Spitfire F4 101 Classics Wheels for a Faster, Harder Ride
If you are searching for a skate wheel that just works everywhere, the Spitfire F4 101 Classics Wheels are built around the classic wheel shape, a versatile profile that is not built to excel in one narrow or wide riding scenario but instead performs well across most situations. Spitfire even points to this wheel as a smart starting point if you are new to skating.
Formula Built for a Harder, Faster Ride
These wheels are rated at 101 duro and made from Spitfire's 100% true performance urethane, formulated for a harder faster ride. That harder compound is paired with unmatched flatspot resistance and a smooth anti stick slide, giving you more speed and control as you ride.
Who Rides the Classics Shape
- Beginners building their first setup who want a forgiving, all-purpose wheel
- Street and park skaters who want a harder duro wheel for speed without sacrificing slide control
- Riders who prefer one dependable wheel shape over swapping between narrow and wide specialty shapes
Because the shape is designed for general use rather than a single riding style, it holds up whether you are pushing to the skate park, sessioning ledges, or just cruising.
Mounting and Care
Seat the wheels on your trucks with properly lubricated bearings and speed rings so they spin freely without side to side play. A 101 duro wheel sits on the harder end of the durometer scale, which is why it is formulated for a harder faster ride with strong flatspot resistance. Check wheels periodically for uneven wear and rotate them so they wear evenly over time, and keep them clear of sand and grit if you ride near the beach.
