Thank you so much for this. I have just bought a second-hand pair online from a total stranger. My very first ever pair of skates (I just started skating 3 weeks ago): quite risky when you know nothing about skates, but I did a bit of research on good brands. Your review has just boosted by confidence that I made the right choice. Let's just hope they fit.
I'm looking forward to hugging mine.
They arrived and I LOVE them.
I have a pair of FR1 size 41/42 and I got pains too.
So I bought the Intuition skate liners (size M) and this changed my life. They might surprise you the very first time because they're thin and tough at the same time but, after a few sessions when the liners will have broken in, you will realize how they are comfy, cushioning, responsive, reactive and effective. Plus, the high quality of the shock absorber makes every jump a formality for your knees.
So, not only pains vanished but also, my skating leveled up thanks to these liners.
One thing: I use a pair of Intuition Insole shims between the liner and the shell in order to fill the extra space.
The Intuition liners are a game changer and I warmly recommend them.
Man I wish this video was available when I was lookin at buying my skates, I bought mine about 5 years ago now, brilliant skates and hold up well mine still look like new and I do about 30 miles a week. Happy skating I'm sure ull enjoy using these skates
Great review, I just splashed out on a pair largely on your review, can't wait. As an (enthusiastic) novice with wide, bony hobbit feet it's hard to find a good fit and there are literally no brick and mortar stores within 2500km of here that keep skates in stock to even try them, so appreciate the sizing tips. I'm expecting great things going from my clumsy Oxelos MF500s (I know, I know, but they're actually ok) to these puppies
I recently (within the past week) had a problem with my F7 Liners and I was able to get F110H Liners to replace them from the people at Turbulence Inlines. The liners look nearly identical; the shape seems to be slightly different, but they fit and feel good so far.
As an owner of 2 pairs of Trix, swap the laces with 6mm waxed derby laces. Best $10 upgrade you can do. Easier on/off and even tightening.
Don't suppose you know what length to get?
One of the coolest tidbits of information in this video is learning that Brock breaks just about everything 😂🖤 that totally checks out.
Nice that you love these skates so much. I had the Seba KSJ (silver 2017 model) and even though these were the most supportive of the triangle cuff skates, I found them very lacking in latteral support. They were very comfy and I loved the forward flex, but to get even a bit of latteral support I had to pull the laces so tight (with a hook) that it cut off my blood and created pressure points. So even with the laces so tight, they didn't came near the latteral support that an FR1 skate offers.
Freestyle Skater odd, these aren’t quite as supportive as my FR but pretty close
You're spot on about the rockerable frame letting the skates down. On mine you need to make a choice - have them loose enough that the wheels making clicking sounds on rough surfaces, or have them tight enough that the frame pinches the wheels and slows them down. Not an issue for the 2nd and 3rd wheels. Also, the axles sit REALLY tightly into the bearing - I often need a mallet to get the front and back wheels out and have to lube the axles. They're my one gripe with these otherwise wonderful skates.
Yeah, they kinda cheaped out on the frame but also the wheels aren't the best quality either :/
Wish they'd cost a bit more then have at least nicer quality wheels if not frame.
I have the WFSC, which is the carbon version and it's probably the nicest skate I've ever owned. I moved the 45 ratchet to the lower position because I have a narrow foot, which made a big difference. The only real fit problem I have is with the lacing, which I've found very hard to get tight enough, but I'm hoping they will break in a bit, or I may change the stock laces. The 243mm frame is great. but admittedly too short for my size 47 foot, longer rockered frame options at the moment are limited but I'm looking forward to the Endless frames. I'm going to try mounting my R100 with an adapter too.
Worth mentioning that the frame on the WFSC is the pre rockered SEBA deluxe frame, not the one with the rocker spacers.
Q swears waxed laces are godly on these-I believe him, just haven’t personally had problems with the stock ones
@@CityBlades yeah I normally swear by Howie's waxed laces but I haven't changed these yet. SEBA seem to be the only brand to give you decent laces stock, they just take a lot of effort to get right.
Great video! which one do you prefer between Trix 2 and Flying Eagle Drift 2?
Trix, easily
I do have the 2015 version of these and they still hold up, the leatherlike material on the toe and side areas are a bit scuffed, but i put some black hockey griptape over it and it's barely noticable.
the k2 "soul slide" skate was the shoe were the seba guys sayed "legandary".
Based on your review, I think I'd like these. I have one question. Is the toe box an issue in inline skates the way it is in figure skates? Most figure skates squish my toes to oblivion and I have to intentionally get a wide toe box... think duck feet. Are these more amenable to a variety of toes?
I'd say it has a fairly normal toe box... Maybe still too narrow if you got super wide feet but it's wider than figure skates...
I know this is an oldie but I found this video now as I just bought a pair of SEBA Trix2 (from Shop Task as well). I am wondering what you mean by choosing the non-carbon fiber version? Are there more than one version of these and if so what is it if not carbon fiber? Please remember I'm new so this may be a dumb question :) As far as I can see yours have the same boot as mine but different frames and wheels. I kept the frame they came with but upgraded the wheels. But I assume the carbon fiber comment was about the boot?
Don’t know if there is currently but there was a version where the boot was made of carbon fiber. These are plastic I think
Trix2 is fiberglass reinforced plastic and Trix is carbon (is about double the price and has a ratchet at the cuff)... Not sure but I think the liner is also different, most likely a bit thinner and harder foams on carbon Trix for high level slalom skaters who want max response. I am pretty sure though the Trix2 is the more comfy but really can't complain about response and feedback from this boot 😊
Have you tried the Reign V3 liners? I use them in my Aeons, and I love them. They're like 80% of quality of an Intuition liner at less than half the price.
And yeah, I go the FR1 Deluxe about the same time you bought those Trix boots, and I'm totally happy with them. But now I'm curious about the Trix boot. I love the FR V3 frame that comes with the FR1D, it's pre-rockered, super stiff...
brocmt have not, usually I don’t trust aggressive skate liners-they sound a lot like the FE’s though
@@CityBlades Yeah, Lino says they're like his favorite liner for free skating next to Intuition liners, if you want to check out his review of them. They're really nice, super supportive. My ankles are wrecked, so something that gives me that dorsi-flection support is something I need. And the V-cut calf line should give you a good toe point in your FR1s.
Watched the video after ordering my Trix 2. I am a 27.5, and I got size 43 after some guys on Reddit also told me this.
The representative from LocoSkates told me I should get a 44 (out of stock) and also the "Sizing Tip" tab says "People order their normal shoe size"! I will update once I get it :)
So I've used them a few times now, they are as you said, VERY comfortable. They are more comfortable than my HL v2's. And lighter. So yes it's as a Hockey Skate (weight wise). HL v2's are bulkier.
I also found out I have an extra navicular bone which was causing me friction in that area, had to use a heat gun for my HL v2's to fix it, but not needed for the Trix 2 :)
@@ZadakLeader Hey there, you still using the Trix 2 in 43. I have 275mm feet and am debating between the 43 and 42.
@@mossfoot 43 yes
Hey there. Thanks for your great videos. I am highly considering getting these skates. Seba Trix 2 80s. I have not skated on years. But I do not want to start out with a low quality skate. This is in my budget. Would this be a good skate to get back into the sport or should I have a more support on a FR 1 or even FR 2?
You’d be fine either way
💜
Hello and thank you for the video. I LOVE your style! Is there any new model for this skate? I heard about Seba Trix Blac our Seba Trix Pro but never saw any video. Would you consider this model the face concurrent with Powerslide Evo 2021? Greetings from Paris! :)
Not sure the new model-generally they’ll have a carbon and non-carbon version out. Carbon version will be more like the Evo
@@CityBlades Thank you for your time 🙌🏼
Hey man, great video thank you for doing it! Sorry if this has been covered, but with the Trix 2, I heard that the front and back wheels can be lifted up to get a rocker set up with all four 80mm, right out of the box with the tools provided. Is this true? Not familiar with rockering etc, but hoping to try out slalom and was wondering if you know any more about this? If it is a case that the wheels need replaced at front and back for smaller ones what are the tools, allen key only etc? Thanks again!
yes they can, as long as it's the year of them that comes with the X2R frames--you should be able to tell cause the front and back axles have real big heads on them
@@CityBlades That's great to know thank you! I did see two Trix 2's with different frames and I wasen't too sure if they both could do it or not but I'll defs look out for the X2R ones! Thanks again!
This review sold me. Where do I get a pair of Trix? I wear a 38... thanks!
lots of shops are sold out so google is your friend
Hey dude nice review i like it a lot...would you say these are ok for heavier person? I'm 6ft1 and 220lbs, not looking to do anything crazy on them just urban skating no jumping or any hardcore punishment. Thank you
Maz Bros depends how you like your skates to feel. The support for me at ~130 pounds is about right, and given I go hard on edges so that’s another factor wherein boot stiffness comes into play... but for just rolling around they’d be fine I’m sure. High Light v2 would be another option if you’d like to double down on support
@@CityBlades been used to hockey skate feel but would quite enjoy having a comfy boot. These look just fantastic and lot of people says that they are the most comfortable skates they had. Just slightly worried that there will be sacrifice of some sort for the sake of comfort.
Maz Bros oh if you’re used to hockey skates these will be fantastic. Don’t worry, the comfort comes at no expense; these are very responsive skates
@@CityBlades thank you so much for clarification bro...it's best to hear first hand experience. I shall get them on order then. Top man...thank you sir
@@CityBlades just forgot to mention that the model I'm getting is the one with white wheels... Is that older/newer version of these?
Hi, which one do you prefer between Trix 2, Higliht 2 and Flying Eagle Drift 2? And which one of these is widest in the front part of the foot (in its widest part)?
Toss up between Trix and HL. Width is about the same on all I think
@@CityBlades but maybe flying eagle is one step in front, because it is heatmoldable an can be widened bit if needed? Why do you prefer the sebas over FE?
Hey man, how's the wear and tear been after a year? I'm looking into new skates for slalom and these seem kinda perfect, but I'm definitely worried about durability. I hope to keep em as long as possible
Get the Spin/Drift 2. Better frame and wheels. I think it's worth the difference imo :)
Nice review. I'm considering these as can use my seba deluxe frame from my fr's. Ive got average width 265mm feet, do you think I could fit in a 40eu? Thanks
I don't know width measurements so well, may call the shop about that
To anyone out there: Urban/Freestyle: Seba or FR? Appreciate your advice.
Same company different factory--you can expect the same top notch quality from either
You should @ Michelle Kwan
hi dude seba highlight vs trix 2 which one?
Both
My foot size is 26.8 and 11.2 wide (have wide feets), will you recommend me size 41 or size 42 due to my wide feets?
I'm wondering the same. My feet are 257-258/102-100. I tried a pair of used (but not very much) Higlights 40 and length was good - toes didn't touch the front at at all. But I'm not so sure about the width. I tryed them for about 10 minutes, and my impression was that they are little tight in the widest part of the foot - i felt that the bottom of the skate was rising near the sides and this did not feel perfectly comfortable. But I don't know if I ride them longer, maybe I will get used to it, or they will break in more. And trix 2 and highlights are in the same sizing table, so maybe they use the same last to make them.
Is this a good boot for the endless 100 frame? Does it have enough support?
Good question! Depends how much support you like... there would be a high amount of “ankle freedom” in that setup-nothing dangerous, but you’d build some ankle muscles skating it, lol.
A more supportive option would be the carbon version, and of course if you put the igor cuff on the carbon version it’ll be all the support you’d ever need & then some
@@CityBlades can you put the carbon cuff on the normal trix 2 ?
@@Bratox187 no, there’s no bolt under the Y cuff
@@CityBlades thx man!
where did you buy them for $250?
Dave W it was around Christmas so there were some sales. Plus I got them boot only
Can you replace the cuff to a standard one
Do you think they good for beginners?
maybe overkill but i don't think you'd be negatively affected by starting on them
That rocker is absolutely NOT insane! Inline skaters just don't use figure skates enough!
Great looking skates. I've always liked the way the Trix skates look. I've always felt the same about carbon fiber skates. I'm usually not a fan unless they're hockey skates, but the HC Evo is my exception.
And yes.. I'm seeing tons of figure skaters in inlines the last few weeks. Especially the ones with the ruber toe picks.
Also, next time you break in a pair of figure skates, replace your socks with walmart bags. I know it sounds insane, but trust me. I skated the first 12 hours in two sessions with very little pair when I got my Jacksons..
Deez Skates you mean like plastic bags?
Haha. Yup.
Deez Skates 👀
Lol. I know. It sounds crazy. A friend who is training for nationals told me to do it and I thought he was pulling my leg.. but I tried it anyway and it blew my mind. Best I can figure (oh look a pun 😂) is that it’s thinner than socks, and allows the foot the ability to work itself around in the boot easier, which means no friction and faster break in.
Can you explain the rocker? I didn't catch why it's weird.
I've bought the book you mentioned. Also “The art of falling”. I'm also interested in understanding figure skating better and inline figure skating better but will probably do that after letting these two books sink in.
