Welcome on Skali TV, I'm Skali and i thank you to watch my videos !!
Today i will show you the first part of my Powerslide Hardcore Evo 2012 test
as i realised with the 2011 model that you can watch here (first part) and also here (second part)
The test for 2011 was about the last year skate, for 2012 we can see together what is new and different in the box
What's inside?
So the skates are well packaged and protected
I also took the 2011 model to compare the skates
So about the similarity, both skates are principaly with black color
the matter didn't change on the external part of the Skin
So there are new side protection that you can remove and change with a screwdriver
in the front of the Skate, same reinforced skin
You can see a new buckle with more precise and stronger system
Here they removed directly the small plastic protection that i breaked everytime. so now it's perfect, it's exactly what i made for my test last year
There is also a new buckle on the top, seems to be more strong and precise too
and a cuff really hard, it's the most important
the color and texture is a little bit different than 2011, it's seem to be a fake leather (or real leather) ... black or green-black
the shell is still composed of Carbon and fiberglass (30% fiberglass according to Powerslide informations)
The frame has new material, in 2011 it was like that... Alfa Frame
Now for 2012, it's a Magnesium Frame. I will see the difference during the 2nd video of the Test in Slalom
It's the 243mm frame... with flat setting.
Powerslide annouced that the 243mm frames will be pre-rockered but only for the Aftermarket frames...
All the Skates for smaller sizes will be sold with pre-rockered frames
I continue... so there are the basical round laces.. I know that i will change it for flat laces that i prefer
on the Buckle, you must push and not pull, it's also something new
The tongue is almost the same than 2011 it's really strong and can resist long time longer than 2010 wich destroyed in the middle
They already changed it in 2011, so this new one was made in the same way.
Generally, the skates are light if you compare with 2011 model it's almost the same weight
The wheels are "Powerslide Fsk" Wheels Last year i changed the Wheels for "Matter" ones and i skate everytimes with it and i will do the same for 2012 So i can't say you about the wheels
You can still see the small milimeters on the frames.. Unfortunally there are not the same on the shoe, so it's unusable but it's not so important, i hope next year it will be ok
The Padding inside the shoe is new. It seems to be more confortable and i will tell you if it's right during my skating test
So the skates give a really strong impression of precision, rigidity, hardness...
about the front stratch, i know that i had some troubles with it last year but it seems that they reinforced the fixation
So now it's time to watch the skates in Video... then i will publish later the 2nd part of the Test in Slalom on Skates
