Powell Peralta Nano-Cubic 97A Skateboard Wheels bring the offset design of Powell's legendary Cubic and Mini-Cubic wheels to a modern 54mm x 36mm street-and-park size. Developed for Andy Anderson's mix of street, park, and freestyle skating, they're poured in 97A Dragon Formula™ urethane in a natural color, giving you a wheel that's slick for technical tricks, fast in bowls, and forgiving on rough city streets.
Why Skaters Choose Nano-Cubic 97A
- Offset, asymmetrical shape: Each edge is shaped for a different job, so one wheel handles a wider range of obstacles than a standard symmetrical wheel.
- Big outer lip: Covers and protects your axle nuts, adds width and stability, rolls up curbs, walls, and coping, and makes coconut wheelies possible.
- Trimmed inner lip: Leaves more of your truck exposed and grabs obstacles so you lock into grinds, then releases cleanly when you want out.
- 97A Dragon Formula: Rolls over rough ground while keeping the grip and slide of 99A and 101A wheels. Powell rates it at up to 20% higher rebound than standard hard wheels for more speed in parks, bowls, and on rough streets.
- Grips and slides on real terrain: A formula Powell spent about 10 years developing, built to hold when you need control and slide when you want flow.
- Long-lasting: Premium materials keep these wheels fast, smooth, and consistent over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an offset (asymmetrical) skateboard wheel?
An offset wheel has its bearing seat set off-center, so the inner and outer edges are different sizes. On the Nano-Cubic, the larger outer edge adds stability and covers your axle nuts, while the smaller inner edge leaves more truck exposed for grinds.
How do I mount Nano-Cubic wheels?
Mount them with the larger lip facing outward. That way it covers your axle nuts and gives you the outer-edge stability the shape is designed for.
Who designed the Nano-Cubic?
Powell Peralta developed the Nano-Cubic for Andy Anderson. It updates the classic Cubic and Mini-Cubic designs for modern street, park, and freestyle skating.
Are 97A wheels good for street and park?
Yes. 97A Dragon Formula is slick enough for ledges and flip tricks, fast in pools and bowls, and smoother than a 99A or 101A wheel on rough streets.
How many wheels come in a pack?
Each purchase includes a set of 4 wheels. Bearings are sold separately.
