DEAD WHEELS BDST WHEELS
88a is our lowest durometer urethane, providing the maximum amount of grip and control. This wheel holds very well in sharp turns and is a great option for skating smooth wood, metal or concrete skateparks. On rougher surfaces, these wheels can wear down quickly. When riding with 88a wheels in the middle, make sure the frames have enough wheel bite protection, as they can stop you from sliding.
92a is our all-around, street or park skating durometer option. The 92a durometer wheel provides a great balance between grip while skating, and reduced friction while grinding.
If you’re not fully sure what hardness fits your style of skating, we recommend this 92a for both flat and anti-rocker setups.
95a is our hardest option and generously drifts on rough ground. It is tailored for flat, street skating setups where one wants to sacrifice grip for friction reduction while grinding or sliding.
Due to its hardness, this 95a has very little to no grip in dusty skateparks.
56mm wheel diameter
New for 2023, we shaved down our classic 58mm wheel profile to create a lower-riding wheel that is well out of the way while grinding. The flat-top surface provides increased stability for landing, and easier access to balance on toe and heel rolls.
58mm wheel diameter
We found that 58mm is the best size for all around street and park skating. It is small enough to keep you close to the ground, and stay out of the way while grinding, yet large enough to last you while skating rough surfaces in the streets. We developed this unique rounded profile to provide a natural feeling of fluidity while rolling and turning.
