It is suited to roller derby, indoor rink skating, and other quad skating where clean edges and predictable turns matter. A plate is more than the connection between boot and wheels: its height, kingpin geometry, cushions, and adjustment points all influence how the skate feels when you lean, accelerate, or change direction. Athena brings those details together in a straightforward, adjustable design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether you are building a new pair of skates or replacing an existing plate, the goal is the same: choose a setup that responds to your movement without making you fight it. Athena gives you a low-profile chassis, 20-degree kingpin geometry, and hardware that can be tuned to your preference. It is built for skaters who want to make purposeful setup choices instead of accepting a single fixed feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLow profile, close connection\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chassis is made from extruded 6061 aluminum and manufactured to tight tolerances. Its low profile positions the wheels closer to the boot than on many other plates. That lower stance reduces the height of your center of gravity and helps you feel connected to the skating surface. In practice, this can make it easier to commit to an edge, move through a turn, and recover into the next stride.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat close-to-the-floor feeling is especially useful when your skating includes repeated changes of direction. Derby demands fast reactions and consistent edge control. Rink skating benefits from a plate that feels composed through flowing turns. The Athena is designed to serve both, with a chassis that supports precise movement while keeping the skate's overall feel familiar to anyone who likes a classic quad plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cfigure style=\"margin: 28px auto; max-width: 720px; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n  \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0048\/6242\/files\/athena-roller-skate-plates-6913112572017.jpg?v=1712055153\" alt=\"Silver Athena roller skate plate viewed at an angle, showing its low-profile aluminum chassis and ToeGo toe stop\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display: block; width: 100%; height: auto;\"\u003e\n  \u003cfigcaption style=\"font-size: 0.9em; color: #555; margin-top: 8px;\"\u003eThe low-profile chassis keeps the boot close to the wheels.\u003c\/figcaption\u003e\n\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e20-degree action for responsive turns\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAthena uses a 20-degree kingpin angle. This geometry is intended to give the plate a responsive feel for tight turns while still supporting speed through the straightaways. For a skater, that means the plate can respond when you lean into a change of direction without feeling limited to only one kind of movement. The 20-degree action is one reason Athena works across derby and general indoor skating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow a plate turns is also influenced by the rest of the setup: your boots, wheels, cushions, and truck adjustment all contribute. Athena gives you room to tune those parts around your own technique. If you prefer a firmer, more restrained response, you can set the plate accordingly. If you want more movement underfoot, you can adjust for a looser feel. The variable adjustment nut and grub screw provide that control without changing the plate itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCushions and pivot cups that support the setup\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDelrin pivot cups provide a defined contact point for the trucks. Athena also uses high-rebound urethane cushions made in the USA. Cushions are a meaningful part of plate tuning because their hardness changes how readily the trucks respond when you shift weight. The standard black cushions are 88A, a medium option in Bont's range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOther available cushion hardnesses are purple 78A (super soft), blue 83A (soft), and red 93A (hard). A softer cushion can make the trucks feel more willing to move, while a firmer cushion can make the response feel more restrained. The choice depends on your preference and the rest of your skate setup. If you want to experiment, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/bont.com\/products\/replacement-roller-skate-cushions-bushings\"\u003ereplacement roller skate cushions\u003c\/a\u003e are available separately.

Steel kingpins, 8 mm chrome-moly axles, and Delrin pivot cups complete the main construction details. These are practical choices for a skate plate expected to handle repeated loading, adjustment, and use. Athena is designed to work as a single unit, with each contact point contributing to the feel of the skate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe plate uses 8 mm bearings only. Check your chosen wheels and bearings against that axle size before completing a build. Mounting hardware is not included and must be purchased separately. Those details matter because a plate can only perform as intended when the other parts of the skate fit and are installed correctly. If you are unsure about the best plate length or mounting position for your boot, use the Athena plate size guide on this page and seek mounting advice before drilling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cfigure style=\"margin: 28px auto; max-width: 720px; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n  \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0048\/6242\/files\/athena-roller-skate-plates-6722173436017.jpg?v=1712054614\" alt=\"Top-down view of the silver Athena plate showing its trucks, axles, pivot area, and toe stop\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display: block; width: 100%; height: auto;\"\u003e\n  \u003cfigcaption style=\"font-size: 0.9em; color: #555; margin-top: 8px;\"\u003eA top-down view of the truck and axle layout.\u003c\/figcaption\u003e\n\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eToe stops included, with room to fine-tune\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach Athena plate comes with Bont \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/bont.com\/products\/toego-roller-skate-toe-stops\"\u003eToeGo roller skate toe stops\u003c\/a\u003e at no additional charge.

The Zeus Carbon applies that experience to a roller skate plate, using carbon fiber for the plate body rather than simply adding a carbon-look finish. It was Bont's first roller skate plate with an all-carbon body, bringing the material's low weight and strength to this part of the skate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe distinction between the body and the complete assembly matters. The plate body is carbon fiber, while the assembly also includes trucks, axles, cushions, and metal kingpins. You get a carbon structural platform with the working components needed for a speed-skating setup, rather than an assembly in which every individual part is carbon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCurved construction with a familiar profile\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body is deliberately curved to take advantage of carbon fiber's strength in a shaped structure. That profile creates a rigid platform while retaining the recognizable lines of a classic roller speed plate. The material and shape work together; the carbon is not simply a flat substitute for aluminum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design keeps a retro feel, so the result looks at home beneath a traditional speed boot. For skaters moving from an aluminum speed plate, that familiar silhouette is part of the appeal. The emphasis is on a lighter carbon structure, not an unnecessarily complicated appearance or a different skating discipline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNanocell epoxy resin\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe carbon body uses Nanocell epoxy resin. This nanotech resin helps lighten the plate and improve its impact resistance. Resin is part of the carbon composite structure, so it contributes to the finished body rather than serving only as a surface treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThose material benefits should be understood alongside the plate's intended use. Zeus Carbon NTS remains a speed-skating-only design. Its construction is not a reason to use it for jumps or tricks, and the same restriction applies whether you choose matte or gloss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePurpose-built action and adjustable feel\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e7-degree production geometry\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe production plate uses 7-degree action.

The early presentation video shows prototype 20-degree trucks, which are not the production specification for this product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoosing a plate is about more than its appearance. Action geometry, cushion hardness, and mounting position all belong in the setup discussion.

A familiar number on another manufacturer's plate is not a substitute for checking the measurement. Taking time to verify the fit before mounting helps you make a more informed choice and avoids treating plate length as an aesthetic decision. If you need advice, have your boot model, boot size, and current plate details ready when contacting Bont.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor installation, use the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0048\/6242\/files\/Zeus_Manual_SPREADS.pdf?v=1640838436\"\u003eZeus assembly and mounting instructions\u003c\/a\u003e.

We designed the plate with smooth, elegant lines that will last the test of time. The chassis is crafted from extruded 6061 aircraft aluminum. The plate is made to extremely tight tolerances and has a low profile which means that the wheels are closer to the boot than most other plates. This lowers your center of gravity and improves edging. The 20-degree kingpin angle is great for making tight turns as well as top-end speed. A variable adjustment nut and grub screw allow you to skate your plate tight or loose to suit your style. The plate features Delrin pivot cups and premium ultra-high rebounding urethane cushions that are made in the USA. This plate can be used for all types of roller skating such as indoor skating, rink skating, and of course roller derby.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan face=\"arial, helvetica, sans-serif\" style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003eThe Athena roller skate plate comes packed with the famous Bont \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/bont.com\/products\/toego-roller-skate-toe-stops\" title=\"Bont ToeGo Roller Skate Toe Stops\"\u003eToeGo\u003c\/a\u003e toe stop at no additional charge. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan face=\"arial, helvetica, sans-serif\" style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003eOur Athena plate has proven itself on the toughest skaters in the world: the Bont Quadstar team.
