has a Speed Lace system (see Note 1), much like the K2 MOTO & EXO 6.1 models from years ago. Very handy.

All else is the same as the 2011 model, except for the questionable skate and wheel colors. So, my 2011 review is repeated below.

I have not found a better skate for under 200 buckss. This 90mm model is ideal if you do a lot of skating for exercise. Smoother than 84mm models. Replacement wheels, such as Rollerblade 90mm Wheel Kit with SG9 Bearings are affordable.

I avoid the K2 models with mixed wheel sizes. They have little plastic offsets that like to fall out when you clean & rotate your wheels, and wheel rotation is messy.

Very comfortable.

Durability: I had the similar K2 "Moto", the nearly identical "Moto 90", and the Mach 90. The padding and everything have held up well up for 2000+ miles.

Sizing: is accurate.

Pricing: Yearly models launch in November (usually color change only). Shop around to get them for under 200, or last year's model for under 160. If amazon doesn't have your size, google it. Then google "coupon {sitename where you found it}".

Note 1: Speed Lace - Tighter laces with no tying. Nice time saver if you skate a lot. Locking mechanism in the tongue (see pic). This new feature is not mentioned in the amazon listing.
