Wheel Profile

You may notice a discrepancy between what we designate a wide, standard or narrow and what the brands do. This classification is our opinion based on years of skating, as well as looking at the profile of the wheel as it compares to what we believe is a standard profile. You just have to trust us on this.

Wide - Wide wheels provide more traction and stability at high speed, so you'll be less likely to slip out of your line.

Surface

Smooth - Smooth wheels have less surface friction than treaded wheels and are easier to slide.

Durometer

90a - A versatile wheel best used for rougher terrain like craggy streets, ditches or pools or even masonite and metal ramps. Hard enough that sliding is still doable while soft enough for a smooth roll and plenty of grip. Great for beginning park riders until they gain the control needed for harder durometers.

Most urethane skate wheels generally range from 75a-101a, the numbers increase with the hardness of the wheel.

Powell Peralta Oval Dragon Skateboard Wheels

Most wheels around 90/92A are usually a bit slow, on the street these are the exact opposite! I tested them against Spitfire SoftD 92A's, Spitfire 80HD's and OJ Keyframe 87A's. Even though they're a bit harder than two of those these were quieter, faster and slid easier than the other three. I was pleasantly surprised by how fast they were since these didn't have a harder plastic core. I matched them with some Bones Swiss Ceramics and Aera precision spacers and they roll free and fast! These are a great option for those who want a modern wheel shape but don't want to skate around on teeth-chattering hard wheels or extremely soft and bouncy cruiser wheels. The one and only small negative is the graphic paint starts to flake off almost immediately and is a bit messy for a short time until most of it falls off. I wish they'd go more minimalist with the wheel art. I hope they keep this formula around a long time!
