V and V.m Rocker

Our philosopy has always been to create products we would want to skate ourselves first, then to share what we liked with others in the community to enjoy. Since our launch, we have been listening to feedback from both the community and our own ambassadors in an effort to help improve our products and grow as a company. We’ve been extensively testing a modification to the frames, and the results were so positive that we’ve decided to add it as an option.

The “V.m” Rocker is a modification of the original “V” Rocker, designed to improve maneuverability while still retaining most of the stability of the original “V” Rocker.

To accomplish this in the 5-Wheel frame, the 2nd and 4th wheels are lowered slightly to provide extra points of contact:

In the 4-Wheel frames, this was accomplished by slightly lowering the 2nd wheel to provide an extra point of contact. The rocker is still asymmetric:

Both “V” and “V.m” frames are considered “small-rockered” frames, so with either choice you will still turn better than a “flat” setup, and feel much more stable going fast and down hills than a traditional 2mm “banana rockered” setup.

The difference between the two rockers is subtle, and some skaters won’t even notice the difference. But for some skaters, this gain in maneuverability will give them a slight edge when attempting more complex transitions and chaining together longer combinations.

Both rocker versions are available in the store now: https://nnskates.com/shop/
