Shark Wheel 72mm Longboard Cruising Wheels, DNA Formula, Set of 4 Wheels

best wheels ever by far, replaced my new longboard wheels with these and coast nearly twice as far. If your looking for more bang for your push and more speed on roads this is the golden ticket.

One of the smoothest rides I've ever experienced on a longboard, crazy good quality

A bit expensive. But gives you the confidence that you won’t go flying when you hit a pebble. No regrets.

The media could not be loaded.  Upon riding, they seem a little bit stiffer than the normal 80 derometer wheels.They do seem to chuck the rocks out of your way relatively easy. What I did was put two on the front and leave regular standard wheels on the rear. That way I can put those wheels on two different boards.

I've been using these wheels almost exclusively for about 5 months now. Let me say, these are probably the best wheels you will ever cruise on. At 70mm they are a great size for going over cracks, bumps, and generally anything that would otherwise stop you. At a 78a durometer, they are soft enough that the ride is considerably more comfortable and stable than your standard longboard wheels. Combine these with the sine wave shape of these wheels and you have the smoothest ride you could hope for on a skateboard. These wheels are fit for rain and shine. Though your bearings might object to riding in the rain, these wheels certainly won't be the reason you would stop. The aforementioned combination of shape, size, and softness means puddles are no longer a threat to you. Additionally, since these wheels are so smooth, it means that you can achieve great speeds even if your bearings are totally ruined. (Side note: these wheels are absolutely great for downhilling since they can give you such high speeds). On the note of speed, these wheels give me some of the best speed I've ever had while skating (and that's across multiple different types of bearings). Now, I'm not sure I'm comfortable saying they're the fastest wheels you'll buy, since honestly, the speed is comparable to any wheel of a similar size and durometer. What I can say, however, is that the shape of these wheels gives them the edge over any traditional wheel. My reason for saying this is that I have 70mm, 80a longboard wheels that I used before these and they would get tripped up by the usual suspects: pebbles, twigs, crosswalk bumps, some of the gnarlier sidewalk cracks. With these wheels having a sine wave shape, these objects (obviously with the exception of the more severe obstructions) are no longer something to be feared. They will simply give you a bump, or just get thrown out of your path by the sine shape. As for grip on the road, Shark wheels have an exceptional grip on surfaces, even in wet conditions. You will feel minimal, if any slippage at all while you speed through parking lots, sidewalks, and just about any other hard, even-ish ground surface. Now, these wheels have only a couple shortcomings. These wheels make the claim that they can go through gravel, sand and water. Like I said, they can go through water reasonably well for a wheel, though the deeper puddles (ones that are high enough that they make contact with your axle nut) will definitely cause you to slow down, if not bring you to a sudden stop. The same can be said for gravel. Small bits of gravel spread apart won't be much of a problem but larger bits could definitely be a danger to you. As for sand, the advertising is misleading. You wont be shredding through the beach any time soon. Any patch of sand that's maybe a foot or less could possibly be suitable to go through, but any longer than that and you're probably better off walking. Aside from those, the other false claim is that these wheels can slide. They are definitely not made for sliding. At 78a they're just too grippy to pull off any sliding with ease. Even after wearing through them for 5 months they still don't slide well at all. Aside from those critiques I really don't have any other negative thoughts on these wheels. Overall, I'd give these wheels more recommendation than any other wheel I've used. I only wish Shark would come out with a larger wheel than 70mm just for an even smoother ride.

These wheels have removed my need to carry a flashlight at night. Unless I'm going incredibly slow (i.e. I'm texting and don't want to stop, but should) do i stall on small cracks/branches The waves in the wheel really do make a major difference. I can easily roll from the lightest kick. I don't have great vision, residually at night, and after not seeing an acorn i broke my arm at 25 which was VERY embarrassing. After that i ALWAYS carried a flashlight. Till i got these. Now i don't stress on it. I won't say i "roll" over acorns now, but i don't trip on them anymore.Best example i can think of that most experience are those bumps at crosswalks, they're usually yellow and for the blind i believe. On normal wheels they would immediately bring me to a near complete stop and i couldn't make it past them. I used to avoid them because of that and when I couldn't avoid them I'd hop off the board running to catch my board. Now I'll roll over them. Don't get me wrong they do still slow me down but not by that much. I could easily roll over them now.At first I will admit, they feel a bit unbalanced and you feel the wobble, (much like center of gravity shifted ever so slightly from side to side) i noticed most when i was making sharp turns it used to cause me to slip, but I don't have that issue anymore. ive it a little time and youll notice faster speeds and longer distances, with clean wheels just oiled i used to go from the top of a hill about 250-300 feet before going to slow that i was nearly stopped with these i get to 400-450. That's pretty subjective but it's very noticeable when you ride it. I mean I'd doubt the improvement if not my own experience. Overall my best experience is that rocks/sticks/cracks cause less stumbles and trips when you ride.My ONLY kinda issue is they don't last as long as my normal wheels did. Those lasted me a very long time, well i don't have dates but these ones ones need to be replaced and i ride less than i used to. They do lack.. tread? Idk they don't grip the ground correctly. When I try avoiding things. Now i can't verify they go out quicker but they feel like they stopped working faster, and with so much less contact surface and my avoiding so much less things that would wear them down, it's very likely they are going out faster.None the less. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND these to anyone. I even bought some for my bro, and will buy again.

Where I skate the streets are rough and the bike lane / sidewalks are always covered with gravel and rubbish. These wheels are perfect for daily commute / travels - as far as not having to pay attention to what your rolling over and just moving forward.The only problem which isn't really a problem, more of a preference is that the top end / top speed is most definitely slower than your generic long board wheels. I would say I top out at about 10 mph with these instead of 13/14 mph on regular generic garbage wheels. Its just more kicking and less stressing about hitting a gravel piece at the perfect angle to make you bail / faceplant.4 stars because my pupp and I have the n33d for sp33d.

I got the shark wheels without doing any deep resuch on them and I thought they would be kind of garbage when I went to ride on them. I was very impressed with them actually and it improved my riding experience. Sadly I got hit by a Prius the day I had installed them. I guess you could say that they saved my life lol.

Ich finds wirklich cool, natürlich nur zum Longboarden. Es hält was es verspricht, besser über Steine, weniger Reibung.Für meinen Geschmack könnten sie aber noch etwas härter sein, leider sind sie auch nicht all zu lange haltbar, da sich das Profil bei mir jetzt nah ca. 200km fast runtergefahren hat.

Fast shipping! Superb wheels! Smooth, roll over just about anything with ease, and as long as you have decent bearings - very fast! The shape and design channel the rocks and pushes them aside from your path, I have yet to hit a rock that stops me; on previous wheels I would get a little nervous approaching small - med rocks, sticks, other debris on the paths/roads (spring cleanup hasn't happened yet but it doesn't matter) you glide with ease through it all. Love love love these wheels!

The product it good for pothole’s, rocks, branches and rough roads. But it’s not really an off road wheel. You don’t get a supper smooth ride from it or equal speed to a regular wheel. Honestly unless you do a lot of water or gravel just get bigger wheels. It’s cheaper and will get you trough most terrains. If you want to get them go a head I am kinda disappointed in the product

amazing wheels, and super super fast shipping.. deff recommend.*note, there will be some dutys/taxes if ordering into Canada, but totally worth the extra lil bit of money.
