HISTORY
Bont was founded in Sydney in 1975 when Inze Bont, a recreational speed skater decided to fiberglass the back of his leather speed skates to gain more support. Bont was the first footwear manufacturer to use exotic material like fiberglass in 1974, Kevlar in 1986 and Carbon Fiber in 1989, and the first to use heat moldable resins and thermoplastics. In the 1980's Bont dominated the quad racing scene with the lightest and strongest boots on the market thanks to our unique one-piece manufacturing technique. Bont was the first quad skate company to use lace covers, velcro, and aluminum strengtheners in the boots.

Epic wheel choice for anyone wanting to get noticed and appreciates quality over quantity.They are lightweight, are incredibly consistent and are clearly designed and made with the upmost care and high standards.These wheels are a great head turner, catching the attention of everyone who lays eyes on these bad boys. I’m extremely impressed with how they feel while in use. They are a bit on the Pricy side but you pay for what you get.Side note:Bont recommends you purchase their Aluminum hub wheels because they are far more precise than plastic hub wheels so you will need to use the 10.2mm Gold 608 Inline Self Centering Spacers from Bont between the bearings. Regular 10.35mm spacers still work but you may hear some noise when skating. A bearing press in my opinion is a must for inserting and removing bearings from aluminum wheel hubs.I have the Bont Skate - Aluminum Bearing Press Puller - Fits up to 125mm Wheels - For Inline Speed Skate Wheels and I highly recommend just biting the bullet and spending the extra money to ensure the wheels don’t become damaged installing and removing the bearings.Overall I’m extremely impressed and satisfied.
