Product Description
Who this setup is for
If you appreciate the classic Quadstar ride but want a sharper aesthetic and dialed performance, this edition is for you. This skate can be used by skaters of any level, including new skaters, but it has been designed for the elite-level skater. The 59 mm wheel profile ensures quick acceleration and easy maneuvering, while the plate and boot combination provides solid support when you need to drive power through your edges.
The boot, comfort, and fit
The Quadstar boot is designed to strike a balance between support and responsiveness. The boot is very lightweight. The fit is secure through the heel and midfoot, with a slightly relaxed toe feel for comfort over longer sessions. The boot uses heat-moldable construction, allowing you to fine-tune hot spots or tighten heel hold at home. The upper uses durable microfiber with strategic reinforcement for stability during crossovers, lateral pushes, and quick stops. Internal padding supports the ankle without feeling bulky, providing precise feedback from the floor.
Heat molding advantages
A gentle oven heat mold allows you to shape the boot to fit your foot. This helps reduce pressure points, improves energy transfer, and increases confidence when you are committing to deep edges. Heat molding also extends comfort over time, especially for skaters who train multiple times per week.
The plate, control, and stability
The black Bont Athena plate is a high-end aluminum plate chosen for power and a predictable feel. Its geometry supports firm edge control while keeping transitions smooth as you shift from toe to heel and back again. The aluminum base enhances stiffness for improved energy return, which you will notice when accelerating out of corners or maintaining speed down the straight. Cushions made in the USA provide a responsive center point that makes micro adjustments natural, so you can fine-tune turn-in and return to center to match your skating style.
The wheels, grip, and speed
Royal Assassin wheels in 59 mm give you a nimble, low profile footprint that loves fast footwork and quick lateral movements. The urethane formula is consistent and durable, so your wheels feel familiar from session to session. Choose the hardness that suits your surface and style.
-
85A, best for slippery floors or when you want more grip and confidence on slidey surfaces.
-
92A, a balanced indoor option for mixed floors, combining roll speed with dependable edge hold.
-
96A, best for tighter floors where you want maximum speed and a firm feel under load.
The 59 mm size is a favorite in derby and indoor training because it accelerates quickly and helps you stay low through corners. It also reduces wheel bite risk on deeper leans, keeping movements clean.
The bearings, roll, and reliability
Bont Pro bearings arrive pre-lubricated for a smooth initial spin. They are designed for low rolling resistance and consistent performance. Good bearings reduce wasted energy, help you maintain speed with fewer strokes, and simplify maintenance.
How the components work together
A supportive heat-moldable boot locks you in. The Athena plate translates your push into forward speed with minimal flex. Low-profile Royal Assassin wheels keep the setup agile and easy to place. Pro bearings tie it together with efficient roll. The result is a skate that feels quick off the line, composed at speed, and stable when you are working close to the edge.
Setup guidance
-
If you are new to 59 mm wheels, expect faster direction changes and a more connected feel on the floor. Start with slightly tighter trucks, then back them off as you adapt.
-
Select wheel hardness by considering your floor first. If you are slipping, go softer. If you are sticking or scrubbing speed, go harder. When in doubt for indoor mixed floors, 92A is a strong starting point.
-
Heat mold before your first full session. A proper mold helps the boot settle to your foot shape, improving comfort right away.
Lock in the limited edition colorway while sizes are available. Choose your wheel hardness, set your trucks, heat mold the boot, and enjoy a fast, controlled ride on any indoor session.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which wheel hardness should I choose for indoor floors?
If your floor is slick or polished, 85A adds grip and confidence. For variable indoor floors, 92A offers a balanced mix of grip and speed. If your floor is tight with high traction and you want maximum roll, go with 96A.
Is the Quadstar boot heat moldable at home?
Yes. Follow the recommended low-temperature oven molding process to fine-tune the heel and forefoot. Heat molding helps reduce pressure points and improves edge control by increasing heel lock.
What makes the Athena plate a good match for 59 mm wheels?
The aluminum plate delivers solid power transfer and a steady center point, which pairs well with the quick acceleration of 59 mm wheels. You get fast turn-in for footwork and stable edging for sustained speed.

We have a reputation for looking after our customers. We do everything possible to ensure that our products are made to the highest standards. As an example, all of our boots go through 16 individual stages of quality control before they are shipped out.
Our inline wheels, roller skate wheels and frames are all tested for strength and fatigue on the computer using the most advances computer-aided stress testing available. Bont bearings are produced in partnership with some of the best speciality bearing manufacturers in the world.
All Bont products go through a rigorous team testing phase before being brought to market. Team Bont skaters are the very best in the world.
When you buy Bont Skates, you get the best skates on the market.
Heat Molding
Bont manufactures the most heat moldable boots available in the market. Improved continuously for over 45 years, Bont proprietary resin is extremely stiff that becomes pliable at relatively low temperatures.
Bont boots are moldable over the entire base, unlike other skates that are moldable only in select locations. Importantly, this provides skaters with the most anatomically designed boot on the market today. Additionally, skaters with Bont boots can fine-tune the fit of the whole boot to get that customized fit.
Head to our Heat Molding page for instructions on how to heat mold your inline skate boots, carbon roller skate boots or your fibgerglass roller skate boots.
Team Testing Quads
Our Bont Quadstar team are some of the best skaters in the World. They love to give us feedback! From the little things like the placement of the buckle to trialing the latest materials, they help Bont create products that not only look good but perform at the elite international level.
Manufacturing
Manufacturing skates by hand, inside out, is a method Bont retains and is exceptionally proud of. The manufacturing process is far more skill-intensive and time-consuming than other manufacturing processes. Perhaps, most importantly, this enables Bont skates to lead the industry in performance. It does, however, result in a higher production cost than mainstream skate construction methods.
We continue to develop and refine our manufacturing process to maintain the best delivery of our high-quality products. For example, processes such as the use of generic vacuum boxes for the curing of carbon have been replaced. Today, for carbon curing, we use methods such as pressure wrapping. Pressure wrapping provides four atmospheres of pressure rather than one atmosphere you find in traditional vacuum forming.
Inze Bont’s, the renowned skate designer, engineering, has allowed our production line to optimize the manufacturing of our handmade monocoque skates in the most time-efficient manner possible.
Our innovative manufacturing processes match our drive for design innovation. Lighter, Stronger, Faster.

Light Weight
At Bont, we pride ourselves at being lighter and stronger than the competition. That is why we manufacture our boots by hand, building the boot from the inside out by hand laying the carbon or fiberglass around the last (plastic foot). This method of manufacturing is extremely time consuming compared to the traditional method of skate boot manufacturing but ensures light weight.
Last Design
What is a Last? The Last is a plastic replica of a foot which the boot is built around.
Here at Bont, we have been perfecting our Lasts since 1975 and the process is ongoing. Unlike the standard Last many companies use, Bont continually focuses on developing and improving our Lasts so that your boots fit right out of the box.
Anatomical Heel Cup
The anatomical heel cup shaping of Bont quad roller skates provides increased stability and more power through your push. This stabilization is achieved without any mechanical operation or over tightening of straps/laces allowing for increased comfort and blood circulation. The heel cup is fully heat moldable to help get the prefect fit.
Anatomical Forefoot Shape
Conventional quad roller skates offer a “dress shoe” type shaping. Although highly aesthetic, this will cause the toes along with the metatarsals to be overly constricted. In turn, this compresses the nerves between the metatarsals, which often results in the common “hot foot” sensation.
Bont’s anatomical shaping allows the foot to function in its most efficient and anatomically correct position. Also, the ability to heat mold any of our boots means you can get the right fit for your foot.
Anti Stretch
Our proprietary Anti-Stretch material shares similar strength characteristics with Kevlar. We add this material between the outer layer and the skin, which assists prevent the boot from stretching.
To ensure the material does not move, we stitch it to the outer layer and bond it to the liner. In short, this Anti-Stretch material becomes a part of the boots’ structure. As a result, Bont boots do not stretch out as much as competitors’ boots.
Liner
We reviewed hundreds of different types of Liners before choosing a suitable product to use in our Bont boots. Bont uses Microfiber, Suede-Like, and Durolite as our liners. Ensuring we are working towards sustainability and animal welfare, Bont is using Vegan-friendly products. In short, our liners are light-weight, durable, fight odor, and do not easily break down with sweat.
Resin Development
Here at Bont, we have been conducting resin development for over 45 years. We formulated a resin that is super stiff, yet moldable at low temperatures. Furthermore, fast cure time is critical for our requirements. Additionally, we are one of the only boot manufacturers who develop their resins in-house.
Our resin softens at just 60°C (140°F), which is the lowest in the industry. As such, you can reheat our resin as many times as required. That is to say; you can heat your boot and easily mold it to your foot. Following the heating, allow your boot to set and cool for your custom mold.
Epoxy or polyepoxide is a thermosetting epoxide polymer that cures when mixed with a catalyzing agent or hardener. We control Polymerization, called curing, through temperature and the choice of resin and hardener compounds. The process can take minutes to hours.
The amount of hardener added to the resin is critically dependent on the temperature of the air and the amount of humidity. For this reason, we have a computer that mixes the resin and hardener. This computer dispenses the resin after measuring the air temperature and humidity.
Most manufacturers use a process known in the industry as pre-preg. A process that involves “pre-impregnating” resin into the carbon fiber.
Pre-preg, in virtually all applications, the carbon fiber manufacturer chooses the resin. Its a one shoe fits all kind of deal. The boot manufacturer has no way of altering the resin customize heat moldability requirements of modern boots. For this reason, many competitors require high temperatures to make their boots heat moldable. Often the boot moldability is limited, even at these high temperatures.
