Buying Guide: Pursuit Rollerskis
Thu, May 20, 2010 - By Mike Muha
Minnesota-based Pursuit Rollerskis are manufactured in the US. The shafts are custom extruded in Pennsylvania, then shipped to Minnesota for machining. Pursuit shafts come in two different alloys for different price/weight characteristics. Some shafts feature drilled out holes for lightness.
Pursuit currently makes six models of skating rollerskis. Wheels range from 100mm to 105mm in diameter, and five different speeds are offered. All rollerskis wheels use 608 2-RS bearings.
RollerSkiShop.com is the only retailer of Pursuit rollerskis. The shop also sells replacement wheels and bearings for Pursuit and other brands of rollerskis.
