We got to test these wheel out around the mean streets of Boston, and they're quite unlike any wheel we've ever tried.
For their designed purpose, they are excellent - Cali Cruisers excel in hard carving, pushing, pumping, and bombing around cars down long stretches of incline.
Sliding on them is better for small checks as you're rounding a tight corner, and then promptly hooking back up. Fresh out of the box, they are fairly grippy and hold surprising lines.
I also got to take a few runs down a faster road, and discovered a nifty second purpose- Cruisers work quite well for navigating high-intensity roads you're unfamiliar with. The roll speed isn't excessive and the slide is not too much or too little. I felt comfortable bombing new roads and sliding on new pavement.
Overall they're worth the low price simply because everyone needs a cruiser setup for having fun around town. But don't forget them when you're going out to the mountains, either.
From Remember:
Remember's Cali Cruiser's have all of the things you associated with California. Chill vibes, beach cruising, and good times. These wheels are stone ground, so throw a skid or two as you're mobbing down the beach path. The 78a formula gives you all the grip you need to nail those hairpin corners of the city.
