FR FR3 80 Black 2025 Skates
FR FR3 80 Black skates are the missing link between the full functionality and highest quality parts of the FR1 skates and the more budget-friendly and less complete version – the FRX. Here we have a hybrid of parts from both skates, which will certainly satisfy those who want to fit into this price mid-range between budget and flagship skates. However, it is still the same quality level that SEBA and FR skates are known for, so we will be able to do everything we want in these skates and rise to the next level!
The FR3 cuff does not have the ability to change its position because it is attached with regular screws; in more expensive models from FR there is an adjustment option. FR skates were the first to introduce the possibility of replacing the slider (side protection of the boot), so if we damage or scratch the slider, we can replace it at any time.
The skates are equipped with two buckle closures: upper and middle (called 45). The upper plastic buckle has an auto-lock system preventing accidental opening. The micrometric buckle at the 45-degree closure. Long laces with a lace lock from FR are known for very strong hold, and quite uniquely, they allow lacing all the way to the top of the inner boot, providing unmatched hold and riding comfort, at the cost of reduced mobility in the vertical plane – in other words, it will be a very good solution for beginner skaters who have problems maintaining ankle control.
The skates use the X3R frame. Thanks to the new frame, we have the opportunity to try both urban skating and slalom, because the first and last wheels in the frame can be raised relative to the middle ones, or all can be left in one position.
You no longer have to wonder which skates to choose for the city or slalom. You have it all in one pair of skates!.
The creators of the brand, Sebastien Laffargue and Gregoire Pinto, made it a point of honor to create something that did not exist on the market at that time, namely freeride skates in a hard shell that combined comfort, performance, versatility and durability.

Construction of FR SEBA FR3 80 Black Skates:
Outer Material Seba
Outer Material
The hard FR1 shell provides stability, solid support and precision during skating. The shell is designed to stabilize the foot as best as possible, thus guaranteeing immediate transfer of applied force to the skate. This significantly increases control over the skate, allowing easier maneuvering.
Seba Liner
Inner Material
Seba FR Liner - Inside the FR3 shell we find a comfortable, anatomically shaped liner with a lacing option at the top, which allows for better foot hold. Under the liner there is a shock absorber increasing riding comfort and landing jumps.
Inner Material Seba
Closure
Aluminum FK buckle, 45o buckle, laces. - FR 3 is equipped with an upper aluminum FK buckle, a 45o buckle and a lacing system ensuring a constant foot position during skating.
Seba Skate Frame
Frame
Seba X2R frame - 243mm - with the possibility of setting the wheels in a "banana" - FR frames are the highest quality equipment for demanding skaters. Its construction is a high-quality one-piece alloy that can be used in any conditions – for long rides, skatepark, freeride and above all slalom. This means that, as in the case of FRX, we can lift the front and rear wheels up, which gives us the ability to ride on a rocker (called by some skaters as "banana") which will halve the turning radius, thus enabling very intense slalom riding, spins and making the riding experience similar to that of hockey skates..The largest wheels that fit such a frame are 80mm, providing a 243mm wheelbase.
Wheels
Seba: Downtown 80mm/85A BLACK.
