Powell Peralta Dragon Nano Cubic Wheels 54mm 97A
Powell Peralta Dragon Nano Cubic Wheels 54mm 97A
Details
NanoCubics™ feature the same classic design advantages, of the legendary Cubic and MiniCubic, reconceived for today's skating, and utilizing our amazing 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.
Outer Lip:
- Protects your nuts!
- Adds width and stability
- Makes coconut wheelies possible
- Climbs over coping, up onto curbs and up walls
Inner Lip:
- Leaves more truck exposed
- Grabs onto obstacles and locks in on grinds
Urethane:
- 97A Dragon Formula
- Skate everything urethane
- Slick on ledges and flip tricks
- Fast in pools and bowls
- Forgiving on city streets
- Solid at the skatepark
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.

About Dragon Formula
Dragon Formula™ is Powell Peralta's latest next generation polyurethane breakthrough. Dragons are mid hardness 93A and 97A wheels that smooth out rough terrain. Now you can roll over previously unskateable terrain on your way to a skate spot, and then skate it as well or better than before with the same wheels. This is because dragons slide like 99A & 101A wheels and still grip when needed. This makes dragons very special and unique.
Dragon Formula has taken us a decade of development to perfect. they have amazing speed, a smooth ride, unequalled grip to slide ratio, vibration damping, and extra-long life. this formula is groundbreaking and will make skating more fun and expand the skate terrain available to dragon riders.
To expand the fun and performance of this revolutionary new formula, we offer Dragons in both traditional symmetrical shapes and two new asymmetrical shapes, Nano-Cubics™ and Nano-Rats™.
