Skateboard Cruiser Wheels & Penny Board Wheels
Experience a Smoother Ride with Skateboard Cruiser Wheels
Skateboard cruiser wheels are specifically crafted to let you glide effortlessly through town. In comparison to skateboard wheels, cruiser and penny board wheels are larger and softer, ensuring a smooth journey even on bumpy terrains. These larger, softer wheels provide increased speed and excellent grip.
For novices, trying out cruiser skateboard wheels can be a great introduction to board sports. They are often easier to manage than skateboard wheels and can act as an excellent stepping stone before venturing into the skatepark.
Crafted from polyurethane, both cruiser and penny board wheels sometimes feature the label SHR, which stands for Super High Rebound, granting them a bouncier quality.
Determining the Right Size Cruiser Wheels
The appropriate wheel diameter is largely determined by your deck's size. A longer deck requires bigger wheels for an optimal riding experience. Though smaller wheels can be paired with a longer deck, this typically doesn't provide the best ride.
Deciding on the wheel shape is also crucial. With cruiser and penny wheels, options include sharp-lip or round-lip shapes. Sharp-lip wheels offer superior grip, while round lips are ideal for carving.
Ultimately, the choice of wheel hinges on the rider's weight and personal taste. Much like wheels for skateboarding and longboarding, they are gauged using the durometer scale, with higher numbers signifying harder wheels.
