Seismic Hot Spot 69mm 77a Plum Defcon longboard wheels

New release in 2020: 77a Defcon formula wheels: These are plush, velvety roll with strong edge hold, even on rough roads. Aggressive yet smooth slide with fast braking. 

This is where Seismic differs to most companies, they keep improving. Orangtang created the 4President 10 years ago and said we done, wheels good, what's next. Seismic does not have that luxury, their wheels are used in the most extreme conditions = racing around the world. Riders and racers give their feedback and Seismic keep improving their wheel, releasing better formulas and faster wheels. 

In early 2005, Seismic developed the Hot Spot shape to roll through turns faster without compromising grip. Taller and thinner than the Avalon, the Hot Spot features a slightly squared lip that bevels inward at a small angle. It's a perfect complement to your race box and an outstanding choice for all-purpose longboarding, cruising and Old School styling.

When you are racing, and want pure speed, what is important is grip so you can rip. If a wheel can hold its shape, and not dump too much thane on the road then you have a wheel that will last for more than one run. Nothing worse than getting to the bottom of the hill and finding out your wheel is coned, chunked or the square lip now rounded. Seismic urethane is made so you can be the fastest all day, not just on the first run!

Why buy this wheel if you are not going to race?
Racing is the ultimate testing ground for a wheel. This wheel has won more slalom races than any other. It is Seismic's best all round longboard wheel. At 69mm it is not too big, it will suit most top mounts and drop thru decks. The wheel keeps it shape, performs every day. Skating them is like having fresh wheels every day!

Is how a wheel made important?
Every part of a Seismic wheel has been designed and planned. The hub/core of the wheel is the foundation of a great wheel. The 69mm Hot Spot uses what Seismic call their advanced Mini-EC hub, it’s ideal for fast freeride, technical downhill, Tight and Hybrid slalom, and general-purpose cruising.

Not too big and not too small, the Mini-EC hub preserves ample tire thickness while saving over 15 grams per wheel, stiffening the inside edge, and super-charging inside edge rebound. 

The latest and greatest from the world's best wheel manufacturer.
