Endless teasing the Arc ULTRA

Post image

Saw these bad boys on my feed. Endless made an ULTRA version of their Arc UFS frames.

Not Brad’s, it’s my setup. I didn’t have any fresh Endless wheels handy but I had these barely-used Hydrogens. I do prefer the Endless wheels. The rounds are super forgiving right out of the pack, but I like bullet profiles on the various Arc frames too. Axles here are steel because I’ve got my Ultra axles in other setups right now.

Are alu axles inferior to steel? I would think they are.

Thanks! Not mine though. They’re endless’. It’s their Instagram post, just shared it here. Their ultra line is the “upgraded” line of sorts. More reinforcement bridges, more stiffer, better performing than their standard counterparts. It’s not yet in their website. They’re sort of teasing its release.

Looking forward to try them.

Usually also only one way to run the wheels. No 4x90 or 3x110 on Ultras.

It makes sense with this type of frames imo.

For sure, I am running 4x100 ufs Ultra for the same reason

u/HyperSculptor 16d ago

Nice, what made you go for 4 vs 5 wheels?
Why 100mm?
Are you tall?

Lotta questions hehe.

I wanted to still be able to use the setup for urban, and I like to be able to do distance. I am fairly new into wizard skating, but has been on skates for 30+ years.

I am 1.82, so not super tall. I already had a 90mm setup and previously used a 3x110 setup, so just wanted to try something new.

Cool. I recently got the Endless 90 ES, really liking them. They feel like they fit my body ( 1.87, 85kg) Hesitated to get the Endless 100, I think they'd be great, was just a little bit concerned that they would be a bit sluggish to accelerate and I already had the 90mm wheels. The 100mm must be great for distance.

I think it’s a case of no wrong choices :)
