The Bont Cheetah brings new meaning to the term 'value for money' for an inline skate. This is a fully heat moldable, light weight fiberglass racing boot that is loaded with features.
This boot is made by hand using Bont's monocoque manufacturing technique. Each layer of fiberglass is hand laid in different directions before being painted with resin and then bandaged extremely tight to remove any excess resin. The boot is then baked in the oven for 45 minutes for curing. The light weight outer skin is then stitched and glued to the base.
The package skate comes equiped with Bont's AL S-frame wich is one of the strongest frames on the market and weighs just 170 grams.

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.

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.
