WHEELS FAQs
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
