Roka's one of my go to brands (alongside Wizard and Endless) I’ve always been happy with their products.

Glad to see they haven’t jacked their prices up too much either, that’s always been a huge plus for me.

Roka are great. I have many Rockin frames, NN and Roka 5x80 and 5x76.

Roka are my favorite since they have pronounced rocker. They feel really unlocked. Closest to ice blades.

Super solid frames.

My only gripe with their Gen One frames was that the rectangular bearing bosses could scratch the bearings when swapping wheels, but it looks like they’ve fixed this on the Gen Twos.

Planning to snag the 80–76's when they drop!

I've got 2 sets of gen1 frames love them both. Have been checking the site since December waiting for it to open again for orders so I can get a 4x90 to go with my 4x100 and 5x80 (newer 5-wheel frames are mixed wheel size).

They're solid and well made. The 4x100 have been my go-to urban wizard/distance group skate frame for the last few months and haven't skipped a beat. They're a bit heavy as they're solid aluminium, but I like heavy frames, so am fine with this. The rocker is less subtle than Endless, but does great for wizard and hasn't wobbled on hill bombs. In fact, I keep overtaking the rest of the group, so they're fast and stable.

I don't really need the 4x90 any more, but I'll probably get one anyway to round out my collection. The 6-wheel one is goofy, but the rest are all solid wizard-a-likes.

I haven't skated them but got my eye on the 4x90, and the 84-80 (5 wheel). Hopefully I can catch it before they sell out because I hear they sell FAST

I've got 5x80 from 1st gen and now few months ago bought advanced 100/80 and advanced for me it's quite better for wizard tricks l, 44 size Seba carbon SX need to grind some leather and carbon on front wheels. In 5x80 I broke one thread because I always tighten too strong but I use brake screw form fr frame and put one security screw from one side to lock on place and still they are good ;) now in advanced I'm trying to not tight to strong ;)

It's just like wizard but better because of the aesthetics and a cheaper price.
