Braces are used in some skates to strengthen the overall plate. Typically older style plates use a brace due to the plate and hanger combo. We have factory replacement braces for all our skates that require them. If your skate requires a brace we recommend using one as the specific geometry of the skate was designed to have one. Not using one can and will cause the skate to fail.
Century braces are used in the Century, Century NTS plate and any other applicable plates that require them.
XK4 brace is used on the XK4 plate 45 degree and may not be twisted or have holes depending on the brace size.
Invader braces are also used on Cyclone and Cyclone NTS plates.
