Skateboard Cruiser Wheels & Penny Board Wheels
Skateboard Cruiser Wheels for a More Fluid Ride
Crafted for effortless navigation around town, skateboard cruiser wheels stand out due to their larger and softer build compared to conventional skateboard wheels. This design ensures a smooth experience, even on bumpy surfaces, while offering increased speed and superior grip.
If you are new to boarding, cruiser skateboard wheels offer an excellent entry point into board sports. They are often easier to manage than regular skateboard wheels, making them an ideal option before tackling the skatepark.
Cruiser and penny board wheels are both composed of polyurethane. You might see some wheels marked as SHR; this indicates Super High Rebound characteristics, providing a more dynamic bounce.
Determining the Right Size for Cruiser Wheels
The appropriate wheel diameter is mainly influenced by your deck’s dimensions. Larger decks generally require bigger wheels for optimal performance. Opting for smaller wheels with an extended deck might not yield the best results.
Choosing the wheel shape is an essential step. Cruiser and penny wheels come with either sharp-lip or round-lip designs. Sharp lips provide maximum grip, whereas round lips are ideal for carving.
Ultimately, the wheel selection also depends on the rider's weight and personal taste. Similar to skateboarding and longboarding wheels, they are rated on the durometer scale, where harder wheels have a higher rating.
