Put this on my mini-cruiser and wow. Definitely could feel the difference on gravel and with speed! Was a bit skeptical on the size and they do look a tad small, but once I got on it didn’t matter. Also have a 70mm set on my Carver board and it’s spectacular. Really smooth and rolls faster. The more significant difference i felt (compared to conventional wheels) was on the 60mm on the mini-cruiser. Am 100% converted and only buying/using these wheels from now on! Absolutely love this color too!
The width is increased, but the friction is decreased! The sine wave design provides three lips per wheel for superior lateral grip. When you want to slide, they break away smoothly and recover easily.
The wave pattern design allows for a thin contact patch touching the ground and therefore less friction, resulting in a quicker ride.
The alternating pattern of grooves significantly reduces hydroplaning by channeling liquid, sand or gravel out and away from the surface of the wheel, allowing for a firm contact patch with the ground.
