Wheels

Skateboard wheels are essential components that affect how a skateboard rides, turns, and handles different surfaces. Made primarily from polyurethane, these wheels come in various sizes, hardness levels (durometers), and shapes to suit different skating styles—street, park, vert, or cruising.

Key Features of Skateboard Wheels

• Material: Most wheels are made from high-quality polyurethane for durability and grip.

• Size (Diameter): Typically ranges from 50mm to 75mm. Smaller wheels (50–54mm) are ideal for tricks and technical street skating, while larger wheels (55mm and up) are better for speed, cruising, and rough terrain.

• Hardness (Durometer): Measured on the A or B scale. Hard wheels (95A–101A) are best for skateparks and street tricks. Softer wheels (78A–87A) offer a smoother ride on rough surfaces or for cruising.

• Shape & Profile: Affects grip, speed, and sliding ability. Narrow profiles are more agile; wider wheels offer more stability.

Benefits of Choosing the Right Skateboard Wheels

• Enhanced Performance: The right wheels improve control, speed, and smoothness depending on terrain and skating style.

• Customizable Ride: Mix and match wheel characteristics to tailor your skateboard setup.

• Versatile Options: From smooth cruiser wheels to hard street wheels, there’s a wheel for every skater’s needs.

Popular Use Cases

• Street Skating: Smaller, harder wheels for tricks and fast pop.

• Park & Vert Skating: Medium-sized wheels with hard durometer for speed and control on smooth surfaces.

• Cruising & Longboarding: Large, soft wheels for a quiet, smooth ride over cracks and bumps.
