The Kizer Edge 80 NT Frames are instant classic urban freeskating frames developed by Nicola Torelli. They mount UFS to ride a 4x80mm flat setup. They are high-quality premium frames with smooth curves and shiny aluminum.
Kizer Edge 80 NT Frames are made of extruded and CNC-machined 6061 Aircraft Aluminum to be durable and promote efficient energy transfer. They have UFS mounting which allows you to take any aggressive skate and turn it into an urban skate. The flat setup gives stability that allows you to use your edges more to carve. They do not have a rocker, leaving that for you to do naturally as you wear down wheels with skate time. The idea being that you will use your edges more rather than pivoting on a rocker, which helps to develop better control and technique. o you do so naturally as you use the frame. You can choose to rocker naturally if you'd like in wheel sizes. Included are one-piece 8mm AL axles and spacers included, but no frame mounting bolts (Kizer Superbolts would make a good choice if not already having some).
