The Roces 5th Element skate is a revolutionary model designed for aggressive skating. It has gained significant popularity in recent years due to its response to the demands of the aggressive skating community. The skate features several notable improvements:
Soulplate: The original version had a one-piece soulframe, which combined the frame and soulplate. The new version features a two-piece Roces soleplate known for its durability and ample grind surface.
Shell Construction: The shell is made of two different PU materials. The lower part is stiff, providing stability and support, while the upper part is softer, ensuring a comfortable fit without causing pressure points. This combination offers flexibility.
Liner: The Roces Comfort Liner is equipped with a Memory Foam and Dual shock absorber for optimal comfort and support. Heel padding secures the foot, and neoprene toes help adjust the liner length to the shell.
Frames: The skate comes with Roces frames that are versatile and well-designed. They have a convex shape for faster grinds, additional bridges between wheels for stiffness, and a versatile groove for both flat and anti-rocker setups. The hardware is secure, and the symmetrical design prolongs the frame’s life.
Anti-Rocker Setting: The Roces 5th Element includes an anti-rocker setting with large outer wheels measuring 60 mm and grind wheels of 42 mm, making it suitable for street skating and facilitating grinds.
Overall, the Roces 5th Element skate has been technically improved in various aspects, making it a top choice for aggressive skaters in the modern scene.
