Supercell 2.0 Inline Frame

The Supercell is Bont's first inline speed skating carbon fiber frame. Using nanotech 'super cell' resin to not only lighten the frame but also make it more impact resistant, the Supercell is the next generation in carbon frames. 

Carbon is an extremely strong material when it is curved. We designed the Supercell frame to be curved at every angle you look to produce an extremely rigid structure and one of the stiffest frames ever made. 

To match your skating style and look the Supercell is available in two levels of stiffness, blue or gold color, and either a shiny or matte finish. The Firm frame is well suited to indoor, track, and road skating and has a small amount of flex. While the XXFirm frame is better suited to road skating.

• CARBON FIBER

  Ever wondered what Carbon Fiber is? For instance, is it Carbon Fiber or Carbon Fibre? To clarify, Fibre and Fiber have the same meaning. Fibre is the British English spelling, while Fiber is the US English spelling.
  
  Carbon Fiber is a revolutionary material. It is as strong as steel with a fraction of the weight.
  
  Carbon Fiber consists of mainly bonded carbon atoms. For example, the fibers’ long axis consists of particles that have been bonded together and aligned. Following this, a yarn is created by twisting several thousand of the threads together. Finally, a piece of fabric is woven from the yarn.
  
  Here at Bont, we have been producing carbon-based boots since 1989. Above all and most importantly, we source our carbon exclusively from the world’s number one carbon manufacturer, Toray of Japan.
  
  

  

  3K PLAIN

  
  

  3k plain is a tightly woven carbon, which is commonly used in the Aircraft industry and Bont shoes.

  

  UNIDIRECTIONAL

  
  

  An extremely stiff, lightweight, and adaptive carbon fiber. We use Unidirectional Carbon in our boots, which allows us to lay the carbon in a direction we choose. Therefore provide extremely stiff and lightweight boots. For example the Vaypor.

  

  12K PLAIN

  
  

  A cheaper form of carbon. 12K Plain carbon is not as strong as 3k Plain carbon, which results in the price being around 20% cheaper.

   

  INDUSTRY MISREPRESENTATION

  In the old days, if you purchased a plastic or nylon based shoe, you knew what you were getting. However, nowadays, with all of the expensive modern materials, it is getting harder to identify what is in your product. As a result, you may not be getting what you thought you purchased.
  
  Here are some handy tips on different ways manufacturers use materials. That is to say, use these points for consideration in your next purchase.

  
  One layer of carbon
  Often, manufacturers misrepresent carbon shoes. For example, the shoe base can be an injection-molded plastic, or nylon, or fiberglass base and usually covered with a single layer of carbon fiber. Unfortunately, when you buy a shoe, and you see that it has a carbon base, the chances are that only the outer layer is carbon.
  
  Unidirectional carbon
  A variety of shoes are marketed as Unidirectional carbon. However, many of these shoes use injection molded carbon in the plastic and call this Unidirectional Carbon. Consequently, we feel this is a misuse of the terminology. For example, here at Bont, Unidirectional Carbon means carbon fiber, where all of the strands travel in the same direction.
  
  Silver fiberglass
  Many shoes use a plastic injection molded base with some carbon particles in it. Also, these shoes typically have a single layer of silver fiberglass for the outer layer. As such, manufacturers advertise ‘carbon fiber’ for these shoes. They are allowed to use this term as there is carbon dust in the plastic mold under the outer fiberglass layer. However, the fiberglass woven material on the outside is not carbon. Above all, remember Carbon Fiber is always black.
  
  100% composite
  What is 100% composite? This term almost covers anything. Therefore, the question you need to ask when considering a composite boot is, A composite of what? In short, a composite boot is usually a nylon fiberglass composite.
  
  Monocoque
  A Monocoque shoe is where the carbon is directly laminated onto the liner. Unfortunately, some companies are calling a carbon shell with an integrated heel cup a Monocoque shoe; however, it isn’t.
  
  In summary, be aware of companies jumping on the bandwagon of carbon technology and using keywords to promote their product. Above all, do your research and be mindful of what you are purchasing. We hope this helps your decision in your carbon boot purchase.
