The Zenit Rocket V5 is designed for steep downhill runs, they're stiff, solid, good wheel clearance and they hold up at whatever speed you're taking them down the hill. Zenit added an extra ply, as well as an 'X' of carbon fibre on top of the board, which means there's more clearance in the wheel wells, allowing you to have a larger wheel on your board with less chance of wheel bite. The carbon fibre also makes the Rocket a little bit stiffer so that it can handle vibrations a little better. There's a huge concave in the longboard deck, you lock your feet in real well on the flare construction that Zenit have on the front and back of each board. You probably won't need to move your foot around on it to set up for slides if you're going toe side to heel side. Deck Specifications: Length: 33.5" / 85 cm Width: 9.75" / 24.75 cm Wheelbase: 21 - 23.3" / 53.25 - 59 cm Weight (Board Only): 5 lbs / 2.25 kg Stiffness: 10/10 Straight To The Stratosphere Locked into the board’s acute wheel flares, you’ll be in full command of your course throughout the whole journey. The extra room for your foot over the front truck facilitates the weight transfer for slide initiation, and more wheelbase options have been added so you have nothing but the most precise control upon entry to your favourite hairpin. Both old-school and new-school trucks are compatible.With a new shape and deeper wheel wells than the V4, the V5 is compatible with even bigger wheels, which means you can attain higher speeds. No need to look up to see a Rocket blast off; this one goes under your feet and is rider-approved to break Earth’s gravitational pull. Quality over Quantity A cosmic craft precisely engineered for high-speed navigation. Seven plies of Hard Rock Canadian Maple are laminated by a bio-sourced Greenpoxy resin between two sheets of ultra-resistant pre-tensioned triaxial fibreglass. This is further reinforced by both a strip and a cross ofunidirectional fibreglass, this craft is entirely torsion-resistant. Zenit Rocket VS Zenit Mini Rocket Well, both longboards are the same length and have the same wheelbase (21 - 23.3"). The only difference is the Mini Rocket is 8.7" wide and the Rocket is 9.75". They're both just as fun.
