€74,99

Rip through slides with the Powell Peralta Primo 69mm 78A Orange Skateboard Wheels, a cost-effective choice for freeriding, cruising, and dancing. Powell Peralta, a skateboarding icon since 1978 under Skate One, is trusted for its innovative urethane. This 78A Paster formula set in vibrant orange features extra urethane depth and a centerset core for smooth, controlled slides. At 69mm with a 44mm contact patch, they offer a slightly firmer slide than 75A SSF wheels, ideal for skaters upgrading completes. Compatible with 8.6" to 9.0" decks using trucks like Independent 159, this set of 4 wheels delivers Made in the USA quality.

Key Features

  • Paster Formula: 78A urethane provides a firmer, faster slide than SSF, with durability for freeriding and cruising.
  • 69mm Diameter: Balances speed and agility for freeriding, dancing, and cruising on varied terrain.
  • 78A Durometer: Firmer than 75A, offering a smooth slide with moderate grip for versatile performance.
  • 44mm Contact Patch: Wide patch ensures traction and stability on 8.6" to 9.0" decks, ideal for controlled slides.
  • Centerset Core: Flippable core supports even wear and standard bearings, sold as a set of 4.

Compatible Wheel Sizes

The Powell Peralta Primo 69mm 78A Orange wheels are designed for 8.6" to 9.0" decks with trucks like Independent 159 (8.75" axle width). For alternative wheels with similar performance, consider the following sizes from Powell Peralta and Orangatang:

Powell Peralta:

  • Primo 69mm 75A (Green): Softer SSF formula for grippier slides, ideal for freeriding on 8.6" to 9.0" decks.
  • Snakes 69mm 75A (White): Similar SSF urethane, offering comparable grip and slide performance.

Orangatang:

  • In Heat 70mm 77A (Orange): Slightly softer for smoother slides on 8.6" to 9.0" decks.
  • Beefcake 73mm 80A (Orange): Larger and firmer for faster slides on similar setups.

General Guideline: For 8.6" to 9.0" decks with Independent 159 trucks, 66-73mm wheels with 75A to 80A durometers are optimal. The 69mm 78A Primo excels in smooth slides for freeriding, while 75A wheels offer more grip. Use risers with wheels over 66mm to avoid wheelbite.

Deck and Truck Compatibility

The Powell Peralta Primo 69mm 78A Orange wheels are optimized for decks 8.6" to 9.0" and pair well with:

  • Independent Trucks 159 (8.75" axle): Ideal match for 8.6" to 9.0" decks, balancing stability and turning.
  • Venture Trucks 6.1 (8.75" axle): Provides similar stability for freeride and street setups.
  • Independent 149 (8.5" axle): Narrower for agile setups on ~8.6" decks, requires risers to prevent wheelbite.

General Guideline: Use 1/8" to 1/4" risers with 69mm wheels on 8.6" to 9.0" decks to avoid wheelbite, especially with 78A wheels. Quality bearings (e.g., Bones Reds) enhance roll speed for freeriding and cruising. Avoid rough sidewalks, as the 78A Paster formula may wear on abrasive surfaces.
