Performance Characteristics
- Size (54mm): This is a larger, medium-sized wheel. It offers a noticeable increase in roll speed compared to smaller 52mm or 53mm wheels, and provides more momentum, making it great for cruising, transition skating (bowls and ramps), and getting through rougher streets with ease.
- Hardness (93a): The "Soft Sliders" durometer is engineered to be a compromise between a traditional hard skate wheel (99a-101a) and a soft cruiser wheel.
- It absorbs more impact and vibrations on rough or "crusty" terrain for a smoother, quieter ride.
- It still offers the controllable, consistent slide and unmatched flatspot resistance that Formula Four urethane is famous for, allowing you to do tricks without the sticky "cruiser wheel" feel.
- Shape (Classic): This is the most iconic wheel shape in skateboarding, featuring a medium riding surface and rounded side walls, offering a versatile feel for both street and park.
The 54mm 93a Classic is an excellent choice for a skater who primarily skates outdoors on rough ground or likes to blend speed, cruise, and technical tricks without having to swap wheels.
