06 mission line

Yes, they are lighter than the 950's....The boots between the two are fairly close in weight, but overall the skate is lighter than the 950's....

Don't quote me on the $20 per wheel....I am not exactly sure....We went away from swiss bearing on the high end, since we were able to acheive the same results with the Titanium bearings, and save a bit of weight....Every gram counts.....

Can we get a close up of the black boot?

Just by an off-chance...need any beta testers? :D

i was thinking, how well are carbon fiber hubs for rebound? wouldn't they be as solid as a rock? also since the wheel is white and from hyper would it be safe to assume that it uses the same stuff from their new Unity Shift wheel? http://www.epuck.com/webapp/wcs/stores/ser...tegory_rn=4924# ?

Justin,

I'll be happy to jump in here to answer the wheel question. Regarding the new Zero G (Zero Gravity) wheel, it's simple, this wheel was developed to be the lightest wheel in the world, and it is! As you can guess, we took the idea from the ever competitive composite stick market. It's lighter than the Blue Flame and even lighter than the new Labeda Genesis wheel. The first step was to develop a core that would be light and strong. It took a year and a half to develop, test and produce, and now it's almost ready to release to the market. The second step was to create a new chemistry that would not only bond strongly to the carbon core, but that would also wear and grip well. That has also been accomplished. These wheels have been tested by some of the top players in the world over the past 6 months and have passed with flying colors. The undeniable thing about the new Zero G wheel, is that they are extremely light. As soon as you put them on your skates you can feel the difference. It will be like trying to switch back to a wood stick after using an M1. They will set the new bench mark for wheel technology. As for the price, yes, they will be pricey, anyone that uses a carbon fiber stick can attest to that, but we will do our best to make it as affordable as possible. On a side note, I think everyone will be excited to know that over the past 2 years, Hyper has been very busy. quietly developing some interesting new wheel concepts, like we've done in the past when we were the first to develop dual and triple pour technologies. We are preparing to debut these new wheels this summer. To be exact, Hyper will unveil 4, that's right, 4 NEW wheels, including the Zero Gravity wheel. We have one more really exciting wheel coming out this summer that will fall into our new Lightweight category and and 2 new wheels that will fall into our New Indoor Grip category. We are even preparing a new Multi Surface category for all of the players who still skate on roll on, painted surfaces and cement. We know that there are still a lot of rinks that have not adopted plastic tiled surfaces, and these new wheels will be perfect for you whether you skate on plastic tiles or another indoor surface. Look for all of the new wheels this summer on the various Hyper Sponsored teams including the Hyper OC Cowboys, Detroit Mission Hyper Stars and Tour Bordercats. The new wheel line up will hit store shelves in the fall. I hope that answers most of the questions. We'll see you this summer.

i still don't see how well it would be for rebound. if the core is solid carbon fiber then it must be as hard as a rock and if the wheel were built to last then i would think the wheel would be in the higher A ratings. going for an all out light wheel is nice but is the performance there? I haven't tried the new Genesis wheel yet but i think that one will be the best performance wheel out there... wear is another story though especially with labeda. i'll stick with my blueflames for the time being but i think i'll try the genesis when i buy my new set or maybe your unity shifts if i'm short on money when my blue flames wear out. but hey you can prove me wrong by sending me a set or two...

Justin, how can these skates have any kind of quality stiffners and still be lighter then the Heliums?

I am interested in this skate but have my doubts about how long it would last.

Can u put my fears to rest?

[shute 4]

he said they were going to be lighter but not by much i'm sure.. it's safe to say that most of the weight saved will be from the wheels.

wow, i never thought my thread would have turned into this

[JR Boucicaut 3802]

Well, welcome to MSH. That's how we do it.

becareful because if the mods dont like your opinion, the3y wont post it or youll be in trouble.

i guess people just wanted to see if mission could improve their inlines and what theyd look like..................if we could only have more detailed pictures

Apparently I am the only person that will miss DNA; I really liked the DNA setup.

I'm with you.

[CSW1618 5]

its a great topic, and mission did many upgrades from the problems that happend in last years models

[Kovy_Ribs_Fedo 3]

Are the wheels for indoor or outdoor?

[CSW1618 5]

then new lightweight hyper wheels are for indoor

[Justin 1933 134]

How where we able to make the skates lighter? Wheel and bearing first of all....Second, we changed internal construction materials that are stronger and lighter...You'll see...

[Eazy_b97 1]

This may be an unfair comment, but it seems like the Mission ice skates and Mission rollerblades are on opposite fields. I get the impression The S series pushes fit and overall performance despite its weight, where the rollerblades are driven by weight. I know the L series has been introduced this year, it just seems a little contradictory to me. I am by no means trying to attack or confront anyone, it just seems a little odd to me. I could be mistaken on the intents though and I know each series Ideally wants both, but it seems their priorities are a little different.

[Justin 1933 134]

Definitely not an unfair comment...

I would not say the skates are on opposite fields...Fit is the number one priority with all Mission skates, followed by performance, durability, comfort, and weight.

Light weight can be achieved without sacrificing fit..The L Series skates have proven that...Supple fit is about Maximum range of motion; It gives players the freedom to use their ankles to the fullest...Lite Fite is designed with the some of the same key fit areas, but offers a more traditional platform in terms of support...The Helium skates fall in line with the Lite Fit skates, but with some key differences: They are designed to work with the stride of a roller player and the demands a roller player has on their skates....For example. more forward flex (i.e. Past Vert Eyelets) is extremely important in roller, to allow a player to achieve their optimal stride and turning ability...

This may sound like a bunch of mumbo jumbo, but the fact of the matter is "FIT IS KING" at Mission...I hope this answers your questions.

I really hope so. The 05 line turned to on to tour skates and I was a die hard mission guy since 96. If what u say is true then I will return to Mission skates without even thinkin twice (well as long as the skate fits my foot right :P)

[CSW1618 5]

hopefully all the problems from last years models have been corrected.. im still using D1C's but I had a friend that went through atleast 6-8 He750's all because of the eyelets

[whbd18 0]

are these rollerblades strong enough for ice hockey ,those white/grey skates would look like nice skates

[GeeZa32 0]

are these rollerblades strong enough for ice hockey ,those white/grey skates would look like nice skates

I definetly wouldnt try it...

[nomorals 0]

Thank god they're going away from factory wheels, I've had two sets and could not skate on them for more than one game before tossing em.

[CSW1618 5]

I personaly liked the factory wheels, I guess its preference

[kovalchuk71 212]

They are terrible IMO.....

That is not true at all. There is a difference between opinions and garbage. Those who post garbage end up on mod-approval.

Justin,

Are the Mg chassis going to be available to purchase by themselves? i remember a few years ago when we carried mission, we were able to get them. Unfortunately, i've never really had much success with roller hockey skates because i love really stiff skates and always have to convert ice skates.
