Price is for a set of four wheels
Voted by skaters from around the world on the old Silverfish longboard forum as the world's best slide wheel.
As the name suggests, this one is a classic. Currently no longer in production in this size, we could be the last one's in the world with stock. Skate a legend before it is too late. The future will be divided into two types of longboarders. Those that remember how awesome the Cult Classic was, and have skated them...and those who have not.
It is not just a great slide wheel. We rate these as a carve and cruise wheel. They come with a shiny skin and the urethane and shape will grip when needed. So if you are thinking you might do some sliding when you get better at longboarding, and you really just want a quality cruise wheel for your board - this is it.
This wheel uses the Cult Mystothane. It is a super nice chalky slide that is progressive. Which means it does not break into a slide immediately, you can feel the wheel gradually break and slide. Which means it is THE wheel to learn how to slide on. You can push the wheel and feel it start to slide and then get out of the slide easily, without the wheel icing under your feet and you land on your bum.
The core is sideset, so the wheel will cone and wear down on the inside. Once you get into that coning, the wheel makes that awesome scraping noise, not only do you thane the road, you let the neighbours know you are at it again!
These wheels came in green, blue, yellow and magenta. This is the magenta, and we think the best colour. Why? The green and blue colour did change the urethane a bit, made them ice out at speed. The magenta and yellow where more true to the urethane properties, they give a nice chalk slide, super easy to initiate and oh so nice to slide.
If you can't have fun on this wheel, check your pulse you might be dead.
