IQ shaping is the cutting edge of Chasse design. Mathematics and engineering combined to create Luigino’s most responsive chasse ever. First ever frame with multiple dimensions and precise geometry from front to back- top to bottom. We have created a chasse with the highest tensile strength for inline speed skating ever. Those who want to copy the IQ Fighter… get out your measuring tools, pour a cup of coffee and have a seat. You’re about to experience a new generation of frame design. Study it to the nth degree and still you won’t find every trick we put into this piece of equipment. Some of the most valuable ingredients to the Fighter Pilot cannot be measured with an eye or a machine. The recipe includes 15 years of inline frame design and manufacturing experience.
It is common knowledge that solid block alloy doesn’t have the energy or return of extruded alloy. Extruding alloy is similar to pushing cake frosting through a specific shape creating that perfect look, similar to creating a specific shape (extrusion) for an inline racing frame. The shapes can be intricate or simple, depending on the engineering and design. Extremely hard alloys cannot be extruded with intricate details such as multiple voids or even single voids depending on how hard the alloy is.
▪ 7050 used in Luigino Fighter Pilot cannot be extruded with voids (hollow areas). In order to reap benefits of 7050 alloy we extruded the bottom half, keeping the top half solid and removing the necessary materials by CNC. This unique procedure allows for energy return and extraordinary rigidity.
▪ 7100 series alloy such as what is used in our Pilot frame can be extruded as double void as long as the voids are not to intricate. Luigino utilized large voids without any complexity then incorporated Hollow-Technology to increase strength and reduce weight of the overall product.
▪ 6000 series alloy can be extruded in nearly any shape you desire. Creating elaborate frames is attractive however, should not be used for high-performance inline frames. 6000 alloy is best for kids and products used for general purposes.
1992 Years ahead of the competition, Ultimate frames redefined the way the world looks at high performance inline skate frames – material relatively unknown to skating –7000 T6 extruded aluminum with full color sublimated graphics. 2006 Performance gets a new name when Luigino launches the Pilot, the inline frame built to help Joey Mantia continue his domination at the world championships. Hollow-Tec, pushing the envelope of rigidity, control, and performance. 2009 Luigino changes the rules again with a new benchmark for total performance, FIGHER PILOT, compared to it, everything else is history. Hybrid -Solid Extrusion Technology. The life of an extruded frame, the rigidity of a solid frame.
Fighter Pilot delivers speed, power, and confidence.
Return energy. That’s what you want from your chasse. No need to think. Just pick a distance and go. Say hello to the Fighter-IQ Chasse, the most responsive inline chasse ever created. Using the coolest, latest technology found in Formula 1 race cars, the brightest minds at Luigino Racing have created a Chasse with one result in mind: speed with confidence. The refined chasse shape has a sleek look and raises the inertia for unprecedented speeds and control. Improve your sprint and increase your endurance with IQ Chasse Technology. The exclusive 7050 alloy adds to the incredible feel and performance. So pick your distance, bolt on a Fighter Pilot, and get ready to enjoy speeds like never before. 13.3 4x110
