Features of the VO2 Max for men:

• four 90mm wheels
• aluminum frame
• a high cuff (for stability)
• ILQ-9 bearings

Street price is expected to be $199. The skates are already showing up in stores and online.

K2 boasts that the skates can "handle all types of skating terrain without vibration (due to the larger wheels) while reaching speeds once unattainable in skates." ... (K2 took some artistic license with that description. ... But they are nice skates.)
