What are the differences between 4x90mm vs. 3x100mm ?

[@ccsmotu]

With the kizerflux frames on my powerslide next skates I have both 4x90 or 3x100 on one frame. Love the fact that I can always choose.

[@nulldemokratiezwei7773]

I have the kizerflux frame and so could compare directly 4x90 vs 3x100. It was obvious that 4x90 was much better. 4 points of contact, better weight distribution and the roll is smoother, because there are 2 huge gaps in the 3-wheel setup. However, it is true that a shorter wheelbase like 243 or 255 mm gives better maneuverability, but a longer wheelbase gives more stability. I prefer stability and I dont think the maneuverability with a 273 mm wheelbase (4x90) is bad. When the wheelbase is crossing the 30 cm mark, it is becoming really difficult to make tight turns (was skating with a 5x84 setup today).

Great review, very informative. Good extra information in addition to the video.

[@johnviera3884]

I have both and prefer the 3x100 most of the time. They’re faster and roll over obstacles better. I only use the 4x90 in indoor skating or when I want to practice skill maneuvers in a controlled area.

Always nice to see a Pascal Briand video!

[@RichHayterSkater]

I'm always put off by the extra length. My Reign Kronos use a tiny 215mm 3x100 frame, and I absolutely love them! Sometimes even a 4x80 can feel long in comparison. Would like to try a 4x90 at some point, however. I've been impressed by the Trinity frame.

[@johnviera3884]

You probably don’t do a lot of speed skating with powerful long push strokes.

I've been enjoying the trinity 3x100 LOTS, it's the perfect street set up for me I think. Yet I've been waiting to do a marathon in my life, to prepare, I've just bought a 3x125 10" frames, to get used to the 125mm wheels, for faster speed. I do have a 12.5" frame, but it's really not easy getting used to, especially I skate 60mm aggressive too. Just wondering, is it possible to do a marathon with shorter 3x125 10" frames, even 3x100 frames? I only wish to finish within 2.5 hours to get a medal recognition. Thanks a lot, huge Powerslide / USD fan here.

[@PowerslideInlineskates]

Hi , yes with a 10" 3X125 or even 3X100 you can reach under 2.5h on a marathon. I'm quite sure you can reach under 2h with a bit of endurane training and a bit of technique. Coming from aggressive is a big advantage as you have a great balance. Focus on technique (check my channel eventually) and 2H will be quite easy i would say. Pascal Briand.

I got the next noir 125mm skates to relearn to skate they are to fast can I change the frame to a 4x90mm or 3x100mm

[@PowerslideInlineskates]

yes with trinity its easy to chang ethe frame no problem. You can also just downsize the wheels to 110 or 100 or you want less speed

[@shadostorm8375]

I have all 4 powerslide frames. Between 4x80, 4x90, 3x110 and 3x125, i find the 4x90 is most practical for urban freeskating. But i reli dig the looks of a 3x110 😁

[@shabfahimy6001]

I seriously love this channel

[@mixtermuxter8602]

This guy knows what he's talking about I agree 100% (which is rare)

[@PowerslideInlineskates]

thank you . you can check his youtube channel : Pascal Briand for even more content

Does anyone know i could put 165mm mounting (SEBA DELUXE 90MM COMPLETE FRAME) on these Powerslide boots?

[@lukasstrnad1564]

Hello, which variant is faster?

[@PowerslideInlineskates]

probalby 3X100 is faster.... but a variant 3X110 is for sure faster then.

[@hanj31]

I have 4x 90 which have been riding for like 15 years I want to get into tri skates. Should I go 3x 100 or 3x 110?

[@PowerslideInlineskates]

then better to jump on 3X110 and if needed you can always use 100mm wheels on them ;..but 110 are super good on many asphalt and great against vibration

[@sergeyzalozny9329]

Thank You, Pascal

[@REANZTV]

Hello i have phuzion trinity argon ash. My question, can i change in to hard boots? What hard boots is compatible on that kind of skates? Thank you!

[@PowerslideInlineskates]

Hi with trinity any choose will be compatible...you can go for NEXT or ZOOM boot for exemple.

[@neosupperolddesigner]

I'm 40 years old, I did roller skate for a while when I was a kid (I wasn't bad). Now I want to start from scratch and my goal is to triskate. I wonder if I should start with 4 wheels first or can I learn directly with 3x110? Also, is frame mounting standard? Can I use all frames in the same bot? My foot length is 46 47. How is the frame selected when buying? So, mounting size 46 and size 43 are the same?

[@PowerslideInlineskates]

hi no problem to start on 3 wheels directly, many people do that, specially if you skated before it should be quite easy. if you buy skate with TRINITY mounting , all frame and size with be compatible.

[@neosupperolddesigner]

Whats the video with the skater in yellow skates? She skates so fluidly!

@@PowerslideInlineskates wow thanks for getting back to a fan!

[@johnviera3884]

He is correct. I have both set ups. The 4x90 is more playful. The 3x100 is faster and more controlled.

Is powerslide a german brand?

yes it's a German brand based in Bindlach. Pascal Briand

Why don't you make a Trinity version of your Rapid 11" 277mm 4x90mm/3x100mm (904538) ? That one would be a winner ! Open option for customer, who like me, like the 4x but would be interested on trying a 3x.
