Powell Peralta Dragon Formula Nano Rat 52mm 93A

Powell Dragon Formulas now exist in 93a and in the Nano Rat shape for those of you who might still identify as a skate rat in your mind... but whos ankles and knees are begging for mercy.

Rumour has it, once you try these you'll never ride another street wheel again. Is it true? There's only one way to find out. And it's not Googling it.

The Dragon Formula is the result of a decade of George Powell's experiments with urethane to offer the holy grail: a soft wheel that slides like a hard wheel.

These Nano Rat Dragons are 93A in durometer, and will make pushing and cruising round town more comfy than any other wheel of this duro or harder out there. They open up the crustiest of spots, and unlike super soft longboard wheels will not grab the coping or the rail as you grind - they slide like the 101A wheels you're used to riding. It's hard to believe, until you try them.

At 52mm these will feel pretty natural for anyone used to skating street, and quite small for anyone coming from a longboard or cruiser. But thats not necessarily a bad thing - you don't want too much bigger than this if you're skating a lot of street and park, and the softness of the Dragon formula opens up a whole lot more spots, especially around Bristol where some of it is a little crusty...

Solid choice for a park or street spot when you want to take the strain off your body without sacrificing the feel of a proper skate wheel.
