RBK 8K Pump inlines?

[Martinr66 0]

Hi

I've been looking at getting some new skates and was looking at the Reebok lineup, I notice that this year there isn't an 8K in the official lineup however I found some 8k's on a German website called hockeyoffice.com

Are these the same as the 9k pumps? or are they a totally different boot for the European market?

Thanks

Not sure how reputable that site is, but I did check Hockey Monkey's Europe site & compared the 8K's listed there to the 9K's listed on the US site and the skates look very similar. Same Chassis & the graphics look very similar so I would assume there is not much difference between skates.

They appear to be the same skate with minor differences in exterior appearance.

Thanks guys, I think they are basically the same boot but for the Euro market, I've seen a lot of photo's of the skates and they seem to be very similar if not the same as the 9k's

I'm thinking about buying a pair at the end of the month so I will find out first hand :-)

Just remember that the new Reebok line uses the all 80 wheel setup. Not sure what you're used to, but that was a huge turnoff for me personally. I opted to convert 14k ice boots to a Hi-Lo setup.
