Great video!! Just ordered these. I got current task to update my rollerblade macroblade 3x110 wheels and everyhting else, and the pricetag for all that was over 200€, so I spotted these Maxxum 125 from discount (300€), so it was easy decicion to order new skates. My first inlineskates was K2, and i didn't like those. Then updated K2 to rollerblade 4x90mm, next 3x110 and now waiting new Maxxum 3x125. I'm ice hockey player (not professional) and love to Do long distance trainings with inline skates after the ice hockey season has ended. Usually something between 20-50miles. Can't wait to have these new skates!
I love the maxxum edges, the boot is super comfortable, I can be in them all day. The edge 90s are amazing in particular and think that wheel size is the best of both worlds when it comes to speed and maneuverability 🔥 Wish they had more color ways though...
That was my first skate! After a few weeks having switched to smaller wheels and having settled mostly on 84s on an Endless frame, I am almost to the point where I might be ready for my Maxxums now, haha. I hear ya though - I really wanted orange, but they didn't have them in my size (they were marketed only to the men). They are pretty dumb and so "old fashioned" to think that women need pink and only the men get orange. They coulda easily made these in some super cool colors like purple, green, blue, etc.
@@cerenademe9433 I've actually been looking into get some endless frames as my wheels are definitely getting smaller and experience going up, can't wait to see if it fits my urban skate lifestyle. I also agree with you about the colors, even though I think they're marketed as "unisex" (I like pink, orange, feel there just other shades of red), so that color would of been fine with me if done right. Liner also replaceable⚠️
@@mistadoobie5664 I think you'll love the Endless frames! it's a shame they are pretty much priced out of the "beginner" market as I feel almost anyone could benefit from the 'balanced' rocker they have. ...I don't know where you're located, but the online skate shops in the US and Canada that I have visited have the pink RBs under "Women's Skates" and the Orange under "Men's," with women's and men's adjusted sizing, respectively, even though there is no difference whatsoever between the "men's" and "women's" skate, other than the colors. And then, they don't carry the full range of sizes that RB makes, going down to a size 36, in the "Men's" version. ...I really wanted the orange ones but no one had them in a size 36. I had to get the "Women's" version in hot pink. Whatever - it's still cool looking, I just wish, like you, there were more colors. We should probably write to them ;)
Kinda a beginner here - like, I used to skate a lot on quads back in the '80s, but it's not like riding a bike. I got a pair of these in March having seen a review where the guy did some urban skating, bombing down hills, going up & down kerbs, bashing through potholes and powersliding on asphalt, so I came to them with the idea that these would be a great all round skate. Having had them a couple of months, I can see they have potential for that in skilled hands, but the design does lend itself more to what you say, long distance cruising on bike racks and lanes. I like the length: they give me a great deal of confidence in front to back stability, and the boots' ankle support make them feel great for sideways stability too. I can't wait to get back on them once the weather improves. Just to add, I take a size 11 UK shoe size, so mail order during COVID severely limited my options for boots. I think I may end up getting some Bauer NSX quads next, but only after I've gotten as good as I can on my Maxxum Edges.
I just got these to upgrade from RB Zetrablade 80mm. I’m a beginner/intermediate and have learnt a lot watching your videos. Problems with the 80mm beginner inline skates I needed to address: 1) 80mm wheels are a trip hazard when slow. Trip on twigs when too slow 2) Plastic frame wobbly at higher speeds. Unstable. 3) Sg5 bearings are too slow and tiring after I began hitting 10-18miles per day. Poor glide ability 4) Soft boot has low power transfer. Energy wasted just trying to be stable 5) Shorter frame increases the likelihood of falling on your behind vs properly falling forward Upgrading to the 125mm Rollerblade Maxxum Edge resolved all the above issues I experienced. I did not feel like upgrading from 80mm directly to 125mm after 6 months of learning inline skating was too much. They don’t feel that high. I feel more confident on my skates. I look forward to your review!
@@ThirtyandRollin You’re right. My goal for learning Inline Skating was to do long distance (31 miles plus in one day) on flat, paved, bike trails with no steep slopes. Even as I practiced on my 80mm, I had started researching what my next set of wheels would be. The 125mm Maxxum Edge fit the bill. I totally agree with you. My buddy went with 110mm 3-wheels.
I bought these skates as a total beginner and boy I had troubles early on. But this was all worth it, I now have over 1500 kms on these bad boys. I'm changing the wheels this year, was still on the origin set but could not go another year on those. So they last for a long time. I'm changing the bucklings on both skates as well as they aren't snappy and I'm afraid they are going to fail soon. Good thing is that bucklings are pretty cheap. I had to heat mold the boots because my feet were hurting on the side. They are... FAST. Be careful and be sure to skate in a safe area, long lines without much curves and hills.
Great review! Since you did not have a scale, I weighed them and at 4.4 lbs/ 2kg each they are really heavy. The brake is 173g or 0.38lbs. It only has a 165 frame mount.
Thanks for the review! I have Twister Edges I bought a little over a month ago and they’re just too tight. I ordered these because Rollerblades site said they’re a little bit of a wider fit. I’m hoping they work out, they should be here tomorrow!
I 100% agree with you, buckles can make or break the skates. I just got the new HC Evo model and while everything else is good, the cheap buckles and the thin straps are really letting me down. Especially since I have gotten so used to the sturdy buckles of my Twister Edge. I want to swap out the buckles for good ones with as much "MacGyver-ing" as needed. Both the Maxxum and the Roces buckles look like great options for it! I am someone who likes to strap down my skates to be very snug and I mostly do City Skate and Slalom. I like the idea of the memory buckle so I don't have to fine-tune the buckles each time and can also get in and out of the skates faster. But the look/sturdiness of the Maxxum buckles looks great too. Those clicks just sound amazing! And I can't imagine how much better they are since I thought the Twister buckles were already built like a tank. I would love to hear your thoughts on both these buckles and which one you think might be best. P.S. I bought the Twister Edges partly because of your video. Was very informative as always and helped me make that decision!
I LOVE these boots that Rollerblade makes!! It's just ashame that my feet are too wide to fit comfy. I tried a size up but it didn't feel right either (too long).
@@ThirtyandRollin I actually got the RB Pro Xs! They very comfy but slightly roomy. Still trying to get them dialed in. Can skate for hours without any foot pain now thankfully! It's also helped with my knees as well! I suppose snug/tight fitting boots transfer more energy to your legs which likely aggravated my tendonitis. I'm just happy to be skating without any pain now!
I've got wide feet too and one thing I've done is to use a heat gun on certain pressure point areas. I did it to some Razors Cults on the inside of both boots as I have fallen arches so that's where it's tight. It worked a treat and I would definitely try it again in future.
Thanks for this thorough review. These skates would have been just what I need, but now I'm sure they would not fit well on my wide feet and thin shins. Exactly the same problem I'm currently having with my 125 PS Swells. Now my plan is to find RB cruiser/80/110 boots (almost impossible at the moment) and upgrade them with longer 125 frames. FR boots could be an option too, but I'm not sure if they are wide enough. I have read some mixed opinions about their actual width. My problem area is not that much at the toebox, but more in the middle section of my feet.
Excellent review, I've got the RB 110 3WD and funnily I don't like the look of the neon green laces so I replaced mine with black ones. I'd like to try 3x125s sometime in the future. Subbed!
@@ThirtyandRollin thanks for that info, I’m gonna have to do the same. Maybe we’ll cross paths some time sounds like we have some of the same stomping grounds
I have had these for about a year now. This is a really good in-depth unboxing and you hit all the points of the skate! I wish this available a year ago when I was trying to make a decision. I will say that I was not confident on them when I first got them.... I was transitioning from a flat 76mm setup,; so it was a very different feel. Being on 125 lmm wheels, amplifies any weaknesses a skater has. After a year and doing about three heat molding sessions to eliminate the ankle bone pain... These are absolutely amazing skates! I love them!
25:55 you said 195 but meant 295. I’ve had these for well over a year. The fit is very different to the previous Maxxum 4x90 and I’ve always suffered a little toe squeeze and slight heel lift with the Edge shell and liner. Can still use them for distance, but I recently put the 295 frame on the old Maxxum shell for a more comfortable fit and so far I haven’t noticed the lack of a ‘torsion box’ 😆. In general you want to keep the cuff area on the loose side, as long as the foot is locked down with the 45 and laces. The acid yellow laces are faster, btw. Good to hear RB has good customer support in the US, elsewhere it is lacking - no direct points of contact at all. Nice stride. You’ll be doing marathons in no time.
Price wise they're only like $20 bucks more then the twister 3wd... All rollerblades are overpriced compared to something like oxelo or fr skates but the design is still my favorite. I agree the cuff sucks and liner is thinner than twisters. Also finding replacement 125mm is difficult and expensive. Much easier to find something in 110mm and go down a bit on size which will also lower the height a little bit for added stability
What do you mean; no tight turns? Just wait until the natural rocker kicks in, it's a tri-skate :p I love this frame! Be careful with that inside ankle... For me it went worse with break-in not better, ankle padding on these liners are wrong placed (at least for my feet). Maybe want to try your Twister liners? But hell, just for the frames, wheels and bearings it was almost worth the price... Sick sick skate from Rollerblade...
Yep will be rolling these with Twister liners. And yes when a natural rocker kicks in it will be better but no where near a smaller wheel or rockered frame turn radius.
I own these skates. I had great use from them but after street skating heavily all the buckles have broken off. Plus the strap teeth have all worn down and now they slip and don't stay in place. great skates but I would wish they had more protection for the straps like the Powerslide Next. Because after 8 months heavy use the straps and buckles are complety fucked
Wow interesting the buckles failed. These are much higher quality than the NEXT buckles. There is a lack of protection around the buckles mainly because these are not a true Urban skate. They are meant to go far fast without falling on them much. Aka not much jumping ect. Thanks for your input on these though.
Thanks for this great review! I'm getting back into skating after 25 years off and am eyeing these. Would you recommend these for some chill pump track flow skating from time to time? They check all the other boxes for me. Thanks!
Good review! Could you please make a review of the Rollerblades RB 110? they seem to be similar to the Twisters 110 but cheaper. Granted than they have cheaper wheels, What are the differences with the boot and liner. Does it worth the extra $$? Thanks for the reviews!
@@ThirtyandRollin I've done the same more than I would like to admit while programming. I found a plugin for spell checking for the software I use there. Maybe there's something similar for your video editing software? Once again, thanks for all the content btw! You help keep me stoked to get back out there.
I don't have these specific skates but I have the Maxxum XT 4x90's, which is the same boot I think just a different frame and wheel setup. Seems like the 125 is strictly for the 'Marathon' category, maybe good for going fast for 20+ miles on a long open paved trail, but not really suitable for urban/technical skating. That's my opinion. I have the Twister 3x110's too and I think they are a good all around skate that can be used for both urban and trail environments. Also I noticed my Maxxums, you really have to use both hands to ratchet well, meaning you have to press down hard on the boot while you ratchet with the other hand. Kind of annoying. Ratcheting is easier on the Twister and I think the buckles for the Maxxums should be protected or they will get damaged after a crash. Liner is thicker on the Twister but Maxxums are made to be more breathable therefore cooler. Overall I like both.
Great video as usual man! I'm thinking on getting the Maxxum Edge 90 for Father's day, but I'm concerned about the fit since I'll buy them online (no local skate shop here). My foot is 27cm on the money. How true to size is this boot/liner configuration? Stay safe. How are the shoulder and ankle healing? 👍
IMHO this kind of skates should be sold with wax laces and the Intuition liner or at least something similar. The 125mm are my next wheels after my present 110mm on my Twister Edge with wax laces and the Intuition liner :D
@@peaspeas7202 After two years I switched to 125mm. It's harder in the beginning but I do not plan backing to 4x80mm. I rather prefer to have more space in an angle diring parallell/hokey stops. Also the 125 or 110 are much easier to achieve doublepush which is for me the holy gral of skating. Moreover in a 3 wheels setup after you skate for some time the middle wheel is slighty bigger which makes skates more easy to turn. The middle wheel is like pivot. Highly recommended.
One more Con: These skates will rattle your bones on less than smooth surfaces. Maybe it is more of a 3x125 thing than a Maxxum thing, but compared to an FR1 with 4x100, you feel every bump in the road.

I’d like to buy a pair of rollerblades. I’m not completely new to skating it but I haven’t done it in years. I’m going to use it mostly for fitness and going around the city. I was considering the RB twister xt 3wd 110. What do you think? Do you have any recommendations?
I would like to buy these beauties but question : do you know if I can put my eoskates frame (3x125 : 11.8") under this boot? And is there just one place for the frame? You cannot put the frame more on the inside or outside edge? Thanks for your interesting video
hey, awesome review! Can you tell me, do you have the same hotspot problems as you did with RB Twister Edge pair? They are really causing issues with my inner ankle on the right foot and it just keeps killing me. I'm wondering if the ankle buckle height is an issue for my feet
Yes they have similar pressure points. I have been able to skate through the pressure point on these though. I heat molded the Twisters.
3 года назад
@@ThirtyandRollin I've tried heat molding them and even though i managed to help a bit, I'm starting to be sure that the buckle is my issue. Removing the insole is the only noticable difference I can make :/ Oh well, I'll probably have to start using soft shell skates :D
I wonder if Maxxum is still making Skates, Most places do not have stock, only clearance items, and pre-order is estimated to be May, with no option to join waiting list. I like to get one, due to having a wider foot and needing the comfort. seems having comfort fit is a real challenge.
I don't think rollerblade ever made a lot of maxxum or twisters. Not much demand for $400 skates. They mostly sell macroblades and crappy mass produced $100 skates. Definitely no parts shortages at this point
Question about your Maxxums. I have the 90s, but it's pretty much the same boot. Do you find them to be really tight, causing a hot spot on your ankle bones? Thanks
Yes the inner ankle is a pressure point for lots of people. This problem exists with the Twisters as well. I always heat mold the shells in that area to allow more room.
These look super cool! I'm honestly in between getting these or the Powerslide Arise SL? I love the urban aspect but I also love the solid quick-moving experience that the power slides seem to deliver. But I could be completely wrong about these ones? Do you have any advice between deciding either or? Thank you in advance!
@@ThirtyandRollin thank you so much for the advice! I recently started watching your skating reviews and videos and find them all very helpful. My other question, and it's a rather harder question to answer is, what is your advice on Powerslide skate sizing? I remember from your Rollerblade Twister review that you would recommend going a half size down for a performance fit in those skates. I understand that every skate is different, but I'm just curious what your advice on sizing for Powerslides would be.
Great video. Looking for my first pair since the TRS Lightning! Looking for a good urban skate to hit paths, streets, pavement, think this one may be the ones!!
@@ThirtyandRollin adult size, I have been looking. I could look into those ones you just wear you shoe but they they don't have the same look😜. Thanks for responding!
@@sarek8472 You're on the low end of Powerslide Zoom dual-sizing which means you'll have space to grow into an 11. It's nearly the same boot used in their aggressive USD Sway line except they have a bonus 45° strap. It's a nice minimal design and said to wider compared to other models. If you do, get the Zoom Pro with Trinity mount and you'll have access to the wide world of third-party frames. Other brands do dual-sizing too but double check because you might be on the upper end which means no room to grow.
You know I will be watching these are the ones I was thinking of getting . Believe you said you are a sizes 9 shoes so am I . Let me know what size these are and how they fit. My rollerblades are 9 and half good fit got them a long time ago not sure if they changed the way they do sizing
My foot is 25.6cm and wear a 8.5 in the Twisters. Got these in 8.5 as well since they are the same shell as Twisters but the liners are thinner so there is some more room in these.
There's a couple of errors I want to point out. 1. The anti torsion box isn't the aluminum plates on the mounts it's that thick cutout in the boot with plastic reinforcement. That's the anti torsion box 2. Rollerblade warranty sucks. It's usually like 6 months and they make you go through the store you bought it from to make claims. They also will say if your boot cracked it's from abuse. Certainly not going to send you new skates...I have the feeling someone knew you were a RUclipsr and that's why you got the VIP treatment. I had a hard enough time getting a free replacement strap and they didn't even send a pair of straps just 1 strap came which is funny because the straps are a weak point on RB cruisers and literally cost $2 each from Alibaba. So your story about getting a new set of edges seems wild they could have just sent one replacement shell, they still have old parts at the warehouse from 20 year old skates, it's almost like they wanted you to have a new pair of edges for free RUclips publicity and marketing and it definitely worked.
@@ThirtyandRollin also the new maxxum and twisters have a super hard tongue and lace up liners.. I'm thinking of doing a mod to my twister and maxxum liners to put eyelets in the liners and lace them up. I guess you got a generous rep or after the plandemic they made a billion dollars with skate shortage and stopped caring about customer service. Imo of course....
My brother bought these and it jump started my twister collection and obsession. The twister 110mm are the most versatile. If you're going to 125mm probably get an e2 pro.... These skates make no sense.
The e2 are 320 the maximum are 295 even though i started 37 years ago I never learned how to stop with out a brake didn't even know you could do such a thing never seen it done tell I watched thirty and rolling a few year ago and at my age I'm not sure this old dog can learn a new trick . Don't want to end up on the ground. My Grandson got me longboarding at 55 fell off twice at a snails pace fracture 2 ribs so a brake is probably the best way for me to roll putting a brake on 320 would make it harder for cross overs . Have powerslide fireflys they are 255 the wheels are so close together I have had sticks suck in the wheels have to roll on one foot in to the grass to get stopped
It makes sense if you want more comfort and a bit slower pace and still more maneuverability than on e2. But then again you can just buy 125mm Urban fram for e2. Thats what I´m gonna do. I got e2 110mm.
I have these along with other Rollerblades. You must be getting paid well for this endorsement. I rode these for months hating them every day. I spend another couple hundred for the Powerslide Next Pro 125s. I now have the Rollerblades for sale. I could do a video as long as yours as to why they don't compare to the Powerslides. There are SO MANY reasons and the Powerslides cost less. The Liners are just a start. They are clumsy. They don't respond well at all. They HURT!! DO NOT BUY THESE! Go with Powerslide. More comfort, agility, speed and less $$!
Well since i also got powerslides next 100mm, I can tell you this. My foot hurt so much and i will probably sell them pretty soon. I got PS Swell too and they hurt so much too. Both are for super narrow feets! I was completely new on triskates and wanted to try something new. I bought Rollerblade E2 110mm and they are the best I have ever had! They fits my wide feet perfectly. Now I only needs to buy a new pair of Urban frames for them.
Powerslides cost less because they're made in China which is cheaper than Vietnam. They also use lesser quality wheels and bearings, the straps are very flimsy and the Trinity Mount is a gimmick and made of plastic. Also there are threads on Reddit of the boot cracking easily. The liners don't seem to be any better or worse, and they are more agile I'll give them that, because the frame is shorter, but the quality of rollerblade is better then powerslides.
I couldn't disagree more strongly about the brakes. You have to learn how to use skate brakes; it's not intuitive at all and they cause so many problems for new skaters. Ditch them straightaway, get your balance down and learn to T-stop. Don't waste time learning something that you'll be chucking in a few months anyway and that will give you far more grief than friction.

Problems with the 80mm beginner inline skates I needed to address:
1) 80mm wheels are a trip hazard when slow. Trip on twigs when too slow

I feel more confident on my skates. I look forward to your review!
All valid points to graduate from an entry level 4x80 skate but a 3x125 may not be the best jump for everyone. Thanks for your input though!

Thanks for the review! I have Twister Edges I bought a little over a month ago and they’re just too tight. I ordered these because Rollerblades site said they’re a little bit of a wider fit. I’m hoping they work out, they should be here tomorrow!
Not too much wider. These have the same shell as the Twisters just a thinner liner.
I 100% agree with you, buckles can make or break the skates. I just got the new HC Evo model and while everything else is good, the cheap buckles and the thin straps are really letting me down. Especially since I have gotten so used to the sturdy buckles of my Twister Edge.
I want to swap out the buckles for good ones with as much "MacGyver-ing" as needed. Both the Maxxum and the Roces buckles look like great options for it! I am someone who likes to strap down my skates to be very snug and I mostly do City Skate and Slalom. I like the idea of the memory buckle so I don't have to fine-tune the buckles each time and can also get in and out of the skates faster. But the look/sturdiness of the Maxxum buckles looks great too. Those clicks just sound amazing! And I can't imagine how much better they are since I thought the Twister buckles were already built like a tank.
I would love to hear your thoughts on both these buckles and which one you think might be best.
P.S. I bought the Twister Edges partly because of your video. Was very informative as always and helped me make that decision!
For your kind of skating I would swap with the Maxxum buckles.
@@ThirtyandRollin Awesome thanks man will check them out
I LOVE these boots that Rollerblade makes!! It's just ashame that my feet are too wide to fit comfy. I tried a size up but it didn't feel right either (too long).
Ya they really are made for narrow-standard feet. RBs are a good option too.
@@ThirtyandRollin I actually got the RB Pro Xs! They very comfy but slightly roomy. Still trying to get them dialed in. Can skate for hours without any foot pain now thankfully! It's also helped with my knees as well! I suppose snug/tight fitting boots transfer more energy to your legs which likely aggravated my tendonitis. I'm just happy to be skating without any pain now!
I've got wide feet too and one thing I've done is to use a heat gun on certain pressure point areas. I did it to some Razors Cults on the inside of both boots as I have fallen arches so that's where it's tight. It worked a treat and I would definitely try it again in future.
Thanks for this thorough review. These skates would have been just what I need, but now I'm sure they would not fit well on my wide feet and thin shins. Exactly the same problem I'm currently having with my 125 PS Swells.
Now my plan is to find RB cruiser/80/110 boots (almost impossible at the moment) and upgrade them with longer 125 frames.
FR boots could be an option too, but I'm not sure if they are wide enough. I have read some mixed opinions about their actual width. My problem area is not that much at the toebox, but more in the middle section of my feet.
I would go RBs
Get the invisible selfie stick set up, think it would make your videos even better! Ps you always have the best soundtracks 🤘
That requires a 360 cam. I'm not a fan of the 360 cams.
🔥😳 Big wheels on the way waiting for the famous verdict “ Pros and Cons” 👍🤔🤔🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Excellent review, I've got the RB 110 3WD and funnily I don't like the look of the neon green laces so I replaced mine with black ones.
I'd like to try 3x125s sometime in the future.
Subbed!
Thanks!
Nice review, I’ve been out the banks trail too, looks like you went about as far as I did too. Wish they’d smooth out the rest of the trail.
I agree such an amazing place! I heard there is better trail up towards Vernonia. I am going to go back to check it out.
@@ThirtyandRollin thanks for that info, I’m gonna have to do the same. Maybe we’ll cross paths some time sounds like we have some of the same stomping grounds
@@wildsonforever9784 For sure!
I have had these for about a year now. This is a really good in-depth unboxing and you hit all the points of the skate! I wish this available a year ago when I was trying to make a decision.
I will say that I was not confident on them when I first got them.... I was transitioning from a flat 76mm setup,; so it was a very different feel. Being on 125 lmm wheels, amplifies any weaknesses a skater has.
After a year and doing about three heat molding sessions to eliminate the ankle bone pain... These are absolutely amazing skates! I love them!
Yes a 125 will definitely highlight any weakness in a skaters movements.
25:55 you said 195 but meant 295.
I’ve had these for well over a year. The fit is very different to the previous Maxxum 4x90 and I’ve always suffered a little toe squeeze and slight heel lift with the Edge shell and liner. Can still use them for distance, but I recently put the 295 frame on the old Maxxum shell for a more comfortable fit and so far I haven’t noticed the lack of a ‘torsion box’ 😆. In general you want to keep the cuff area on the loose side, as long as the foot is locked down with the 45 and laces. The acid yellow laces are faster, btw.
Good to hear RB has good customer support in the US, elsewhere it is lacking - no direct points of contact at all.
Nice stride. You’ll be doing marathons in no time.
Thanks, I hope to be in the marathon distance by Sept.
Love these reviews, excitedly waiting on your take on the new XTs (hopefully my new skates)
Nice...i got the same skate, not able to get endurace e2 but i got these one, realy nice skates, fast,
They are nice for sure!
@@ThirtyandRollin yes sir agile, fast, easy lace system unlike my powerslide next core, having a hard time fixing the lace:(
@@ThirtyandRollin and same boot almost with my old twister edge men 2019
Awesome intro!
Price wise they're only like $20 bucks more then the twister 3wd... All rollerblades are overpriced compared to something like oxelo or fr skates but the design is still my favorite. I agree the cuff sucks and liner is thinner than twisters. Also finding replacement 125mm is difficult and expensive. Much easier to find something in 110mm and go down a bit on size which will also lower the height a little bit for added stability
What do you mean; no tight turns? Just wait until the natural rocker kicks in, it's a tri-skate :p I love this frame! Be careful with that inside ankle... For me it went worse with break-in not better, ankle padding on these liners are wrong placed (at least for my feet). Maybe want to try your Twister liners? But hell, just for the frames, wheels and bearings it was almost worth the price... Sick sick skate from Rollerblade...
Yep will be rolling these with Twister liners. And yes when a natural rocker kicks in it will be better but no where near a smaller wheel or rockered frame turn radius.
I hope they make a 110 3WD W version of it too!
That would be awesome!
I own these skates. I had great use from them but after street skating heavily all the buckles have broken off. Plus the strap teeth have all worn down and now they slip and don't stay in place.
great skates but I would wish they had more protection for the straps like the Powerslide Next. Because after 8 months heavy use the straps and buckles are complety fucked
Wow interesting the buckles failed. These are much higher quality than the NEXT buckles. There is a lack of protection around the buckles mainly because these are not a true Urban skate. They are meant to go far fast without falling on them much. Aka not much jumping ect. Thanks for your input on these though.
Thanks for this great review! I'm getting back into skating after 25 years off and am eyeing these. Would you recommend these for some chill pump track flow skating from time to time? They check all the other boxes for me. Thanks!
I would grab these in the 4x90 if you are looking to hit the pump track from time to time.
Good review! Could you please make a review of the Rollerblades RB 110? they seem to be similar to the Twisters 110 but cheaper. Granted than they have cheaper wheels, What are the differences with the boot and liner. Does it worth the extra $$?
Thanks for the reviews!
RBs are a great skate. More suited for a full volume wide foot though.
I give this video a rating of 3.75 wheels out of 4. First-class all around.
Thanks for all the videos! Is Just a nitpick.. You misspelled buckles as "buckels" in the pros section.
Ahhhhhh damnit! Thanks!
@@ThirtyandRollin I've done the same more than I would like to admit while programming. I found a plugin for spell checking for the software I use there. Maybe there's something similar for your video editing software? Once again, thanks for all the content btw! You help keep me stoked to get back out there.
@@Brbl I should look. Definitely a pain when you don't see it in red underlined. And you are moving fast.
I'd like to see 125 meter wheels :)
I don't have these specific skates but I have the Maxxum XT 4x90's, which is the same boot I think just a different frame and wheel setup. Seems like the 125 is strictly for the 'Marathon' category, maybe good for going fast for 20+ miles on a long open paved trail, but not really suitable for urban/technical skating. That's my opinion. I have the Twister 3x110's too and I think they are a good all around skate that can be used for both urban and trail environments. Also I noticed my Maxxums, you really have to use both hands to ratchet well, meaning you have to press down hard on the boot while you ratchet with the other hand. Kind of annoying. Ratcheting is easier on the Twister and I think the buckles for the Maxxums should be protected or they will get damaged after a crash. Liner is thicker on the Twister but Maxxums are made to be more breathable therefore cooler. Overall I like both.
Yep you are spot on.
Great video as usual man! I'm thinking on getting the Maxxum Edge 90 for Father's day, but I'm concerned about the fit since I'll buy them online (no local skate shop here). My foot is 27cm on the money. How true to size is this boot/liner configuration? Stay safe. How are the shoulder and ankle healing? 👍
It is pretty true to size.
@@ThirtyandRollin Thanks Brenden! 👍
Can you get that cuff strap to fit the twister xt? It seems I have to periodically tighten the twister cuff straps.
Not 100% sure but I think with a bit of work you could.
IMHO this kind of skates should be sold with wax laces and the Intuition liner or at least something similar.
The 125mm are my next wheels after my present 110mm on my Twister Edge with wax laces and the Intuition liner :D
how do you ride them? harder than 4x80? Thank you
@@peaspeas7202 After two years I switched to 125mm. It's harder in the beginning but I do not plan backing to 4x80mm. I rather prefer to have more space in an angle diring parallell/hokey stops. Also the 125 or 110 are much easier to achieve doublepush which is for me the holy gral of skating.
Moreover in a 3 wheels setup after you skate for some time the middle wheel is slighty bigger which makes skates more easy to turn. The middle wheel is like pivot. Highly recommended.
@@jayce704 thanks very much!
@@peaspeas7202 no biggie
One more Con: These skates will rattle your bones on less than smooth surfaces. Maybe it is more of a 3x125 thing than a Maxxum thing, but compared to an FR1 with 4x100, you feel every bump in the road.
I’d like to buy a pair of rollerblades. I’m not completely new to skating it but I haven’t done it in years. I’m going to use it mostly for fitness and going around the city. I was considering the RB twister xt 3wd 110. What do you think? Do you have any recommendations?
Those are a great option. Do you know if you have a wider fuller volume foot or narrow?
I would like to buy these beauties but question : do you know if I can put my eoskates frame (3x125 : 11.8") under this boot? And is there just one place for the frame? You cannot put the frame more on the inside or outside edge?
Thanks for your interesting video
If it is a 165 mount then yes. There is only one spot to mount to this boot.
Шикарные ролики!
hey, awesome review! Can you tell me, do you have the same hotspot problems as you did with RB Twister Edge pair?
They are really causing issues with my inner ankle on the right foot and it just keeps killing me. I'm wondering if the ankle buckle height is an issue for my feet
Yes they have similar pressure points. I have been able to skate through the pressure point on these though. I heat molded the Twisters.
@@ThirtyandRollin I've tried heat molding them and even though i managed to help a bit, I'm starting to be sure that the buckle is my issue.
Removing the insole is the only noticable difference I can make :/
Oh well, I'll probably have to start using soft shell skates :D
@ Ahhhh ya if your ankle lines up with it I could see the happening.
I wonder if Maxxum is still making Skates, Most places do not have stock, only clearance items, and pre-order is estimated to be May, with no option to join waiting list. I like to get one, due to having a wider foot and needing the comfort. seems having comfort fit is a real challenge.
Yes Rollerblade is still making Maxxum skates. Just a huge delay in manufacturing facilities.
I don't think rollerblade ever made a lot of maxxum or twisters. Not much demand for $400 skates. They mostly sell macroblades and crappy mass produced $100 skates. Definitely no parts shortages at this point
If you have a wide foot or need comfort buy an rb110
is this onky for 195 mount or can it get a 165 mount in there? (use 90/110 endless frames on that )
You can use 165.
Isnt this the exact same shell as your twisters? What makes it different from the twisters other than the frame? Do they both have those vents?
Straps, cuffs, liners, frames, wheel size and no side slide plates.
+Thirty and Rollin Ideas where to find these in a Size 13?
I don't unfortunately right now.
@@ThirtyandRollin FYI, I found a pair at Thuro Skate Shop out of Brookline, Mass. They have a lot of hard-to-find skates in different sizes.
How is the shock absorbant/Vibrations on rougher Asphalt Downhill? Did you get any experience on that🤔
The bigger wheel smoothes out a lot of it but It would be nice to have a bit more shock absorbsion.
Question about your Maxxums. I have the 90s, but it's pretty much the same boot. Do you find them to be really tight, causing a hot spot on your ankle bones?
Thanks
Yes the inner ankle is a pressure point for lots of people. This problem exists with the Twisters as well. I always heat mold the shells in that area to allow more room.
@@ThirtyandRollin can you please elaborate on how you do it? Thank you
These look super cool! I'm honestly in between getting these or the Powerslide Arise SL? I love the urban aspect but I also love the solid quick-moving experience that the power slides seem to deliver. But I could be completely wrong about these ones?
Do you have any advice between deciding either or?
Thank you in advance!
Either are great. If you want versatility don't get 125s
@@ThirtyandRollin thank you so much for the advice! I recently started watching your skating reviews and videos and find them all very helpful.
My other question, and it's a rather harder question to answer is, what is your advice on Powerslide skate sizing? I remember from your Rollerblade Twister review that you would recommend going a half size down for a performance fit in those skates. I understand that every skate is different, but I'm just curious what your advice on sizing for Powerslides would be.
@@pieinthesky163 They are all dual size so just get the size closets to your for foot in cm.
@@ThirtyandRollin sounds great. Thank you again for your help!
Are these the re-designed skates simply titled Maxxum ? Or the old version?
between Rollerblade Maxxum Edge 125 3WD and powerslide next 125 mm, what is the best one?
I haven't been on the Powerslide 125 but both great options. Im loving my Maxxum Edges
Had mine for about a month, only about 30 or so miles on them though cause it finally stopped snowing. How often should I rotate?
Whenever you start to see wedges forming in your wheels. The idea is to wear them out evenly.
Hi. My feet are sooo wide (11 cm) so if I understand well your video, these skates are not for me?
Pat
Naw they would be pretty tight.
Great video. Looking for my first pair since the TRS Lightning! Looking for a good urban skate to hit paths, streets, pavement, think this one may be the ones!!
Hmmm. Aftyer watching the Pros and Cons, I may want a skate with better tight turning capability. I skate streets with cars and people. Suggestions?
@@madcircle1970 I would go with the Maxxum Edge 90s or Twister Edge 80s
@@ThirtyandRollin I just grabbed a pair of Twister Edge X's. But thanks so much for your videos! Inline is awesome!!
@@madcircle1970 Great choice!
Wondering can you recommend an adjustable skate for young teens around a US 10 and up so they can grow into? Urban or aggressive doesn't matter
US 10 mens size or kids size? There is no adjustable skate in an adult size. There are some in kids sizes.
@@ThirtyandRollin adult size, I have been looking. I could look into those ones you just wear you shoe but they they don't have the same look😜. Thanks for responding!
@@sarek8472 You're on the low end of Powerslide Zoom dual-sizing which means you'll have space to grow into an 11. It's nearly the same boot used in their aggressive USD Sway line except they have a bonus 45° strap. It's a nice minimal design and said to wider compared to other models. If you do, get the Zoom Pro with Trinity mount and you'll have access to the wide world of third-party frames. Other brands do dual-sizing too but double check because you might be on the upper end which means no room to grow.
How much tihis sir
I think they are $360 USD
Hey. I have a question.... is it normal for the bottom of your feet to ache while rollerblading? Also, is calves soreness normal after rollerblading?
Yes if you are just starting out or just getting back into it. That will go away after a while.
@@ThirtyandRollin thanks for answering my questions ! 😊✌🏼
You know I will be watching these are the ones I was thinking of getting . Believe you said you are a sizes 9 shoes so am I . Let me know what size these are and how they fit. My rollerblades are 9 and half good fit got them a long time ago not sure if they changed the way they do sizing
My foot is 25.6cm and wear a 8.5 in the Twisters. Got these in 8.5 as well since they are the same shell as Twisters but the liners are thinner so there is some more room in these.
@@ThirtyandRollin thanks
@@gordonhorse4283 Np
@@ThirtyandRollin just measured my foot 25.6 same size feet

Further clarification can be made whether this product is strong enough and who should purchase this product
@@mohamedreda-fy1hw Noted!
❤❤
What is the frame my 165?
There's a couple of errors I want to point out.
1. The anti torsion box isn't the aluminum plates on the mounts it's that thick cutout in the boot with plastic reinforcement. That's the anti torsion box
2. Rollerblade warranty sucks. It's usually like 6 months and they make you go through the store you bought it from to make claims. They also will say if your boot cracked it's from abuse. Certainly not going to send you new skates...I have the feeling someone knew you were a RUclipsr and that's why you got the VIP treatment. I had a hard enough time getting a free replacement strap and they didn't even send a pair of straps just 1 strap came which is funny because the straps are a weak point on RB cruisers and literally cost $2 each from Alibaba. So your story about getting a new set of edges seems wild they could have just sent one replacement shell, they still have old parts at the warehouse from 20 year old skates, it's almost like they wanted you to have a new pair of edges for free RUclips publicity and marketing and it definitely worked.
Nope, got new skates sent to me when I had less than 500 sub on RUclips.
@@ThirtyandRollin also the new maxxum and twisters have a super hard tongue and lace up liners.. I'm thinking of doing a mod to my twister and maxxum liners to put eyelets in the liners and lace them up.
I guess you got a generous rep or after the plandemic they made a billion dollars with skate shortage and stopped caring about customer service. Imo of course....
If you are comfortable moving to 125mm, you already starting to hate using heel break...
I agree but if a beginner decides to get these at least it is there for them. But good luck lol
@@ThirtyandRollinyeah..beginner on 125 is kinda like buying Porsche as your first car,
@@DifeiYao Lol
Would they also work on gravel?
No you would need some off road skates for that. Like some Powerslide SUVs.
My brother bought these and it jump started my twister collection and obsession.
The twister 110mm are the most versatile. If you're going to 125mm probably get an e2 pro.... These skates make no sense.
I can see that logic.
The e2 are 320 the maximum are 295 even though i started 37 years ago I never learned how to stop with out a brake didn't even know you could do such a thing never seen it done tell I watched thirty and rolling a few year ago and at my age I'm not sure this old dog can learn a new trick . Don't want to end up on the ground. My Grandson got me longboarding at 55 fell off twice at a snails pace fracture 2 ribs so a brake is probably the best way for me to roll putting a brake on 320 would make it harder for cross overs . Have powerslide fireflys they are 255 the wheels are so close together I have had sticks suck in the wheels have to roll on one foot in to the grass to get stopped
It makes sense if you want more comfort and a bit slower pace and still more maneuverability than on e2. But then again you can just buy 125mm Urban fram for e2. Thats what I´m gonna do. I got e2 110mm.
I'm not convinced 3 wheels are faster if your a heavier skater..extra weight on bearings and wheels causing friction
That would be an interesting experiment.
Already proven 3 wheels are faster, especially 125mm... Maybe 3x110 vs 4x110 might have a point but nothing is faster than 125
The brakes are the saddest piece ever, always tucked in a box and nobody will ever use them :( sniff....they're even more lonely than allen keys.
I have these along with other Rollerblades. You must be getting paid well for this endorsement. I rode these for months hating them every day. I spend another couple hundred for the Powerslide Next Pro 125s. I now have the Rollerblades for sale. I could do a video as long as yours as to why they don't compare to the Powerslides. There are SO MANY reasons and the Powerslides cost less. The Liners are just a start. They are clumsy. They don't respond well at all. They HURT!! DO NOT BUY THESE! Go with Powerslide. More comfort, agility, speed and less $$!
No pay just skates for review. You should make a video.
Well since i also got powerslides next 100mm, I can tell you this. My foot hurt so much and i will probably sell them pretty soon. I got PS Swell too and they hurt so much too. Both are for super narrow feets! I was completely new on triskates and wanted to try something new. I bought Rollerblade E2 110mm and they are the best I have ever had! They fits my wide feet perfectly. Now I only needs to buy a new pair of Urban frames for them.
Powerslides cost less because they're made in China which is cheaper than Vietnam. They also use lesser quality wheels and bearings, the straps are very flimsy and the Trinity Mount is a gimmick and made of plastic. Also there are threads on Reddit of the boot cracking easily. The liners don't seem to be any better or worse, and they are more agile I'll give them that, because the frame is shorter, but the quality of rollerblade is better then powerslides.
Seba and now FR Skates make the best staps and buckles for more than a decade. Are you living under a rock?
Maybe the $600 sebas but the $300 fr skates are trash
I couldn't disagree more strongly about the brakes. You have to learn how to use skate brakes; it's not intuitive at all and they cause so many problems for new skaters. Ditch them straightaway, get your balance down and learn to T-stop. Don't waste time learning something that you'll be chucking in a few months anyway and that will give you far more grief than friction.
