K2 Moto 90 Men's Cross Training Skate

by K2

Product Features

• Aluminum frame
• 90mm wheels
• ILQ-9 bearings
• 1 year warranty

Product Description

The K2 Moto 90 replaces the VO2 Max from '06. Drawing its design from K2's most popular and time tested series of fitness skates, the Moto 90 balances stability, speed, and comfort perfectly. This skate is perfect for an intermediate skater looking to take it to the next level or an advanced skater who still prefers full ankle support. The boot is super comfy and supportive and the wheel/frame setup puts the big 90mm wheels very close together creating speed and maneuverability without a high/low setup which makes wheel rotation less challenging.

5.0 out of 5 stars Skate in fashion!, January 15, 2007

My first pair of inline skates, purchased on Dec. 9, 2006. Did a lot of research before I made my decision on these and am extremely happy with my purchase! The wheels are HUGE on the Moto Extreme (90mms front and 100mms rear) with super slick ILQ 9 classic bearings. These skates are excellent for a beginner like myself and I am sure the speed junkies (which I will be soon when I master the skating) will appreciate the big wheels.

Another benefit of having these big wheels is to overcome the bumpiness on the road very easily due to the big wheels, however, keep in mind the maneuverability will be sacraficed. Overall a top notch skates with good support, true to the size boots with Cool Max lining, and excellent quality. It is fast, comfortable, and fashion all combined. Like what the pros says, don't go cheap on your skates if you really want to enjoy the excitement of this sport. Thanks to Amazon for the awesome price and super fast shipping. When the time comes for a new pair, I will definitely buy from Amazon again!

5.0 out of 5 stars Hi Speed fun with gravity defying feather light weight!, December 11, 2007

These skates are very, very, fast. Moto 90's are the lightest skates that I have ever worn. I've done 18 mile skates in the city over curbs in traffic. Moto 90's do it all. Down hill the 90mm wheels keep a line that will surprise you if you haven't yet skated on the larger wheeled skates that are coming out today. So light... the boot almost feels like a running shoe both in comfort and feather like weight. Buy 'em. You'll love these skates for cruising on trails or jumping curbs and dodging traffic in the city.

5-Stars (updated from 3-stars)

I have not found a better skate for under 200 buckss. The sweet spot for committed fitness skaters. The padding and everything have held up well up for 300+ hours of skating.

I used the very similar 84mm K2 "Moto" for 500+ hours and they were still holding up fine before I upgraded to the smoother riding, 90mm wheel model.

Wheels: The 90mm wheels are smoother, longer lasting, and safer than the 84/80mm I had before. If you shop around, you can find nice replacement wheels + bearings (set of 8) for about 60 buckss. I avoid the k2 models with mixed wheel sizes. They have little plastic offsets that like to fall out when you clean & rotate your wheels.

Speedlace: Too bad the MOTO 90 and higher models do not use the speedlace system that's offered on the MOTO, the EXO 6.1, etc. However, I added Hi Tex type cordlocks, looped the laces together, and trimmed the ends. Super fast lace-up and adjustment...Works great!

Outdated info: (I think this was a temporary quality problem.) I tried on a pair at Sport Chalet in June 2007. Very nicely designed and comfortable skates. I wanted to buy them, but the tongue strap ripped off as I was adjusting them in the store. The next day I read James Miller's review of the similar K2 Moto (84/80mm). Same problem. However, I later bought the 2009 model and have had no such problem.
