The Shark Wheel 60mm California Roll is one of the most versatile wheel formats in the Shark Wheel lineup. Its compact diameter and soft 78a formula make it especially well suited to cruisers, smaller decks and riders looking for comfort without giving up control.

Built for Versatility

The California Roll combines a relatively small 60mm diameter with a wide wheel profile and a soft 78a durometer.

That combination makes it a natural fit for cruiser boards, Penny-style boards and other smaller skateboard decks where riders want a softer and more comfortable ride than a traditional hard street wheel.

Shark Wheel positions the California Roll for cruising, carving and freeriding, making it one of the most adaptable wheel formats in the lineup.

Compact does not have to mean limited. The 60mm California Roll brings cruiser-style comfort and Shark Wheel geometry to smaller skateboard setups.

Sine-Wave Wheel Geometry

What separates Shark Wheel from a conventional wheel is its three-dimensional sine-wave shape.

Rather than presenting one continuous traditional wheel edge to the ground, the design creates multiple lips and a unique approach angle as the wheel rotates.

This geometry is designed to help the wheel approach small obstacles at an angle and interact differently with pebbles, cracks and debris encountered while riding.

Surface Performance

Rough Terrain

Designed for cracks, small pebbles and imperfect pavement commonly encountered during everyday cruising.

Wheel Design

Angled Approach

Shark Wheel geometry approaches surface imperfections differently from a conventional straight-profile wheel.

Ride Feel

Soft 78a Formula

The softer durometer makes the California Roll particularly appropriate for cruising and carving.

Control

Three Wheel Lips

Shark Wheel's distinctive geometry creates multiple wheel lips designed to provide lateral control while riding.

Performance for Everyday Riding

The California Roll is designed around more than one type of performance. Rather than focusing only on speed or only on grip, the wheel combines several characteristics important to everyday skateboard riding.

Its soft urethane formula helps provide comfort and traction, while the compact 60mm size keeps the setup appropriate for smaller cruiser boards.

The result is a wheel designed for riders who want cruising comfort, maneuverability and the ability to handle a variety of riding surfaces.

Where the California Roll Fits Best

A 60mm wheel is particularly useful when a rider wants more cruising capability without moving to the much larger wheel sizes typically associated with longboards.

This makes the California Roll a practical choice for cruiser skateboards, Penny-style decks, compact commuter boards and riders building a comfortable everyday setup.

It is also a strong option for riders who spend more time cruising streets and sidewalks than performing technical tricks in a skatepark.
