Ricta Clouds 57mm Red 86a: The Ultimate Filmer & Rough Spot Wheel
The Ricta Clouds 57mm Red 86a are the perfect solution for skaters who want a smooth, quiet ride without sacrificing the ability to perform tricks. Featuring Ricta's signature 86a soft urethane, these wheels are designed to turn the crustiest street spots into skateable terrain. The 57mm diameter provides superior top-end speed and the ability to roll over large cracks, pebbles, and debris that would stop smaller, harder wheels in their tracks.
In a bold Red colorway, these wheels don't just perform—they stand out. Whether you are building a dedicated "filmer" board or just want a more comfortable commute, the 86a Clouds offer the perfect balance of grip and speed.
Why Choose the 86a "Red" Clouds?
-
Smooth Energy Formula: The 86a durometer is significantly softer than standard 99a street wheels, effectively dampening vibrations and reducing foot fatigue on rough asphalt.
-
Large 57mm Profile: The increased diameter allows for higher roll speed and easier transition skating, making them excellent for ditches, bowls, and long-distance cruising.
-
Versatile Hybrid Performance: While they are soft, the 57mm shape maintains a classic skateboard wheel profile, allowing for ollies, kickflips, and grinds.
-
Ideal for Filming: The soft urethane keeps the board quiet, ensuring your camera picks up the sound of the skating rather than the rattle of the pavement.
