Bont inline speed skates

Bont invented the modern inline speed skate, and was the first company to use materials like carbon fibre, kevlar and fibreglass, as well as thermoplastics, and velcro.

Bont also invented heat moldable boots, and was the first company to make inline speed skates where the blade and frame could be adjusted on the boot. They were also the first company to use lace covers, no void frames and aerodynamic skates

Bont was founded in 1975 in Sydney Australia by Sara and Inze Bont.
