Seismic Blast Wave Black OPS 78mm 83a Purple Longboard Wheels - 2 Wheels
|
|
|
Order QTY 2 For 4 Wheels.
The Seismic Blast Wave is 78mm tall by 50mm wide, with a radiused outer lip for high grip with controlled sliding. It's molded around the full version of our proprietary Energy Conversion core, making it astoundingly light for a wheel of this size - so much so that we expect top racers to use it for disciplines ranging from Tight Slalom all the way to technical Downhill. Truly a "blast" to ride, and destined to rewrite the book on the versatility of tall wheels. According to one of the leading figures in the Colorado racing scene, "they grip as much as I want while pumping and hard carving. When I push them to slide, they break extremely smoothly (with none of the annoying chatter or hop associated with big balls of urethane), and they hook back up like butter."

Good, but worth the money?

I'm not an expert in wheels at all. These wheels are fast, really grippy but slide predictably once broken in (about 2 weeks for me). The only problem is that these are more expensive than any other wheel the same size. I think they're worth it if you require alot from your wheels, but if its just for cruising or casual longboarding, i'd go for BigZigs or something of the sort.

Hard enough that after some break in time I could slide them, but they still maintain traction when I want them to. I use them for light downhill, sliding, and commuting and they maintain roll speed very well.
