People's first instinct when buying a speedboard, the evo in particular, is to buy the flywheels. If you inspire to be a great speedboarder, I suggest some Bigzigs. Flywheels do what they are meant to, but other wheels grip better and still have the ability to slide. With these wheels you are loosing grip to get a slide that isn't much better than any other wheel. On the other hand, I use these for my Luge, it is great. These things are great for speed. Get them for luges!!! I give 3 stars for longboarding and 5 stars for luge.

I had ridden kryptonic route 70's for 2 years before I finally got my downhill set up tuned in and bought these wheels. These wheels ROCK!! The 83mm is a wonderful size! Feels huge! But the roll speed and distance per push definitely increased!! Soooo much grip!! I have the 75a wheels and they are exactly what I was looking for! I kept hearing great things about the abec 11 thane...now i know why! It is glorious. Grips when you want it to grip...but even at 75a it will slide predictibly....couldnt ask for a better wheel!!! Thanks to Melanie and Daddies for the best service and suggestions anywhere on the web! I'll always be coming back!

It is painfull flat here in Miami Beach. I had a sector nine coconut board with 65mm 75a wheels. I drilled the board for a longer wheelbase and to fit these monsters lol. No bite with only a 1/4" riser. These roll over anything and carry me so much further on a single push. They get a ton of looks as I cruise Ocean Drive too :) I give them 5 stars. Nothing like a 30" board with 83's on it hahaha...lovin it

Okay, so I have these on my Evo. I have the 78a durometer. I like them a lot, I don't really have too many other wheels to compare it to, they aren't quite as sticky as the Sector 9 crappy wheels, but they drift real smoothly and predictably. They definitely aren't as drifty as the Orangatang Durians. But I have never lost control with these wheels and I have done some brutal stuff, so I recommend these wheels to people who like speed!

Love these wheels! Gigantic without going to 97mm and 40 extra bucks. I have to say after getting to about 30 mph on 78a duro they drift a bit but the sheer speed is to die for! If you want a lil more grip, but a smaller wheel (harder ride) go for the gumballs but I find these grippy enough for me.
