A lightweight carbon rockered frame with a 219mm wheelbase and 4x72mm setup, designed for precise freestyle slalom and technical skating.

Description

The FR Carbon 4x72 Rockered is a specialized carbon frame designed for freestyle slalom and technical urban skating.

Its 4x72mm setup uses a built-in rocker, with the frame geometry creating the rockered effect when four wheels of the same diameter are installed. This gives the skater a highly maneuverable setup without having to use different wheel sizes to create the rocker.

The 219mm wheelbase keeps the frame compact, which is particularly important in freestyle slalom. A shorter frame reduces the distance between the front and rear wheels, making the skate easier to rotate and maneuver around cones. It is a setup focused on quick transitions, tight turns, edge changes, and precise footwork rather than straight-line stability.

The rockered configuration further increases the freedom of movement under the foot. Compared with a flat 4-wheel setup, the contact area with the ground is reduced, allowing the skater to initiate turns and transitions with less restriction. This is especially useful for slalom movements where rapid changes of direction and controlled edge-to-edge transitions are essential.

The carbon construction adds stiffness while keeping the frame lighter than a conventional aluminum frame. FR Skates states that its Carbon frames are approximately 25% lighter than standard aluminum frames and are designed to provide greater stiffness, speed, stability, and performance. For freestyle skating, the reduced frame weight can make repeated transitions and technical movements feel less demanding, while the rigid structure provides a direct connection between the boot and wheels.

The 165mm mounting standard makes the frame compatible with a wide range of freestyle and urban boots using this mounting configuration. Its multiple mounting holes also provide adjustment options for positioning the frame under the boot, allowing experienced skaters to fine-tune their setup according to their preferred balance and skating technique.

The FR Carbon 4x72 Rockered is therefore not simply a lightweight frame. Its combination of a short 219mm wheelbase, 4x72mm setup, integrated rocker, carbon construction, and 165mm mounting is specifically suited to skaters who want a highly responsive platform for freestyle slalom, technical movements, and precise urban skating.
