FAQ
Wheels are typically made of polyurethane. This material offers durability and a smooth ride. When choosing wheels, consider the durometer rating, which indicates hardness. Softer wheels provide better grip, while harder ones are faster.
Wheels range from 50mm to 75mm in diameter. Smaller wheels (50-54mm) are ideal for tricks, while larger ones (60-75mm) suit cruising. Consider your style and terrain when selecting size.
Wheels have a durometer rating between 78A and 101A. Lower numbers mean softer wheels, great for rough surfaces. Higher ratings indicate harder wheels, perfect for smooth surfaces and tricks.
Wheels come in various shapes to suit different skating styles. Conical shapes offer more grip, while radial shapes provide speed. Choosing a shape depends on whether you prioritize stability or speed.
Wheels are designed for specific terrains. Soft wheels work well on rough surfaces like streets, while hard wheels excel on smooth skatepark floors. Choose based on where you'll skate most often.
Bigger wheels can be beneficial for beginners because they offer stability and smoother rides over cracks and bumps. However, they might not be ideal for performing tricks due to their weight and size.
Wheels: 3 things to consider before buying
Wheel size can significantly impact your skateboarding experience. Smaller wheels, typically ranging from 50-54mm, are great for technical tricks and street skating as they offer more control and a lower center of gravity. Larger wheels, around 55-60mm or more, provide faster speeds and are ideal for cruising or vert skating. Think about where you'll be skating most often to make the right choice.
The durometer rating tells you how hard or soft the wheels are, which affects grip and ride smoothness. Softer wheels (78A-87A) absorb shock better and offer more grip, making them perfect for rough surfaces or cruising. Harder wheels (88A-101A) are less forgiving on bumps but provide speed and are preferred by those doing tricks on smooth surfaces. Choose based on your skateboarding style and surface preference.
Most skateboard wheels are made from polyurethane, which offers durability and a good balance of grip and slide. However, there can be variations in quality among different brands. Look for reviews or specifications that mention rebound properties or wear resistance to ensure you're selecting wheels that will last longer and perform well over time.
