Revolutionary 97A Dragon Formula Tech

Developed over a 10-year period with zero shortcuts, the Dragon Formula completely redefines what a skateboard wheel can do:

• Sustained Velocity & Higher Rebound: DF-97A wheels feature up to 20% higher rebound than standard hard wheels. This gives you noticeably more speed in concrete parks, bowls, and rough street spots—crushing the performance of standard 93A wheels that lag on crusty ground.

• Grip When You Need It, Slide When You Want It: This one-of-a-kind formula delivers unparalleled slide control. They slide smoothly over ledge caps and curbs like a 99A or 101A wheel, yet immediately grip and roll away clean when your weight shifts back over the center of gravity.

• Extreme Flatspot Resistance: Engineered from ultra-premium American chemicals, Dragon Formula urethane heavily resists flatspots, chunking, and asymmetrical wear, maintaining an elite rolling smoothness throughout the life of the wheel.

AV6 Nano Rat Asymmetrical Geometry & Performance

The AV6 profile puts both sides of the wheel to work, optimizing your interaction with obstacles while maintaining an ultra-stable center of gravity:

• Sidecut Outer Face: Designed with a classic sidecut exterior that mimics a traditional street wheel, ensuring your flip tricks, scoop geometry, and general board setup feel instantly familiar.

• "Lock-In" Inner Face: The interior wall features a sharp, specialized cut engineered to lock perfectly onto metal round rails, coping, and square concrete ledge corners, holding your grinds steady and preventing slip-outs.

• Center Set Bearings: Unlike heavy offset wheels, the center-set bearing seat keeps the core perfectly balanced over your axle. This means you get all the benefits of an asymmetrical shape without changing the tracking or balance of your truck setup.

• Medium 20mm Ride Patch: Upgraded to a 34mm width with a 20mm contact patch, the AV6 shape offers enhanced lateral stability at high speeds and superior grip on slick park surfaces compared to narrower street wheels, without feeling heavy or sluggish.
