Enhance Your Pro Scooter with Premium Wheels
A diverse selection of new pro scooter wheels awaits your discovery on this page. You'll discover various widths, sizes, and an array of designs, enabling you to select the perfect pair for your scooter.
New wheels significantly enhance your scooter. They alter the way it feels, operates, and reacts. With the appropriate wheels, your scooter will almost feel brand new. Prior to purchasing, ensure the wheels are compatible with your setup. Below, you will find straightforward answers to common inquiries about pro scooter wheels.
Pro Scooter Wheels: Ensuring Compatibility
To ensure a pro scooter wheel is compatible with your setup, consider two key measurements: diameter and core width. Typically, pro scooter wheels feature a diameter of 110 mm and cores that are 24 mm wide.
Wheel Diameter
If the diameter of your chosen wheels exceeds that which your deck and fork can accommodate, they won't fit. Adequate clearance is necessary for the wheels to roll smoothly. A diameter less than your fork and deck's maximum allowance poses no issues.
⇒ Check that your fork and deck can accommodate the wheel diameter you select.
Wheel Width
The core width should not surpass what the fork and deck can handle. For a narrower wheel than the fork, spacers can be used to bridge any gaps.
⇒ Ensure your fork and deck can accommodate the wheel width you choose.
12STD Wheels
12STD wheels require a compatible fork and deck that adhere to 12STD standards. This system uses a 12 mm axle and 6001 bearings, unlike the standard scooter wheels with 608 bearings and 8 mm axle holes.
⇒ Choose 12STD wheels only if you have a 12STD fork and deck.
Key Features of Pro Scooter Wheels (and Their Impact on Your Ride)
When selecting new stunt scooter wheels, there are important technical elements to consider that influence your scooter's responsiveness.
Wheel Diameter
- Large wheels boost speed and stability
- Smaller wheels are lighter and provide greater agility
Wheel Width
- Wider wheels offer enhanced grip
- Narrower wheels are faster, though less grippy
Wheel Profile
- Flat profiles provide more grip and stability
- Narrow profiles offer increased speed and agility
- Round profiles offer a balance between flat and narrow profiles
Core Material
- Aluminium cores are robust, ideal for tricks
- Nylon cores are lighter, suitable for beginners and children (not ideal for tricks)
Core Design
- Solid core – Most durable, but also heaviest
- Hollow core – Strong and lighter than solid
- Spoked core – Strong and lightweight
- Perforated core – Balances low weight with performance
If durability is your priority, solid cores are the way to go. Aesthetic preference largely influences the decision between different core types.
Wheel Hardness
- Harder urethane lasts longer, with less grip
- Softer urethane offers more grip but wears down sooner
Typical hardness ranges from 84A to 90A on the durometer scale.
Identifying the Need for New Pro Scooter Wheels
Worn wheels impact your performance. If you are unsure if a replacement is necessary, watch for these indications:
- Cracks within the rubber
- Flattened areas
- Core damage
These signs suggest that it's time for an upgrade, and replacing your wheels can enhance the scooter's feel.
Frequent riders might need wheel replacements every few months, while casual riders may experience greater longevity with theirs.
Replacing Both Scooter Wheels Simultaneously: Is It Necessary?
Changing both wheels at once ensures improved balance and consistent performance between the front and rear wheels.
Replace both wheels if:
- Both wheels exhibit wear or flat spots
- Consistent performance is desired between front and rear
- Switching to a different type or hardness
Replace one wheel if:
- Only one wheel is damaged
- You're choosing the same type of wheel
Do All Scooter Wheels Come with Bearings?
The majority of stunt scooter wheels come with pre-installed bearings, simplifying installation and ensuring readiness for usage. Always verify product specifications or visuals to confirm bearing inclusion.
