Product Description
The Shark Wheel Advantage
|
|
|
---|---|---|
Less Friction, More SpeedShark Wheels produce less friction when the wheels are in motion, producing a smoother ride at higher speeds. Combined with California-made high-rebound polyurethane which gives the skateboard extra speed, range, and comfort. |
More Grip & Slide ControlThe Shark Wheel spins as it slides acting like a car's antilock brakes. The sine wave design provides three lips on each wheel while the traditional wheel only has one lip. This provides superior lateral grip for when you want to slide, they break away smoothly and recover easily. |
More Traction Over Various TerrainShark Wheels tend to push small objects left and right, out of the way when riding to produce a smooth ride. These Wheels were designed to explore the world, whether it be down backroads, taking hard curves, or at the skate park. |

Commitment to Innovation
Shark Wheel is based and manufactured out of California, dedicated to developing innovative and technologically sound wheels in the marketplace. David Patrick’s discovery led to the reinvention of the wheel, which is flat on six sides and displays many performance advantages such as friction in motion, longevity, rebound, abrasion resistance, and off-road performance. Shark Wheel worked with the Mechanical Engineering Department out of San Diego State University to ensure the sine wave motion of the Shark Wheel was able to perform through lab and real world applications. Shark Wheels are made in California and strive to have the best high-rebound polyurethane in the world. This leads to a fast and smooth riding experience for the skateboarder.

At 70mm they are a great size for going over cracks, bumps, and generally anything that would otherwise stop you. At a 78a durometer, they are soft enough that the ride is considerably more comfortable and stable than your standard longboard wheels. Combine these with the sine wave shape of these wheels and you have the smoothest ride you could hope for on a skateboard.
These wheels are fit for rain and shine. Though your bearings might object to riding in the rain, these wheels certainly won't be the reason you would stop. The aforementioned combination of shape, size, and softness means puddles are no longer a threat to you. Additionally, since these wheels are so smooth, it means that you can achieve great speeds even if your bearings are totally ruined. (Side note: these wheels are absolutely great for downhilling since they can give you such high speeds). On the note of speed, these wheels give me some of the best speed I've ever had while skating (and that's across multiple different types of bearings).
Now, I'm not sure I'm comfortable saying they're the fastest wheels you'll buy, since honestly, the speed is comparable to any wheel of a similar size and durometer. What I can say, however, is that the shape of these wheels gives them the edge over any traditional wheel. My reason for saying this is that I have 70mm, 80a longboard wheels that I used before these and they would get tripped up by the usual suspects: pebbles, twigs, crosswalk bumps, some of the gnarlier sidewalk cracks. With these wheels having a sine wave shape, these objects (obviously with the exception of the more severe obstructions) are no longer something to be feared. They will simply give you a bump, or just get thrown out of your path by the sine shape.
As for grip on the road, Shark wheels have an exceptional grip on surfaces, even in wet conditions. You will feel minimal, if any slippage at all while you speed through parking lots, sidewalks, and just about any other hard, even-ish ground surface.
Now, these wheels have only a couple shortcomings. These wheels make the claim that they can go through gravel, sand and water. Like I said, they can go through water reasonably well for a wheel, though the deeper puddles (ones that are high enough that they make contact with your axle nut) will definitely cause you to slow down, if not bring you to a sudden stop. The same can be said for gravel. Small bits of gravel spread apart won't be much of a problem but larger bits could definitely be a danger to you. As for sand, the advertising is misleading. You wont be shredding through the beach any time soon. Any patch of sand that's maybe a foot or less could possibly be suitable to go through, but any longer than that and you're probably better off walking. Aside from those, the other false claim is that these wheels can slide. They are definitely not made for sliding. At 78a they're just too grippy to pull off any sliding with ease. Even after wearing through them for 5 months they still don't slide well at all. Aside from those critiques I really don't have any other negative thoughts on these wheels.
Overall, I'd give these wheels more recommendation than any other wheel I've used. I only wish Shark would come out with a larger wheel than 70mm just for an even smoother ride.
Best example i can think of that most experience are those bumps at crosswalks, they're usually yellow and for the blind i believe. On normal wheels they would immediately bring me to a near complete stop and i couldn't make it past them. I used to avoid them because of that and when I couldn't avoid them I'd hop off the board running to catch my board. Now I'll roll over them. Don't get me wrong they do still slow me down but not by that much. I could easily roll over them now.
At first I will admit, they feel a bit unbalanced and you feel the wobble, (much like center of gravity shifted ever so slightly from side to side) i noticed most when i was making sharp turns it used to cause me to slip, but I don't have that issue anymore. ive it a little time and youll notice faster speeds and longer distances, with clean wheels just oiled i used to go from the top of a hill about 250-300 feet before going to slow that i was nearly stopped with these i get to 400-450. That's pretty subjective but it's very noticeable when you ride it. I mean I'd doubt the improvement if not my own experience. Overall my best experience is that rocks/sticks/cracks cause less stumbles and trips when you ride.
My ONLY kinda issue is they don't last as long as my normal wheels did. Those lasted me a very long time, well i don't have dates but these ones ones need to be replaced and i ride less than i used to. They do lack.. tread? Idk they don't grip the ground correctly. When I try avoiding things. Now i can't verify they go out quicker but they feel like they stopped working faster, and with so much less contact surface and my avoiding so much less things that would wear them down, it's very likely they are going out faster.
None the less. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND these to anyone. I even bought some for my bro, and will buy again.

Für meinen Geschmack könnten sie aber noch etwas härter sein, leider sind sie auch nicht all zu lange haltbar, da sich das Profil bei mir jetzt nah ca. 200km fast runtergefahren hat.
