Powell-Peralta

Bombers 3 85A black, 60 mm

Regular price €59,99

Glide effortlessly with the Powell Peralta Bombers 3 85A Black 60mm Skateboard Wheels, a classic choice for skaters seeking a versatile, all-terrain ride. Powell Peralta, established in 1978 by George Powell and Stacy Peralta, is a legendary American skateboarding brand renowned for its Bones Brigade legacy and innovative designs. This 60mm set features a sleek black finish with the iconic Bombers 3 graphic, crafted using Powell Peralta’s Soft Slide Formula (SBA) 85A durometer for a grippy, quieter ride compared to harder wheels. With a 40mm width and a 30mm contact patch, these wheels ensure a smooth roll over rough surfaces like city streets, while their round-lip edge provides predictable slides on asphalt. Perfect for cruising, old-school bowl riding, or commuting to the skatepark, this set of four wheels offers a balance of speed and comfort for skaters of all levels.

Key Features

  • Soft Slide Formula (SBA) 85A: Softer durometer delivers enhanced grip and a quieter, smoother ride over rough surfaces, while maintaining decent speed.
  • 60mm Diameter: Larger size ensures faster rolls and better momentum, ideal for cruising and all-terrain skating.
  • Wide Contact Patch: 40mm width with a 30mm contact patch offers stability and control, with a round-lip edge for predictable slides.
  • Bombers 3 Black Graphic: Sleek black design with the iconic Bombers 3 graphic, reflecting Powell Peralta’s 1980s heritage.
  • Made in the USA: Manufactured in Santa Barbara, California, ensuring premium quality and performance (set of 4 wheels).

Compatible Truck Sizes

The Powell Peralta Bombers 3 85A wheels are best paired with wider decks, typically 8.5" to 10.0", to match their larger size and width for cruising or old-school setups. Compatible truck sizes from Independent Trucks and Venture Trucks include:

Independent Trucks:

  • Size 149 (8.5" axle width): Ideal for 8.5" decks, offering a balanced setup for cruising and park skating.
  • Size 169 (10.0" axle width): Perfect for 9.0" to 10.0" decks, providing maximum stability for larger setups.

Venture Trucks:

  • Size 5.8 (8.5" axle width): Suitable for 8.5" decks, delivering lightweight performance and responsive turning.
  • Size 6.1 (8.75" axle width): Ideal for 8.75" to 9.0" decks, offering a stable setup for all-terrain skating.

General Guideline: For an 8.5" deck, trucks with an 8.5" axle width (Independent 149 or Venture 5.8) are the best match, while 10.0" trucks (Independent 169) suit wider 9.0" to 10.0" decks for added stability. Note that Venture does not offer a 10.0" axle width.

Wheel Sizes

The Powell Peralta Bombers 3 85A Black 60mm wheels are included in this set and are ideal for cruising and all-terrain skating. If replacing with other wheels, the following sizes are compatible with typical 8.5" to 10.0" decks:

  • 56-58mm: Ideal for park and hybrid street/transition skating, balancing speed and grip for carving and technical tricks.
  • 58-60mm: A great choice for cruising and skateparks, offering faster rolls and momentum for smooth rides over rough surfaces.
  • 60-62mm: Suited for heavy cruising or transition skating, maximizing speed and stability in bowls or on rough terrain.
  • General Guideline: For 8.5" to 10.0" decks, 58-60mm wheels are most popular for cruising and park setups, while 56-58mm wheels suit mixed terrain. Opt for softer wheels (80A-85A) for grip on rough surfaces and harder wheels (90A or higher) for smoother skatepark surfaces.
