K2 Moto 90 men's inline skates aren't meant for beginners: These skates have 90mm wheels, and experts say they're speedy, comfortable and well-balanced -- great for experienced skaters, but probably too fast for beginners. According to reviewers, the K2 has shock absorption and an on-the-fly lacing system that's easy to tighten (but harder to loosen). The women's version of this skate, the K2 T:Nine Celena (*est. $200) comes in white and pink or black. If you're looking for a beginner's inline skate, you may want to consider the well-reviewed Rollerblade Wing 50 (*est. $130) for women or the Rollerblade Astro 50 (*est. $130) for men.
K2 Moto 90 inline skates receive a thorough write-up at InlinePlanet.com. This skate is also featured in a brief Wall Street Journal review.

This in-depth review concludes that the K2 T:Nine Celena (which is identical to the K2 Moto 90, except for the color and sizing) is "great for cruising and touring". The writer also appreciates the shock absorption, saying that they are great long-distance skates.
Review: K2 Celena Women's Fitness Skate, Editors of Inline Planet, Sept. 27, 2007
A handful of inline skates are highlighted. While they seem to have been tested in a casual way, the writer doesn't elaborate. The K2 Moto 90 is said to glide smoothly but is on the heavy side, which makes some maneuvers more difficult.
