Inline Skate Wheels

Inline Wheels available at Rawk

Modern Inline skate wheels are almost universally made of polyurethane (a type of durable plastic). Most other plastics and rubber either wear down too quickly. In general, the bigger the wheel, the faster the skate. However, large wheels will take more energy to start rolling. Smaller wheels allow faster acceleration, manoeuvrability, and a lower center of gravity. Wheel hardness is measured on the A scale (The Durometer, which measures the hardness of a material) and usually ranges between 78A-93A (higher numbers are harder). Harder wheels are faster and more durable, but soft wheels may have better grip and less affected by road bumps.

Whichever wheel size or hardness you're after, they'll all be here at Rawk.
