Hawgs Wheels: Canadian excellence engineered to tame the asphalt
Hawgs was born in Canada with a clear objective: design the best possible wheels to equip legendary Landyachtz longboards. To achieve this, the brand makes no compromises, using unique urethane formulas tested under the most extreme conditions (from 80+ km/h mountain descents to intensive urban cruising sessions). Whether you are looking to turn your street board into an ultra-smooth cruiser, break into buttery slides, or carve like on a wave with your surfskate, Hawgs has the exact urethane formula and shape you need.
A urethane formula for every riding style
Hawgs' global success relies on the diversity of its urethane compounds and the technical design of its cores, engineered to maximize speed and prevent wheel deformation under pressure.
Here are the major lineups available in our shop:
- Chubby Hawgs & Fatty Hawgs (The queens of urban cruising): These are the wheels that equip the brand's famous cruisers. With their soft durometer (typically 78A) and wide profile, the Chubby (60mm) and Fatty (63mm) instantly erase road vibration, swallow gravel, and cross streetcar tracks without flinching. Discover our Hawgs wheels.
- Plow King (Ultimate large-format comfort): With its 72mm diameter and ultra-soft urethane, this wheel is a true monster of speed and comfort. It is ideal for long commutes and anyone who wants to push as little as possible while maintaining momentum for miles.
- Lil' EZ & Supreme Hawgs (For freeride and controlled slides): If you like breaking traction to slow down or throw tricks, these lines use specific urethane offering an incredibly smooth, consistent, and "buttery" slide without the risk of flatspots.
- Rigid cores for higher speed: Most Hawgs wheels feature a rigid center core supporting the urethane. This reduces friction, extends bearing life, and guarantees a much higher top speed than standard soft wheels.
