SPITFIRE F4 53mm 99A CLASSIC WHEELS

Spitfire Formula Four Classic 53mm 99a Skateboard Wheels are the newest wheel by Spitfire. Tested by Spitfire Team riders, Formula Four Performance Urethane lasted longer, withstood more abuse and performed superior to all other wheels. Spitfire Formula Four Urethane was developed to combine all the desired properties of a performance wheel without sacrificing any one attribute at the expense of another. Formula Four's True lasting Performance Urethane comes not from a single benefit, but from a combination of qualities and features that together produce a truly great wheel.

Wheel Size -  The 53mm size is a great all round street and park size to hold speed in the flats and give you good momentum in small transition, while still offering a very quick and predictable pop to really dial in your flip tricks. A great size for average to full sized humans to flip and grind all the street and park features. 

Wheel Shape / Profile: Classic - Spitfire claim this is the #1 shape in skateboarding world wide. And it probably is. This shape first emerged in the early 90’s and has been a popular go-to ever since.  It features a large radius from the bearing seat which produces a fairly narrow contact patch. It is the great all rounder. 

Urethane - Formula Four 99A: Spitfire released their new Formula Four wheels a few years ago now. The latest formula was designed for higher abrasion resistance. This means it is a little harder to flat spot. Formula Four 99A wheels are generally decorated with a blue themed graphic. Unless of course it is one of the signature wheels. The signature wheels feature artwork custom designed for each rider. 99A is considered a softer wheel in the modern skateboarding scene. They are still very hard. The 99A formula will provide a little more grip on super smooth surfaces and is a little more forgiving to ride on rougher surfaces

Bearing core -  Center-Set so you can reverse the wheel to save the graphic and help get longer life out of your wheels as you can rotated them so they burn down evenly.
