The wheel
lab.
Small and hard for tricks, big and soft for cruising. Here is everything you need to choose the right wheels — without the jargon.
52–54 mm · 99A
Small and hard. Light, fast to flip and happy to slide on smooth concrete and park ramps.
55–58 mm · 95A
The all-rounder: a bit bigger and a bit softer, for street spots that are not quite perfect.
60 mm + · 78A
Big and soft. Rolls over cracks, pebbles and cobbles — the cruiser and commuter pick.
Lab rule
The harder the wheel, the smoother the ground needs to be. The softer the wheel, the less you care.
