Traditional 2pt 165mm frame mount spacing has them compatible with a wide variety of frames and wheel setups should you want to change later, but they come with the strong and sturdy Playlife Gamma Frames that are 3D casted. The Playlife brand is known to be a little more price point friendly, and these certainly hold true to that. They come with removable Basic Dual-Fit Liners (not heat moldable) that are very comfy and supportive. Playlife 80mm 85A Wheels with ABEC9 Bearings then round things out. This package does NOT come with a brake, but the Powerslide Urban Brake SM is compatible with these frames.
