Highlights & Application
Asymmetrical Nano‑Cubic Shape: large outer lip for rolling over curbs, coping, and cracks; steeper inner lip for clean lock‑ins on rails.
Dragon Formula™ Urethane: designed for speed, more comfortable riding on rough surfaces, and a balanced grip-to-slide characteristic.
Versatility: perfectly suited for street, park, bowl, and city commutes; 97A ensures fast performance on smooth surfaces and good durability.
Offset/protected bearing area: outside covers axle nuts — lower risk of impact/damage to the axle.
Technical Notes & Recommendations
Scope of delivery: 4 wheels per pack (bearings and spacers not included).
Braking/Wear: Due to the asymmetrical shape, regular rotation/change strategy can help reduce uneven wear.
Fit: 58 mm fit well with wider decks and are very suitable for transition / bowl; check truck clearance beforehand (use risers if trucks are very narrow).
Care: Clean after falling/resin contact; do not use strong solvents to avoid damaging the urethane.
These wheels are a modern interpretation of classic Powell‑Peralta shapes with a new urethane formula that is particularly interesting for riders who travel a lot on different surfaces and are looking for a durable, fast wheel with good riding comfort.
