Ricta Chrome Clouds 54mm 86a (White/Red): The Technical Hybrid
The Ricta Chrome Clouds 54mm 86a in the White/Red colorway is the perfect fusion of technical street geometry and smooth-rolling urethane. While many soft wheels are bulky, the 54mm size maintains a slim, lightweight profile that is ideal for flip tricks and technical ledge skating. This makes them a top choice for skaters who want to maintain their "trick bag" while skating rougher street spots or crusty DIY concrete.
The 86a durometer provides a dampening effect that saves your feet from the "vibration fatigue" of rough asphalt, but because of the rigid Chrome core, you don't lose the speed or "snap" of a harder wheel.
Performance & Technical Highlights
-
High-Rebound 86a Urethane: Expertly formulated to roll over cracks and pebbles that would stop a standard 99a wheel, providing a cloud-like ride on imperfect surfaces.
-
Rigid Chrome Core: The hardened plastic core prevents the wheel from compressing or "flexing" during impact, ensuring your energy translates directly into speed.
-
54mm Technical Size: A favorite for street skaters who want a lower center of gravity and less weight, making the board easier to pop and flick.
-
Premium White & Red Aesthetic: Combines a clean white urethane exterior with a vibrant, reflective red chrome core for a high-end, custom look.
Comparison: Ricta Clouds Series
The 86a durometer offers a "middle ground" feel—softer than a park wheel but faster than a cruiser wheel.
