Powell Peralta – Kevin Reimer Pro – 75mm/75A (Green)

The 75mm 75a RACE wheel is a grip monster. It will outgrip any wheel on the market. Once you break the skin, it will slide smooth but have tremendous braking potential.

The Powell-Peralta 75mm Kevin Reimer wheel is an ALL-OUT race wheel. It is a new concept on wheel design that features a massive inset lip that will give you huge traction, better wear, and a narrower track width on your trucks. This is NOT for sliding casually, or for cruising the streets – It is for racing World Cup level tracks and taking home podiums.

This race wheel will be poured in:

75a SSF PRO – A smooth sliding, soft wheel for rough roads

78a RACE – The stickiest out there. Full grip

80a RACE – Firm grip, sharp lips, and gnarly grip, but much smoother sliding than 78a

HOW TO RIDE THIS WHEEL:

This is not your average DH wheel. It is meant to have tremendous traction when new, and you will not be easily able to slide it. In order to slide the wheel, you should enter the corner as fast as possible, commit to the turn, grab rail, load the wheel up, THEN slide it. If you try to throw a pendulum slide, it will probably buck you off when fresh. This is an ALL-OUT race wheel that is meant to win races, not casually skate down hills. Once the skin is gone, you will find this wheel to slide very smooth, and will grip substantially more than other wheels, even without the skin – this is due to the inset lip. Choose the 72mm Kevin Reimer if you want to slide corners, and do some fast freeride.

There is NO WARRANTY offered on this wheel, due to its pricing and usage. Being that is has very thin outboard lips, it is prone to chipping or chunking if slid on rough pavement, over cracks, or allowed to crash into curbs.

Diameter: 75mm
Width: 62mm
Hardness: 75a
Core: Yes
Formula: RACE PRO
Surface: Smooth
Shape: Sharp Lip

Sector 9 – Butterballs – 70mm/80a

ABOUT THE WHEEL
70mm Butterballs are the original Sector9 Shredthane wheel. A center-set supportive Cosmic Core helps you in rotating the wheels to keep them wearing evenly as you shred them into oblivion and leave thane trails all over your favorite hill.
ABOUT THE CORE
Core technology has come along way and is one of the final frontiers for the progression of the modern skateboard wheel. Many avenues of wheel shape and urethane compounds have been hammered out but, the inner world of the core has been largely unexplored. We have finally stepped up with our own core design, and the list of positives is just the beginning: from increased roll speed, to better controlled slides.
Welcome to the new COSMIC CORE!

ABOUT THE URETHANE
If the average rider really knew what our wheels went through to make it into our line-up, he might be comfortable putting them on his car. On a serious note: these wheels are nitpicked through and through before even become prototypes.
Then we dissect them, test them, rework them and test them again. This process often seems tedious, but it has proven successful time and time again. Whether it is our Race Formula, our Shredthane or our Nineballs, these wheels all stand up to the rigors of the road and perform for you when you need them most.
