TGM Skateboards Bigfoot Freeride Longboard Wheels 65MM 78A Islanders SHR Cruiser

The Islander Cruiser Wheels are a versatile option for a wide range of longboard setups. Measuring 65mm in diameter and 45mm in width, these wheels feature a 41mm contact patch and a smooth, slightly rounded inner edge with a 78a durometer.

Equipped with ABEC 9 bearings, the Islander wheels boast exceptional performance. The balls run in deep-groove raceways and are retained by a self-lubricating Delrin crown. A low-viscosity synthetic oil has been added to the bearings, ensuring smooth, low-friction operation.

The 65mm size of the Islander wheels makes them suitable for most longboards, with minimal risk of wheel bite. The 78a hardness provides a good balance of grip, roll, and slide-ability, making them a great choice for both high-speed riding and freeride maneuvers.

Thanks to their slightly smaller diameter, the Islander wheels are easier to break free for sliding compared to larger longboard wheels. This makes them an excellent option for those seeking a versatile freeride setup. The center-set core allows riders to flip and rotate the wheels, encouraging even wear and preventing coning.

One of the standout features of the Islander wheels is the variety of color options available. Riders can choose their favorite color or mix and match sets to create a customized, stylish look for their longboard.

In terms of ride quality, the 78a Super High Rebound (SHR) hardness provides a smooth and comfortable experience on both smooth and rough terrain. The soft durometer offers a good amount of grip, roll, and slide-ability, making the Islanders a well-rounded choice for a variety of riding styles.

The smaller 65mm diameter of the Islander wheels also contributes to their quick acceleration and decent roll speed, making it easier to get going from a standstill. This, combined with the smooth ride and versatile performance, makes the Islanders a great all-around option for longboard enthusiasts.

In summary, the Islander Cruiser Wheels are a well-designed, feature-rich product that caters to the needs of both novice and experienced longboard riders. With their combination of performance, customizability, and smooth riding characteristics, the Islanders are a reliable and enjoyable choice for a wide range of longboarding applications.
