Spitfire Wheels: Urethane Technology Built for Speed
In the skateboarding industry, Spitfire Wheels stands out as the ultimate go-to brand. As the centerpiece of your setup's speed, your wheels dictate your feel on the concrete and the quality of your tricks. Subjected to extreme forces during landings, grinds, or bowl sessions, urethane accepts no compromises. That's why Spitfire develops professional-grade formulas, tested by a legendary team, to guarantee optimal performance session after session, much like our high-performance bearings.
Formula Four: The Revolutionary Anti-Flatspot Formula
The brand's technological flagship remains the famous Spitfire Formula Four (F4) series. Engineered from an exclusive high-resilience urethane, Formula Four resists abrasion. It eliminates the risk of flatspots (those flat areas created during a powerslide). This formula delivers unmatched speed control and retains its original diameter much longer than standard wheels. You can choose between two durometers:
- 99A: The perfect balance between grip and slide, ideal for versatile street skating and rougher terrain.
- 101A: Harder, offering higher top speed and long slides on the smooth concrete of skateparks and bowls.
Understanding Spitfire Shapes: Classic, Conical, and Radial
Beyond hardness, Spitfire tailors the geometry of its wheels to match your riding style:
- Classic: The traditional shape. Intermediate contact surface, maximum response, absolute versatility.
- Conical & Conical Full: Straight sidewalls and a wider tread for high-speed stability and a perfect lock-in on rails.
- Radial & Radial Slims: Rounded edges for precise cornering control and lightweight flickability during flip tricks.
