The Science of Dragon Formula™ 88A & Wide A2 Architecture
Every structural parameter of the Dragon Formula 88A wheel is engineered to maximize energy return, absorb harsh road vibration, and optimize slide flow:
-
The 88A Ultra-High 82% Rebound Breakthrough: Featuring an unmatched 82% rebound capacity, the DF-88 performs with the blazing top-end speed of a much harder wheel while providing the smooth, joint-saving cushion of an 88A durometer. It minimizes rolling resistance, allowing you to roll much farther with each push as if you were skating on completely smooth pavement.
-
The Wide A2 Symmetrical Architecture: Designed with a massive 21mm wide riding surface (contact patch)and comfortable double-radial shoulders. This wide-profile footprint distributes your weight evenly for rock-solid stability at high speeds, while the perfectly symmetrical front-to-back profile ensures your wheels feel identical whether rolling regular or switch.
-
Flawless Grip-to-Slide Continuum: Engineered to grip tightly when you need sharp cornering control, yet break loose into a smooth, predictable slide the second you initiate a power slide or ledge blunt. Unlike traditional soft wheels that bounce or stick violently during slides, this unique compound slides cleanly without stalling out.
-
The Ultimate Crossover Sizing: Measuring 54mm x 39mm, this sizing provides the ideal daily driver dimension for filmers, all-terrain cruisers, and street skaters who deal with heavy road crust but want to maintain crisp technical trick execution and pocket control.
