FR Skates FR1 80 V3 Black Skates

FR Skates FR1 80 V3 Black: the evolution of an urban freeride benchmark

The FR Skates FR1 80 V3 Black is the latest evolution of the renowned FR1 80 platform, designed for skaters looking for a precise, versatile and performance-focused urban freeride skate.

The V3 retains the key characteristics of the FR1 platform: rigid shell construction, strong lateral support, compact 4x80 mm setup and excellent manoeuvrability. It now adds a lighter frame and a refined matte-black finish.

New 243 mm frame: 15% lighter

The major technical update of the FR1 80 V3 is its new lightweight 243 mm flat frame. Its minimalist profile reduces unnecessary weight while retaining the compact geometry that makes the 4x80 configuration so effective for technical urban skating.

The new frame is 15% lighter than the previous FR1 80 generation. Reduced frame weight contributes to a more responsive setup during acceleration, crossovers, transitions and repeated changes of direction.

The 4x80 mm wheel configuration also keeps the skate close to the ground, providing an effective balance between stability, control and manoeuvrability.

Hard-shell construction for precise control

The FR Skates FR1 80 V3 Black features a rigid polymer hard shell designed to provide the structural support required for precise and dynamic skating.

This construction provides strong lateral support and efficient power transfer, making the FR1 80 V3 particularly suitable for urban freeride, city skating and technical skating.

An articulated cuff supports the ankle while maintaining the movement required for dynamic skating. Adjustable cuff buttons allow the cuff position to be fine-tuned according to the skater's preferences.

7-hole Energy Plates and 165 mm mounting

The FR1 80 V3 uses 7-hole Energy Plates combined with a 165 mm frame mounting system.

This configuration provides multiple frame-positioning possibilities, allowing skaters to adjust the setup according to their skating style and personal preferences.

FR Street Invaders 80 mm 84A wheels

The FR Skates FR1 80 V3 comes equipped with FR Street Invaders 80 mm / 84A wheels, providing a versatile combination of grip, control, rolling performance and durability for everyday urban use.

The 80 mm wheel diameter promotes agility and quick edge-to-edge transitions. This makes the setup particularly suitable for urban freeride skating, city sessions and technical manoeuvres.

FR Twincam MW9 Titalium Freeride bearings

The Street Invaders wheels are paired with FR Twincam MW9 Titalium Freeride bearings, completing the performance-focused setup of the FR1 80 V3.

Combined with the new lightweight 243 mm frame, this configuration is designed to deliver smooth rolling performance while retaining the responsiveness required for technical urban skating.

Support and comfort for urban sessions

Inside the shell, the removable and replaceable liner provides comfort while making maintenance and future replacement easier.

A Premium Insole completes the internal setup.

The closure system combines a secure buckle and ratchet strap to hold the foot and instep firmly in position during demanding skating sessions.

Refined matte-black finish

The FR1 80 V3 Black introduces a cleaner and more understated visual identity. The buckles and buckle heads now feature a matte-black finish that integrates seamlessly with the Black shell.

Together with the minimalist frame design, these details give the FR Skates FR1 80 V3 a modern and technical appearance while retaining the recognisable FR1 architecture.

A versatile skate for freeride, city skating and freestyle

Thanks to its rigid shell and compact setup, the FR Skates FR1 80 V3 4x80 mm is designed for a wide range of disciplines including freeride, urban skating, city skating and freestyle.

The combination of support, precision and manoeuvrability makes it a versatile platform for skaters who want one pair of skates for both city transportation and technical sessions.
