The Shark Wheel is the reinvention of the wheel. They say it has been scientifically proven to outperform the traditional wheel in most categories including reduced friction in motion, longevity, speed and rough terrain performance. We know they look damn cool on your board.
- Sidewinder formula offers a superior smooth ride for Longboarding.
- Best wheel in the world over rough terrain (pebbles, debris, sand, water, etc).
- Very fast with excellent grip and control.
- Made in California, USA
- All Sidewinder wheel purchases come in sets of 4 total wheels
- Key Features- 70mm Diameter, Sine Wave Pattern
First of all, the Sidewinders show a distinct advantage going over any rough terrain. Pebbles, dirt, sand, water, etc are simply pushed left and right as the wheel rolls because of its sine wave pattern. Instead of avoiding bad patches in the road at all costs, Sidewinders will give you the confidence that nothing can stand in your way.
Second, there is little friction in contact with the ground. This reduces rolling resistance and makes the wheel fast. No need to push over and over again, Sidewinders get up to speed right away. Third, you will find a 15% longevity advantage in cruising situations. Traditional wheels have one center point, while Shark Wheels have multiple center points.
It takes longer for the wheel to wear out. Finally, Sidewinders are great slide wheels. Less friction equates to easier slides. Also, the 3 lips of the wheels grab compared to a traditional wheel’s 1 lip. Cruising, fast cruising, freeride, and fast freeride is the sweetspot for the Sidewinders.
1. Rough Terrain. The best wheel over rough terrain. The sine wave shape tends to kick pebbles and small objects out of the way. Also, the best wheel over wet conditions. Scientifically proven by San Diego State University, Mechanical Engineering Department.
2. Approach Angle. Shark Wheels perform similar to how drivers intuitively know to go over a speed bump at an angle to reduce the shock in their car. The unique 30-degree approach angle of the Shark Wheel reduces shock and deflects objects due to its approach angle. A normal wheel is a steamroller and tries to go over obstacles in its way. Shark Wheels tend to move around objects.
3. Lasts Longer. Scientifically tested to last up to 50% longer when cruising. Shark Wheel has multiple center points compared to one center point on a traditional wheel. Scientifically proven by San Diego State University, Mechanical Engineering Department. Flatspot resistant.
4. Better Slide Control. The Shark Wheel actually spins as it slides acting like a car's antilock brakes. The 3 lips of the Shark Wheel compared to 1 lip on a traditional wheel give predictable slides. Also, slides are easier to perform due to less surface area in contact with the ground. Less friction to initiate a slide.
5. Lightning Fast. 57% less rolling resistance than a traditional wheel. Scientifically proven by the largest caster company in the world.
6. Media. As seen on Shark Tank, the Discovery Channel, FedEx Commercials, FOX.
7. Technology in Other Industries. Shark Wheels are used by many Fortune 500 companies in other industries for their performance advantages.
