A lightweight carbon rockered frame combining 4x76mm wheels, a compact 231mm wheelbase and 165mm mounting for precise freestyle slalom and technical skating.

Description

The FR Carbon 4x76 Rockered is built for skaters who want a precise, lightweight setup for freestyle slalom and technical urban skating.

Its 4x76mm configuration and 231mm frame length create a compact platform that favors quick movements and controlled transitions. For freestyle slalom, where rapid edge changes, turns and precise footwork are essential, a compact frame can make the skate feel more responsive and easier to maneuver around cones.

The rockered setup is a key part of its character. It gives the four-wheel configuration a more maneuverable feel than a traditional flat frame, allowing the skater to initiate turns and change edges with less restriction. This makes it particularly well suited to technical skating where freedom of movement matters more than maximum straight-line stability.

The 231mm length also provides a useful balance between maneuverability and support. It is compact enough for technical movements while still providing a four-wheel platform with predictable control under the foot.

Carbon construction brings another important advantage: FR states that its carbon frames are, on average, 25% lighter than traditional aluminium frames while providing excellent stiffness. The lower frame weight can make the setup feel more agile during repeated movements, while the stiffness contributes to efficient power transfer and a direct skating response.

The 165mm mounting standard makes the frame compatible with boots using this mounting configuration. As with any freestyle setup, the final feel will also depend on the boot, wheel hardness, rocker geometry and the skater's technique.

For freestyle slalom skaters, the result is a combination of low weight, stiffness, a compact wheelbase and a rockered four-wheel configuration — characteristics that favor precision, control and fast technical movements.
