2008 Bont Jet package

Adam's Inline custom setup package
3 point means bont boots connect the frame in 3 locations instead of 2. This low connection point of the boot/frame makes for a very strong setup. The conicle cone shaped bridges of the boot now come down to meet the frame, making a strong setup with no twisting during skating.  One of the most revolutionary inventions since 100mm wheels came out. Bont has figured out how to make a 4x100mm and 4x110mm boot very low profile. The whole speed skating industry has figured out that 100mm wheels are the fastest, but low profile setup are hard to come by.

Low profile means more power to the ground, less stress on ankles and back. This new 3-point apache has a very very low profile, the lowest out of any combination made.  This allowes the boot to very low to the ground. Great for skaters with back problems of ankles issues. Bont also add a new angle to the boot. This new lower heal angle gives added back comfort and more stability. This is a huge invention. Many top skaters have tried this and quickly feel the huge advantage in the lower heal.

Adam's View:
This package is 15% lighter than ANY other 4x100 package I have put together. I'm very picky with my setups. The jet boot, Tru-Rev 4x100 frame setup I was using was the lightest due to the tru-rev frame being so light. However; this 3-point boot and frame combo is lighter. This is due to the frame being lighter since the boot comes down to meet the frame. Now the frame is very light.

Race Package Includes:

Race Tip:
The lower heal allows the skater to have more of a side push. Your slide is longer and more to the side than back. Also, the 3-point lower boot angle causes the toe off push at the end of your stride to all on the ground. The frame stays on the ground through the whole push. Thus more speed and comfort.

Non racers tip: You do not have to be a racer to own this skate. The 3 point makes skating easier. Your stride feels more comfortable and more efficient. And a lot less stress on back and ankles. This Jet version is a low cost way to get into the 3-point 4x100 setup at a great price.


Race 2008 Tip:
One of the improvements in the 2008 bont boots from the 2007 is the tongue. The 2008 tongue is a lot softer and forms better to foot.
