Oxelo Diabolo - the first inline skate with an effective braking system.
An analysis of various attempts to control speed by newcomers to the sport of inline skating clarified the glaring need for security without loss of control or balance.
We set ourselves the challenging goal of developing a braking system which could be triggered whilst maintaining full wheel contact - thus guaranteeing user control and balance whilst managing speed.
The design of the ankle cuff and soft shoe-part were critical in providing user feedback while braking, maintaining a comfortable fit at all times.
The Diabolo is one of the coolest inline skates by nature of tuned airways beneath the insole and integrated into an active chassis necessary for the braking system.
Working closely with Nicolas Quendez - Technical Director at the Oxelo Decathlon Brand was a pure pleasure and the final product really does speak for itself.
