Can't believe you left out one of the most important aspects of the Pro. It IS the only plate in that series that has the adjustable pivot pins. When you change cushions, many times you need to adjust the pivot pin height, or you'll wear out the cup and/or possibly break the pin or king pin
Hi, Could you please help 🙏 I am trying to find are there any wide trucks suitable for the reactor pro plate? Big struggle to understand the mechanics, would appreciate any advice 💯 🙏 thank you 😊
The Fuse would be fine for a beginner or casual carver but as you advance to intermediate tricks like stalls and grinds, you'll appreciate the strength and rigidity of an alloy plate.
I’ve been skating on these plates (reactor neo) for about 6 months now and dislike them, mainly because the kingpin angle doesn’t allow much turning radius. My Other set of skates is the stock riedell thrust plate and it turns way better than the reactors. I’ve switched out the cushions on my reactors twice from the stock ones, currently using 78A and still can’t get enough lean on the trucks to make turns without wheel hop. Rode them at the skatepark last week and the rear truck popped out. I’d recommend sure grip avengers or avantis over these.
Make sure to mention that it’s impossible to get Purple (firm cushions) from anyone anywhere. Which diminishes the usefulness of the Reactor to the point of staying in the closet. I bought sire grip Reds to try and no bueno Amigo. They are truly “the suck”. Why stop making the firm cushion? Makes no sense and I credibly irritating.!!

Appreciate the straightforward comparison.
The Fuse reminds me of the old Hard Candy plates

Thank you! we need videos like this!
Really? This video didn't tell any practical information about them.
Waiting on my 395/reactor pro combo to come in!
I didn't learn too much here; what are the practical differences?
Price
I need a plate for a plus size lady which one would you reccomend for outdoor skating???
The Neo plate
@duragstevietv thank you

Very good question I’ve been looking toooo with no luck
When ordering plates do they come with toe stops?
Hadley Scott McIntyre no you haft to buy them separately
Which you recommend for a mixi beach bunny size 6?
Heaviest is the rink rental plate
Did the rival plate get discontinued? I've had mine since 2015.
It did and was replaced by the Neo! It doesn't feel quite the same since the kingpin angle is different though.
Would you recommend the reactor fuse for rampskating ? 🤔

Are the reactor neo good for jam skating?
Kingpin is 10 degrees. Lower the number the less it responds to turns.
The kingpins are not strong and durable and are prone to breaking. There is a replacement out, but there is no click nut and washer available for it.
Is the fuse any good for dance skating?
From what I heard from other people, a higher kingpin angle helps a plate feel better for dancing these are all 10°.
Damn so expensive!!
