WHEELS FAQs

How the wheel grips the floor

  • SOFT WHEELS (78A - 85A)

    Best for outdoors and rough surfaces. They provide maximum grip and absorb shock, but roll slower.

  • HARD WHEELS (95A - 103A)

    Best for indoor rinks and smooth wood floors. They slide easier and roll faster, but you will feel bumps more.

  • HYBRID WHEELS (85A - 94A)

    The middle ground. Perfect for beginners or skaters who want one set of wheels for both indoor and outdoor use.

How fast the wheel rolls

  • SMALL WHEELS (Under 59mm)

    Agile and lightweight. Best for dance, artistic skating, and quick footwork, but they have a lower top speed.

  • TALL WHEELS (Over 62mm)

    Fast and smooth. Best for long-distance outdoor cruising because they maintain speed and roll over cracks easily.

  • STANDARD WHEELS (59mm - 62mm)

    The "Goldilocks" size. A perfect balance of speed and stability for general rink skating and roller derby.

How stable the wheel feels

  • WIDE PROFILE (38mm - 44mm)

    Maximum stability. The extra surface area helps with balance, making these great for beginners and derby skaters.

  • NARROW PROFILE (30mm - 32mm)

    Maximum agility. Less surface area means less friction, making these ideal for dance skating and sharp turns.
