Halo 59mm/97a Roller Derby Skate Wheels - Charcoal/Green

Product Description

The Halo features an innovative, signature H-shaped hub that is radically different to anything offered by any other brand on the market. More than simply a larger core, the Halo hub is designed for optimal performance with excellent feel.

On previous wheels, the hub or core of the wheel has been smaller with a thicker layer of urethane. The urethane tends to build up around the edges & whilst this is great for grip & smooth rides across all hardnesses it's not so good for hockey & plow stops or for edge work. At the other end of the scale you have wheels with a bigger hub that have less urethane, which is perfect for stopping & edge work
- but then you sacrifice on grip!

Radar Wheels have designed the inner & outer rings of the Halo hub to be oversized, which reduces the amount of urethane on the edges of the wheel. This is the EXACT OPPOSITE to older speed skating wheels & makes it easier to perform stops while offering excellent response. The middle of the hub is smaller, or 'dropped' & has room for more urethane, which offers grip, increases control & improves ride, giving skaters the best of both worlds!
