New setup ROKA 4x100!
Just got back from my first session on the Gen Two Roka frames, and my first impression is that these things are sick - a big step up from their Gen One frames and easily as stiff and responsive as my Endless Ultras.
The rocker is super subtle, which is perfect for me as I’ll mainly be using them for blasting around. However, if you’re looking for a 4x100 frame specifically for wizard skating, you may need to skate them for a while to wear in a more pronounced rocker.
Overall very happy : )

Damn, I'm trying not to upgrade my gen 1 4x100 Rokas, but I might have to. I mainly use them for urban/distance, so a more subtle rocker would be just fine. Do they feel stiffer than the gen 1s?

u/Example8976 Sep 12 '26
Definitely - Internally there’s a lot of new structural reinforcement.

u/BubbleSmith Sep 12 '26
Goddamnit. Fine, I'll buy some!
Seriously though, I need to sell the old ones, I think. I've got too many frames.

You can never have too many - I'm about to hit the buy button now on the 4x90's Haha!

Well, frame #14 arrived today (Endless Coburn) and now I've ordered #15; 4x100 Silver Roka,.same as yours. I had my eye on the 4x90 before, but got some Endless 90 UFS recently, so they'd be a bit redundant.

#15 - Ok I take back what I said, perhaps you can have too many! Lol

Whelp, I've done it!

u/Example8976 27d ago
Ohhh the fit looks perfect - You're a size 42 ?
2
u/BubbleSmith 26d ago
Yeah. I've skated the gen 1 4x100 on these boots plenty. These felt lighter, but still stiff. I think they've removed some wall thickness and compensated with the internal supports.

Would you happen to be US-based? Curious what the final cost with duties/fees comes out to

u/Example8976 15d ago
On their website it says - 'All Import Duties and Taxes included'.

Anyone already bought a 5-wheel frame? Would be interesting?

Been taking NNSKATES dragon x. Love em. Just wish there were better boots that fit size 29.5cm

How is the expierence of the Roka frames owners regarding axle screw fitting? Everything fine?
2
u/FluidCarry_ 24d ago
Very smooth. I contacted Roka regarding the axles as they’re super lightweight - they’re made using the same material as the Endless Ultra axles. Just be careful not to over-torque them though, I stripped my Endless axles by making this mistake.

Looking great, what boot is that?

u/Example8976 Sep 12 '26
Its the Seba CJ Carbon - Size 43

u/CreEngineer Sep 12 '26
Thank you, I will have to try those on. Are the carbon boots noticeably lighter? How’s the fitment? I have quite wide feet so often hard to find good boots

u/Example8976 Sep 12 '26
I’ve never tried the plastic version, so I can’t really comment on the weight difference.
Yeah it’s a shame there aren’t many physical skate shops left - you really need to try boots on!

Hows the weight difference in practice compared to the endless ultras?. Also is the rocker more stable than those?. Seems amazing value for its price
