Powell Peralta Dragon Formula 93A Skateboard Wheels
Skaters searching for Powell Peralta dragon wheels are looking for the Dragon Formula, Powell Peralta's own Dragon Formula (DF) urethane in a 93A hardness. It is built to roll fast over rough terrain while still gripping and sliding like a harder 99A or 101A wheel, so the softer 93A hardness opens up more terrain without giving up the tricks you already do.
What Makes Dragon Formula Different
Dragon Formula urethane is a proprietary blend Powell Peralta's R&D team developed and refined over a ten year period, tuned specifically to combine speed, grip, slide, and durability in one wheel rather than trading one for another.
- High rebound urethane, an industry leading 18 to 20% higher rebound than hard wheels
- Slides on both rough and smooth terrain
- Built for long lasting durability
Who These Wheels Are For
These are a fit for skaters who want a single wheel that rolls smooth and fast over rough streets and sidewalks, the kind of surfaces you would normally have to walk your board across, while still holding a line and sliding in a bowl or park when you ask it to. The 93A hardness makes more of that terrain skateable without sacrificing speed.
How to Get the Most From Them
Because the higher rebound keeps you from losing speed in bowls or parks the way an ordinary 93A wheel would, expect these to roll noticeably smoother and faster once mounted, especially on rougher pavement. As with any urethane wheel, rotate them periodically for even wear and keep bearings clean so the wheel's speed and rebound are not held back by dirty bearings.
