Longboard Wheels

The longboard wheels make contact with the ground, and therefore largely determine the riding behavior of longboards. We offer you a wide selection of longboard wheels from all major manufacturers at affordable prices. Whether you are looking for classics like ABEC11 or prefer the cheap blank version - we are sure to have the right wheel for you in our range. For longboards and of course also for skateboards.

Small wheels

A small wheel can be accelerated quickly. Due to the small circumference of the roller, it can be brought to a medium top speed with little effort. Once there, however, small longboard wheels must be kept up to speed by constant "pushing". They don't roll for long and quickly lose speed again. Small longboard wheels are therefore more suitable for small longboards, cruisers or slalom setups, where precisely these properties are required. Of course, how big the wheels can be also depends on the deck. If the wheels are located under the board (without recesses), as is the case with classic cruisers, for example, there must of course be sufficient distance between the deck and the wheels in order to be able to turn without the wheels "sticking" to the board or locking (wheelbites).

Large longboard wheels

Larger longboard wheels require more time and power to accelerate. Once they get going, however, they turn significantly longer than small wheels. In addition, the larger circumference of such wheels increases smoothness and stability. Most longboards are designed for wheels between 70mm and a maximum of just over 100mm. Tapered shapes or more angular cut-outs above the wheels prevent so-called wheelbites. A good average for a longboard wheel would be 76mm. This is the "sweet spot" between acceleration, speed and effort for a normal adult.

The rollers Härte

When choosing the right wheel, you should of course also pay attention to the hardness. The A-scale used for most wheels goes up to 100 and is harder as the number increases. A fairly soft wheel in the longboard sector has a hardness of 78A and the hardest variants are around 86A. Wheels with over 90 or even 100A are more suitable for street riding. About the features: Soft wheels provide more grip on the ground. They are designed to maintain traction for as long as possible without slipping or sliding. Hard wheels can therefore lose contact with the ground sooner. So if you like to slide, go for the harder wheels. However, the hardness also has an effect on speed and riding comfort. Soft longboard or cruiser wheels are more comfortable to ride, but will also lose some speed compared to hard wheels due to their good grip.

Depending on the size and design of the board, a wheel between 65mm and 80mm with an average hardness of around 80A is recommended. The various manufacturers of longboard wheels such as Abec11, Seismic, Bigfoot, Orangatang or our Blank wheels are available in all imaginable colors and shapes.
