SKATEBOARD WHEELS EXPLAINED​​

When you have a background in racing you really start to think of ways you can refine a product and optimize its performance. Just because something is good enough doesn’t mean we’re satisfied with it.

Hawgs Wheels:
Rolling Smooth since 2004

Wheels are arguably the most important part of a skateboard, responsible for roll speed, comfort and traction. While it is easy to copy the shape and color of a wheel and call it “high quality”, it requires a lot of experience, knowledge and testing to produce a wheel that rolls fast, stays round and provides a predictable, safe ride. We’ve spent years testing urethane, developing cores and trying different lip profiles. 

The result is the absolute best custom formulas to balance the needs of riders in every skate situation. After feeling the joy of riding good wheels, you will never go back. 

Since 2004 Hawgs has been matching skateboards with the urethane that they deserve. Our engineering team works with some of the worlds best skaters to develop proprietary wheel cores, urethane fomulas, and wheel profiles.  

They strive to constantly improve the ride, and to provide the perfect wheel for all disciplines. Everything from wheels for the skate park to open mountain roads, Hawgs has the wheel for it. The very first to pioneer custom grooves for traction in the rain and pushing the envelope with core design and dual-durometer technology, Hawgs has seen it all. 

Every Landyachtz board comes with the best Hawgs wheel for the complete but, if you want to change your ride up, you have a lot of options. It’s the urethane that connects you and your ride to the ground and so much about the ride feel can change with even a small change in your wheels.  

More traction vs. more sliding, more roll speed vs. better acceleration, even just a fresh splash of color – Hawgs has the right wheels for you.

Flex Ratings

We’ve categorized the stiffness of our boards into 3 main groups, listed below.  The general rule is the faster you’re skating, the stiffer the deck, but this is not universal.

Flexy – Soft and supple flex profile best suited for carving and cruising on longer boards. The bouncy nature of these decks lets you turn deeper and surf your surrounds.

Medium – The do it all of our boards, a perfect balance of stability and carve. 

Stiff – From cruisers to downhill boards a stiff flex profile excels in stability and responsiveness.  Whether you’re dipping into driveways or bombing a mountain pass you’ll be down with the stiffness.
