INLINE FIT is turning the outdoors into your very own gym membership.

Get Inline Fit is the gospel of K2 Skate and together in 2015, we’re spreading it to the masses. In tandem with the K2 Ambassador Team, we’ve made a brand commitment to reintroduce skating to our most important demographic, YOU. Through our Get Inline Fit campaign, we will be hitting the streets alongside experienced and novice skaters alike, working up a sweat, soaking up some rays, and taking advantage of everything inline skating has to offer.

Regardless of your skill or fitness level, this is the year to join the movement that's shaking up the skate industry. This is the year to Get Inline Fit.* K2SKATES.COM #K2INLINEFIT

5 REASONS TO GET INLINE. ONE: Great fitness benefits: low impact, highly aerobic, and fun.

TWO: A great group activity… and let’s face it, getting active with friends sure beats going solo.

FOUR: We’re all about Vitamin D. And you’re bound to get plenty of it this summer if you trade in your gym pass for a pair of skates.

FIVE: Boardwalks make a great training ground… the people watching isn’t bad either.

TIME TESTED WINNER

Question: Why doesn’t anyone brag about the fit of a hardboot inline skate anymore?

Answer: The invention of the revolutionary K2 SoftBoot® Inline Skate is that much better.

K2’s patented Original SoftBoot® Technology creates a lightweight piece of performance footwear that acts as a breathable second skin for your foot.

This shoe-like design has set the standard for fit and performance in inline skates for over 20 years. ANY QUESTIONS?

Enjoy the comfort of the Original SoftBoot® Technology on these and other featured models: Men's VO2 90 Boa®, Women's VO2 Boa®, Men's VO2 90 Pro, Women's VO2 90 Pro, Men's F.I.T. X Pro, and Women's Alexis X Pro.

READY. SET. BOA. ®

By the time you finish reading this your 4 year old will have already put on his skates and lapped you TWICE. IT'S THAT EASY. The Boa® Closure System works in concert with the K2 SoftBoot® to deliver the best fit and function in a K2 Inline Skate.

Regardless of whether you choose Boa® for it’s “easy-on, easy-off” properties or for its “shift-on-the-fly” adjustability, it will only take one skate to become a believer in the best closure system on the market.

Experience the Boa® Closure System throughout each category in our line offering. Featuring the Men's VO2 90 Boa®, Women's VO2 90 Boa®, Men's F.I.T. Boa®, Women's Alexis Boa® and our kid's Sk8 Hero Boa® and Charm Boa®.

VORTECH VENTILATION. IT'S LIKE AIR CONDITIONING FOR YOUR FEET.

Designed to cool your feet with a series of strategically placed vents and channels, the Vortech Ventilation System is cheaper than central air and more fun.

We developed the Vortech Ventilation System so you can say goodbye to sweaty, wrinkly feet. With a series of input and output channels in the base of the skate, air easily moves through the footbed with each stride, keeping your feet cool and dry. BRING ON THE HEAT, WE'RE NOT AFRAID.

Experience the Vortech Ventilation System in all of our X-Training Skates. Featuring the Men's VO2 100 X Boa®, Men's VO2 100 X Pro, Men's VO2 90 Boa®, Men's VO2 90 Pro, Women's V02 90 Boa® and, Women's V02 90 Pro.

HI-LO TECHNOLOGY IS BUSINESS IN THE FRONT. PARTY IN THE BACK.

People originally thought we were crazy to build a skate with a combination of different sized wheels.

But today its become an industry benchmark for “best of both worlds” performance.

We know performance needs can change on a dime and that’s why we first introduced Hi-Lo Technology. With smaller wheels up front, you can preserve optimal maneuverability for handling variable city streets and crowded trails. The addition of bigger wheels in the back enables you to generate more speed and maximize roll while still maintaining a traditional deck height. The end result is a skate that maneuvers like an urban skate while generating the speeds found on our X-Training models.

With three distinct configurations: Youth, Fitness, and Performance, we’ve got a Hi-Lo setup for everyone.

Experience Hi-Lo Technology in these select models. Featuring the Men's VO2 100 X Boa® , VO2 100 X Pro, Women's Alexis X Pro, Men's F.I.T. X Pro, and the kid's SK8 Hero X Pro and Charm X Pro.

The Fatty Pro has been a K2 Flagship for over a decade. From the X-Games Podium to streets and parks around the world, the Fatty Pro has seen it all. It continues to dominate thanks to a supportive Aggressive Cuff, super-light upper, and Soulplate that locks on to anything.

One of the lightest aggressive skates ever built, the Varsity has proven itself as a durable warrior with the ability to lock on and slide like butter on rails and ledges.

It’s wide Soulplate handles all boot–based tricks and its Aggressive Cuff and shockabsorbing heel allow for stomping the biggest of gaps.

The Il Capo is the ultimate hybrid skate that does a little bit of everything. It features a street-styled upper and utilizes K2’s ultra supportive Aggressive Cuff. This provides more stability than any other skate in the K2 line. When combined with a short, Urban frame and 80mm wheels, you get a skate that loves commuting, city skating, slalom, park shredding, heck, we’ve even seen these at skate marathons from time to time.

BUYERS GUIDE

APPENDIX #K2SKATE

APPENDIX Everything you need to know about K2 skates is right here. From a consumer friendly How to buy to overviews on all the technology that sets us apart, this appendix is your reference tool to Get Inline.

A GUIDE TO CHOOSING THE right SKATE DESIGNED FOR YOUR PERFORMANCE NEEDS Inline skating is an amazingly fun way to engage in an active lifestyle. Skating is one of few true full body workouts that is considered low impact while burning a significant amount of calories. What sets inline apart from other activities is how accessible skating can be. Whether you are looking for a “green” way to commute or a low impact way to exercise, inline skating is the perfect activity.

ASK YOURSELF WHEN BUYING ABILITY

START HERE

If you are thinking about getting into the sport or even upgrading your current skates, there are a few questions you need to answer before you start the shopping process. The answers to these questions will help you determine what style of skate you are looking for. Once this is determined, it is time to try on skates that come outfitted with a wheel size and bearing made for your specific skating level and stlye. Once you have found the correct fit, it’s time to pad up and head out and log some miles.

What is your current ability?

Be honest you want to get this right from the start. Upgrade when

Fit:

Comfort and performance are what defines a good skate fit.

The ideal fit of an inline skate has your toes lightly touching the front of the boot while the rest of the boot feels like a semi-firm handshake around the foot. This snug fit will get a little looser as you break in the skate over time and it is what one should be looking for in their performance skates or footwear. It is important to note that going too big or too small on your inline skate fit can create fit problems in the long run. Remember, the skate is only going to get bigger as you use it. A sloppy fit delivers poor performance and a skate that fits too tightly can cut off circulation in your feet.

50 |

APPENDIX

Wheels:

While inline wheels have grown over the years, the thought process that “bigger is better” doesn’t always apply to inline skate wheels. Wheel size should be based on skater ability and skater type. New skaters who are getting comfortable on their inline skates will appreciate smaller (78mm) wheel configurations or HiLo (84mm/80mm) set ups that offer two larger wheels in back and two smaller wheels in front. More experienced skaters that use skating for a workout tool will utilize a bigger wheel (84mm) that allows for higher end speeds. Advanced skaters, who use skating as a primary workout or may even race, gravitate towards larger wheels (90mm, 100mm or 110mm/100mm Hi-Lo)

Bearings:

A bearing is only as good as the condition they are in. If you have the fastest bearings money can buy and you skate through sand, they won’t be very effective until they are serviced. There are two types of bearings found on inline skates; ABEC rated bearings have set the standard since day 1 and ILQ bearings are designed specifically for inline skates.

ABEC bearings are rated at ABEC 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9. A general rule of thumb for ABEC bearings is the higher the number, the tighter the tolerances, which leads to higher speeds and a smoother roll. ILQ bearings come in many configurations and are geared towards the highend skater. ILQ bearings differ from ABEC in that ILQ bearings feature 6 balls instead of 5, which increases load rating.

Protective Gear:

Do you wear a seatbelt when you drive? Do you use eye protection when you use power tools? Do you wear pads and a helmet when skating? Hopefully you answered yes, the common sense answer, to all three.

Smart skaters wear protection, (helmets and wrist guards at a minimum) to ensure that high abrasion areas are covered.

The design of today’s pad sets create protective gear that is light, ventilated and breathable keeping you comfortable in a pad set that fits like a second skin.

Remember, the right fit is key to any pad set and helmet. Make sure yours fits snug and doesn’t shift while you wear them.

CLOSURE SYSTEMS OVERVIEW

VORTECH VENTILATION SYSTEM OVERVIEW

THE VORTECH VENTILATION SYSTEM IS DESIGN YOU CAN FEEL Integrated into the skate, this 3-part system is designed to keep feet cool and dry by channeling air through the base, footbed and UPPER. Vortech is more than just a super-light,

supersonic and super comfortable inline skate design. It’s a ventilation system that will blow your socks off, literally.

PART

TWO: The Vortech Base

• A sculpted base features 7 air intake vents, exhaust vents, and vapor channels.

• Designed to force air through intake vents, channeling air towards the heel of the skate and out the exhaust vents.

• Minimizes heat and moisture during skating, for cool, fresh feet.

PART

THREE: The Vortech Footbed • A perforated, antimicrobial footbed.

PART

ONE: The Vortech Upper

• Provide support and breathability.

• Upper meshes allow heat and moisture to easily move away from the foot.

• Perforated lasting baord works in harmony with the Vortech footbed to channel out moisture.

SPEED LACING SYSTEM

THREE REASONS TO UPGRADE TO Boa® CLOSURE SYSTEM

Secure your skates with one pull.

K2’s Speed Lacing system makes it easy to get in and out of your skates. One pull of the strap and you’re ready to skate, it's that easy.

STEP ONE:

BOOT UP

ARGUABLY THE BOA® CLOSURE SYSTEM IS THE GREATEST EVOLUTIONARY ACHIEVEMENT SINCE Softboot® Technology for superior fit and performance. Isn't it time

you experience the Boa® Closure System?

• Designed to pull the moisture from your feet down into the vapor channels of the Vortech base.

• Eliminates any excess moisture from pooling in the bottom of the skates.

REASON ONE: Optimal Fit and Performance:

By designing K2 Skate's upper and cuff around the Boa® Closure System, K2 has created the most comfortable and high performance fit available on an inline skate.

STEP TWO:

REASON THREE: "SHIFT-ON-THE-FLY"

PULL

The Boa® Closure System gives skaters the ability to fine-tune their fit while on the trail. This eliminates pulling over to the side of the trail to tighten your skate laces, allowing you to keep going.

STEP THREE:

REASON TWO: “Easy-on, Easy-off”

ROLL & STOW

The Boa® Closure System allows for skaters of any age to get in and out of their skates in seconds. No more fighting with laces, it’s all about twisting the Boa® dial.

HI-LO TECHNOLOGY OVERVIEW

HI-LO TECHNOLOGY OVERVIEW

HI-LO TECHNOLOGY OVERVIEW K2 spends 365 days of the year testing skate design to find what is best for new and experienced skaters. We have perfected the Hi-Lo wheel setups and configured them to provide maximum benefits for Training and X-Training skaters (Performance Hi-Lo), Fitness skaters (Fitness Hi-Lo) and Kids (Youth Hi-Lo). These wheel configurations allow K2 to improve the entire skating experience and create a unique set of benefits to the skater.

By creating three Hi-Lo configurations, each providing unique user benefits, we are able to deliver different combinations of maneuverability and speed/ stability. All configurations allow the user to optimize the ability to use a bigger wheel without increasing stance height. The end result is three Hi-Lo configurations that create a low center of gravity and deliver an unmatched skating experience.

INCREASED CONFIDENCE

Featured on K2’s Training and X-Training lines, Performance Hi-Lo Technology allows the skater to take advantage of the acceleration and maneuverability of the smaller front wheels while enjoying the top end speed of the larger rear wheels.

Performance Hi-Lo skates are defined by a 10mm difference between the front and rear wheels.

Featured in the K2 Fitness collection, Fitness Hi-Lo Technology provides an easy to maneuver, agile skate. This is due to the smaller wheels in front while the larger rear wheels allow for a smooth, comfortable roll and higher coasting speeds. Skates with Fitness Hi-Lo Technology feature a 4mm difference in wheel sizes.

Featured in K2’s Youth series, Youth Hi-Lo is designed to increase confidence and minimize risk by creating a low center of gravity; providing excellent stability and maneuverability. Skates outfitted with Youth Hi-Lo Technology have a 4mm difference in wheel sizes.

K2 and Boa® worked together to create this seamless integration of aYouth skate with a Boa® Closure System.

This cuff offers the maximum amount of support that kids need and provides the “easy-on, easy-off” properties that make a Boa® Closure System a musthave on youth product.

This cuff sets the standard for recreational and fitness skating cuffs. Stability Plus is the perfect blend of support where you need it, eliminating overall skate weight and offering versatility for a wide range of skaters.

Designing cuffs for big-wheeled X-Training skates can be a challenge. You need to account for the higher wheel height, which means more support with no extra weight added. The VO2 cuff creates the best of both worlds: max support and lightweight design.

The Frame Base Interlocking (F.B.I.) system creates a composite recreational frame that absorbs more road vibration than any other K2 frame. The F.B.I. is great for new skaters and those skating on rough terrain.

The recreational nylon frame that is integrated with the base of the skate.

This frame is designed to absorb road vibration and lower the skater’s center of gravity for a smooth, controlled ride.

Die Cast Aluminum frames are known for providing excellent power transfer and stability at any speed. K2’s DC Aluminum design delivers both properties in a medium-length, highlymaneuverable, fitness-oriented frame.

Available in three different wheel configurations that each create different sets of user benefits, K2’s Hi-Lo frames take advantage of smaller wheels in the front and larger wheels in the back. This provides a stable, maneuverable frame that creates a skating position with a low center of gravity.

HIGH SPEED PERFORMANCE

Aggressive skaters need more support than any other skater type known to man. The development process for K2’s Aggressive cuffs involves huge gaps, cess slides and plenty of topside and boot tricks. This durable cuff is as good as it gets when you are out to destroy.

Cuffs on high-end training skates are different than the rest - designed to be low-profile, lightweight and to let your skating technique take over. The Radical cuff does it all while offering the perfect amount of support to boot.

Using carbon fiber in design is all about keeping the Radical Pro the lightest marathon skate in its class without any sacrifices. With an incredible stiffness to weight ratio, it delivers long-distance performance.

Skating all types of terrain is an everyday thing for city dwellers and this stiff, 247mm aluminum frame is designed for just that. It performs well all around and excels when you need to maneuver through tight spots, traffic, parks or cones.

Aggressive frames are designed to grind and take a beating, which is why K2 uses the fastest-sliding, extra thick composite materials. K2’s Aggressive frame features our innovative hex frame spacers; making it easy to customize your wheel configuration from rockered to flat in no time while being fully UFS compatible.

The V02.2 frame is a light, versatile Aluminum X-Training frame. This maneuverable frame has enough length and stiffness to provide stability at the highest speeds and offers a power transfer formerly only found in training skates.

Built to deliver stability at the highest speeds possible on inline skates, the Radical frame is an aluminum alloy Longmount frame heat-treated for increased stiffness. The Radical frame can be adjusted laterally for a custom feel and is available in 4x100 and 100mm/110mm Hi-Lo designs.
