At 50–60 km\/h on a steep descent, the margin for error is measured in milliseconds. The gear that's adequate for urban commuting is not the gear that keeps you safe and in control at speed. The Downhill \u0026amp; Speed Kit is built for experienced riders who understand the risks, have developed the skills, and want the equipment that matches their ambitions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDownhill electric skateboarding has developed a dedicated community in cities with significant elevation — San Francisco's Twin Peaks, the hills of Medellín in Colombia, the mountain roads above Lausanne in Switzerland. These riders have pushed the limits of what electric skateboards can do and developed a clear consensus on what gear is required to do it safely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Downhill \u0026amp; Speed Kit\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull-face helmet\u003c\/strong\u003e: At speeds above 40 km\/h, a full-face helmet is strongly recommended — chin and face protection matters in high-speed falls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSlide gloves\u003c\/strong\u003e: Essential for controlled speed checks and emergency slides on steep descents\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHard-shell knee and elbow pads\u003c\/strong\u003e: Maximum impact protection for high-speed falls on pavement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-speed stability trucks\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stiff, precision trucks that eliminate speed wobble at 50+ km\/h\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHard bushings\u003c\/strong\u003e: 93A+ for maximum stability at speed; prevents the speed wobble that causes high-speed crashes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLarge-diameter wheels\u003c\/strong\u003e: 100–107mm wheels for smooth rolling at speed and better obstacle clearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eStart with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/volt-rove-mips-helmets\"\u003eMIPS helmets\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/volt-rove-slide-gloves\"\u003eslide gloves\u003c\/a\u003e for essential protection, then build your speed setup with \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/volt-rove-trucks\"\u003eprecision trucks\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/volt-rove-bushings\"\u003ehard bushings\u003c\/a\u003e from our Tuning \u0026amp; Upgrades collection.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/omnirove.com\/collections\/volt-rove-downhill-speed.oembed","provider":"OmniRove","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
