Powell PeraltaNano Cubic Dragon Formula Skateboard Wheels (93A or 97A Duros)

The wheels are as what they say. Smooth on roughly surface and grip on smoother surface. However it does need some time to get use to it or you might somehow need to change your board setup to fit the wheels. For tricks requires jumping it is brilliant.

I got the 52mm. They look great and they do everything they advertise they do. I haven’t taken them to the skatepark yet.I rode them around the neighborhood with very rough ground and they are super fun, they slide super nice and they feel very good on the joints landing my ollies just as any other softer wheel on the market.Cons:I took a picture of the chip I got on the first day out. It’s a pretty big chip. I hope they don’t end up getting to the point those chips become annoying. So far, they aren’t an issue aside from aesthetics. Time will tell.As expected from watching Ben Degros’ review and other online reviews, they do not sound like a hard wheel which is probably the only thing they don’t do well like the Spitfire 99a formula. Some reviews say they sound like Walmart wheels, I think they don’t sound cheap but they sure do throw you off.Day 2 update:After skating around for two days, the paint wore off almost completely of the wheel I have facing out.My flip tricks got a little harder, but I also switched to a bigger size board, so not sure if these wheels have anything to do with that.Also, there's some very smooth concrete in my garage that these wheels WON'T SLIDE on! Very weird, I hope they slide on the smooth cement skateparksWeek of use update:I removed these from my main setup. Mainly because they didn’t slide on my local skatepark which has smooth concrete. I probably would have to keep riding them to get used to them, but I wasn’t having much fun, so what’s the point. I put them on my experimental setup which I use to cruise around the streets and on my dog-walks. They are much more fun and meant to be ridden on rough grounds. Paint is almost faded 100% from the wheels.They do well on street settings, but still not replacing my 99a spitfires when I am doing any “serious” skating. The sliding is inconsistent depending on the elements you ride on, and on the pump track I found them to be slower than I would’ve liked/expected. My 99as felt a lot faster.Also I missed the barking sound.

These wheels really can ride any surface! I tried them on concrete, wood etc and they slide effortless

Back in the 80s I used to skate OJII wheels. (street razors, Bullets, etc.) and Powell wheels (T-bones, G-bones, and street styles).Later in the 90s I started skating Spitfires.I thought they all were the same, because most felt the same when skating.I saw all the reviews but thought it was just people hyping it up for wheel sales.But I can honestly say these are the best wheels I have skated in years.They both grip and slide when you need them to. Plus they work well on rougher terrain.If you can find a set, buy them.

I'm a cheap person... I also have trouble spending money on myself but these are so worth it. The ground in my area is janky AF.... And it glides over surfaces... Kinda trippy to ride a smooth park with like they are almost to slick at times but absolutely worth the money and will be buying these wheels from now on. Do yourself a favor and get decent bearings for them... You don't put regular unleaded in sports cars
