Recreational Frames: These frames are designed for beginners and intermediate skaters. They are generally made of plastic or aluminum and provide good stability and control.

Fitness Frames: These frames are designed for fitness-oriented skaters. They are lightweight and provide good speed and maneuverability.

Urban Frames: These frames are designed for city skating and freestyle tricks. They are durable and able to withstand the wear and tear of urban environments.

Aggressive Frames: These frames are designed for aggressive skating, such as grinding and sliding. They are sturdy and have grinding areas on the sides.

Freestyle Frames: These frames are designed for freestyle skating, such as jumps and spins. They have a shorter wheelbase and allow for quick movements.

Slalom Frames: These frames are designed for slalom skating, such as weaving in and out of cones. They are typically short and allow for tight turns.

Powerblade Frames: These frames are designed for long-distance skating and provide good speed and stability. They have larger wheels and a longer wheelbase.

Nordic Frames: These frames are designed for off-road skating, such as skating on gravel or dirt paths. They have large wheels and a ground clearance that allows skaters to navigate over obstacles.
