Specs/Made in Italy on interior. 1994The ABT (Active Brake Technology) braking system was one of many innovations that can be attributed to the inline skate leader, Rollerblade©, Inc. These brakes were originally patented by the company in 1994, and the design was intended as a tool to assist those new inline skaters who had not developed sufficient stopping skills. Unlike other braking systems on recreational and fitness skates that require a skater to raise the toe end of the skate to engage the rear brake pad, the ABT system allowed all four wheels of the braking skate to remain on the ground during the stopping process to provide more stability, greater speed control and better balance. This concept won the product of the year award for the company.How Do ABT Brakes Work?The ABT brakes were designed with the cuff of the boot connected to a pressure sensitive braking arm. The long fiberglass arm of the brake running up the back of the skates was attached to a screw that could adjust the brake height by turning the screw. If pressure was applied to the cuff by sliding the braking skate forward in a simple scissors motion—or any movement that involved tilting or leaning back so the skater's calf pressed on the skate boot—the arm was pushed and made contact between the brake and the ground, starting the ABT braking process. ABT brake systems were easy to use for beginner skaters.
