    Rollerski fork flex

    Reinventing Rollerski Flex!

    • Fork Flex™ is a proprietary design by Clayton Keim of RollerskiShop.com & Pursuit Rollerskis utilizing spring steel
    • Majority of flex comes from the forks creating a flatter flex versus concave flex of composite frames
    • Smoother ride and snappy feeling with no pivot points to rattle or wear out
    • Aluminum frames provide more durability than composites if you bottom out
    • 10 mm of drop making top of frame to ground a low 50 mm and clearance 30 mm
    • Total weight per pair only 1,688 grams for 620 mm wheelbase
    • Weight distribution simulates the feel of a long snow ski more closely
    • 100 mm wheels and fenders standard
    • 210 lb (95 kg) weight limit
    • Longer 670 mm wheelbase, 105 mm wheels, and pull brake optional
    • Typical flex for 170 lb skier is 4 mm weighted and up to 10 mm bouncing
