Choosing FR Skates in 2024: FRX, FR1, FR2 etc…

The FR Skates are difficult to choose due to there being a number of seemingly similar variants at different price-points. Jake takes a closer look at the FRX, FR3, FR2, FR1 and FR1 Deluxe skates to break down the differences between models. Watch this buyers guide to decide which FR skates model is the most suited to your needs or budget.

We're showing all 80mm versions. If you're unsure what to buy, just stick with the 80mm verison.
This is a guide ONLY for the best-selling, flagship FR 'Freeride' mould skates (Not FR Slalom & Carbon Fiber models). We omitted a few Freeride models (like the UFR 90, FR Junior, FRW etc) because we didn't want to overcomplicate things and the 5 models shown are the relevant ones to 99% of people.
