CUFFS
Stability and support
Jr. Boa: K2 and Boa® worked together to create this seamless integration of a kid’s 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 must-have on youth product. JR. BOA
3 STABILITY PLUS
Stability Plus: This cuff sets the standard for what recreational skaters and fitness skaters need in terms of cuffs. The Stability Plus is the perfect blend of support and comfort, eliminating overall skate weight and creating the perfect cuff for a wide range of skaters.
VO2: 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, and you can’t have any extra weight. The VO2 cuff creates the best of worlds: max support and lightweight design.

Aggressive: Aggressive skaters need more support then any 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.
Radical: Cuffs on high-end training skates are different then the rest – designed to be low-profile and lightweight, letting your skating technique take over. The Radical cuff does it all while offering the perfect amount of support to boot.
Radical Pro Carbon: 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.
FRAMES F.B.I (Frame Base Integration): Interlocking the frame and base creates a composite recreational frame that absorbs more road vibration then any other K2 frame. The F.B.I. is great for new skaters and those skating on rough terrain. TEC COMPOSITE: This is a 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. D.C. Aluminum: Die Cast Aluminum frames are known for providing excellent power transfer and stability at speed. K2’s D.C. Alu design delivers both of those properties in a medium-length, highly-maneuverable, fitness-oriented frame. Available in both 80mm and 84mm configurations. ECO BAMBOO: This revolutionary, 7-layer Bamboo frame is designed as the sustainable alternative to K2’s D.C. Aluminum frame. The “greenest” frame ever produced for inline skates also absorbs road vibration and transfers energy as well as its Aluminum cousin. URBAN: Skating all types of different terrain is an everyday thing for city dwellers, and this stiff, 247mm Aluminum frame is designed for just that. It does everything well and excels when you need to maneuver through tight spots. Aggressive: 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 hex frame spacers that make it easy to customize your wheel configuration from rockered to flat in no time and is fully UFS compatible. VO2.2: The VO2.2 frame is the lightest Aluminum X-Training frame K2 has ever designed. This maneuverable frame has enough length and stiffness to provide stability at the highest of speeds and offers a power transfer formerly only found in training skates. RADICAL: 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 it is available in 4x100 and 100mm/110mm Hi-Lo designs.
BEARINGS ILQ BEARINGS: In 2002, TwinCam introduced a six-ball design engineered specifically for inline skate use. 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.
