It doesn’t matter if you’re skating street, park, or pool. There is a wheel that will suit your needs. The fastest skateboard wheel should be strong enough to withstand the rigors of riding on rough terrain, while not being overly hard to lose speed by rolling too slow. It would also make sense for it to be hard enough to avoid flat spots while maintaining grip when you need it most – at high speeds!
Now let’s have a look at some of the top fastest skateboard wheels around in 2015 to get an idea of what we are talking about.
Rockered Skateboard Wheels
When it comes to doing skateboarding tricks, having fun, and generally cruising around local parks or streets then these are the fastest wheels for this purpose.
Why is that?
They are mainly concave which means they provide a sturdy grip. They also come with predrilled holes for easier mounting and replacing of bearings (which you will need to do more often when doing tricks). Top speeds of up to 50 mph (80 km/h) can be achieved with these wheels but most riders find their sweet spot around 25-35 mph (40-55km/h).
Another good thing about them is that they don’t tend to break easily when crashing which makes them a great choice when it comes to safety. The one drawback might be increased price so if you are looking for the fastest skateboard wheels on a budget – elsewhere!
Speedwheel’s fastest wheel is the ‘Formula Fire’. It has a huge core that will provide stability and momentum.
Remz-bots are reputable for their lightness of design which directly correlates with speed. The hardest thing about Remz-bots wheels is getting them to stick on your skateboard deck because they have such a low weight due to their very thin design. That being said, they might not be suitable if you want wheels for sliding or grinding as it can be too risky. If you’re looking for the fastest skateboard wheels – these might just be what you need!
What Wheels Should I Use? – Slide!
A common question asked is, what are the fastest skateboard wheels? The answer to this varies depending on the terrain you’re using them for. For example, if you’re skating in the streets, there are different fastest wheels than if you are pulling off some freestyle moves at an indoor park.
