Frame - Neo Transformer

Provides the foundational 4 wheel set up for small wheel beginnings and the 3 wheel configuration for built-in age and skill level upgrade!

Even experienced and strong pro athletes try to save weight in their equipment. For smaller and younger skaters, the weight influences the skating technique even more. A three wheel set-up with 100mm wheels saves you 10% weight compared to a four wheel set-up with 90mm wheels. Imagine saving 10% of the energy you put into moving your legs!

Manoeuvrability

A three wheel skate moves easier than a four wheel skate. Basically, a young, small and/or inexperienced skater learns skating quicker on a three wheel setup because moving light-footed, all focus can be on technique. A 4 wheels skate is heavier to pick up off the ground, and they tend to ‘stick down’ on the ground for longer with each push, making a ‘fast feet’ acceleration difficult. On the other hand a four wheel skate provides more grip and stability and therefore more power transition. Kids grow fast. They can start with a three wheel setup and switch to a four wheel setup the year after. Growing up, having learned the right techniques and looking for more top speed, a four wheel setup comes into play.

Speed

A three wheel skate moves faster on shorter distances. Less weight means more leg speed. A four wheel skate provides more grip and stability, which is better for the longer distances. The unique Neo Transformer chassis offers you to choose, within a minute, the perfect setup for a specific race.

Your optimum

Choosing the right setup is always a personal thing. Besides choosing the number of wheels you can also change the wheel diameter. So many choices, you just need to experiment. And it's exactly this that makes the Neo Transformer the perfect frame for younger skaters that keep changing physically and technically.
