Hi my name is James  and I going to get my 1st pair of skates so I was wondering what's better Razor Genesys or K2 125 cc. I like the Razors a lot better but I don't know witch is better. Please send me a response very soon before April 4th.


Here is what I think. The k2 125 is a very lightweight and comfortable skate that can be used well for aggressive as well as hockey and basic recreational skating around. I think that is a great all around skate that will definately benefit you.

Now the razor genesys has more newer technology for grinding but lacks both the comfort and lightweightness of the k2 125. In addition, the genesys has fully replaceable parts as well so that would give you the ability to modify.

Bottom Line:
If you dont care about replaceability and any particular technical features, the 125 would be best because its lightweight and comfortable and gives you lots of entry level benefits that the 125 offers. 

If you care about future replaceability and potential new technological benefits then Id go genesys.
