Powell Peralta Dragon Nano Cubic Wheels 52mm 97A

Details

NanoCubics™ are inspired by and developed for Andy Anderson to help him expand his wide range of street, park and freestyle tricks on all terrains.  NanoCubics feature the same classic design advantages, of the legendary Cubic and MiniCubic, reconceived for today's skating, and utilizing a special version of our amazing new Dragon™ formula.  

The NanoCubic's offset design allows it to have the perfect shape for both inner and outer edges to skate a wider range of obstacles.  NanoCubics are smaller, lighter, and offset, so their large outer edge rolls up curbs, walls, and over cracks, and it covers your axle and nuts.  The inner edge locks onto rails but releases when you need to. 

Andy's NanoCubic is totally unique, bringing the best in wheel design and urethane formula together in one special wheel.

Andy rides his Nano Cubic wheel with his new Baby Heron Varja deck and 8.0" Mini Logo trucks.

About Dragon Formula: The amazing new Dragon Formula™ (DF) Urethane used to create these wheels is another industry leading innovation from Powell • Peralta. DF-93A Dragons will not only roll over rough terrain, but also grip and slide like 99A and 101A wheels do, so that you can do all your normal tricks and more on the greater range of skate terrains made skateable by its softer 93A hardness.

Speed: Dragons are very fast because DF-93A is super high rebound, an industry leading 18-20% higher than hard wheels. This higher rebound means you won’t lose speed in bowls or parks the way you would with an ordinary 93A wheel, and you will roll much smoother and faster on rough streets and sidewalks…even in places you used to have to walk your board. 

Grip & Slide: Dragons slide on both rough and smooth terrain, when you need it.  This is because Dragon Formula is not a normal urethane formulated to be a mid-90’s wheel, it is a unique formulation developed by our R&D group over a 10 year period to optimize and fine tune it to perfection. That’s why no other wheel can perform like Dragon’s can. Its slide ability and grip to slide ratio come from a unique blend of high performance materials, not from using weaker urethane with less grip and durability to get the wheel to slide.

Durability: Dragon Formula wheels are not only smooth, fast, and slidable, they are also among the longest lasting wheels available. This makes them a super value at the same time, so don’t think you are saving money by buying a low cost, low performance wheel.  Choose Dragon Formula wheels, and have more fun skating longer.
