Riedell Sonar Wheels - Zen - Quad Roller Skate Wheels - 4 Pack of 32mm x 62mm 85A Wheels

Wheels are too soft definitely not made for heavy skaters. I put them on my daughters skates who weighs less than 120 lbs and she loves them.

Ordered two sets and they are slightly different colors. It’s not too noticeable so I’m not going to return but it was disappointing. I haven’t tried out the wheels themselves yet but the look great otherwise.

Im writing this review because I wish someone had saved me from buying these wheels a month ago with my new Riedell skates. I thought that if they were offered as an option by Riedell, then they would be a good quality item. I was wrong to think that. Riedell, I love you, but sorry, this is the truth. I went back and forth between giving these a 1 star and giving them a 2 star. I went with 2 because it does seem like they are going to hold up well over time (although I wont know for sure because Im not planning to keep using them). However, the performance is just NOT good at all. Your skating experience will suffer on these wheels. Pros: ⁃ Can skate ok on a variety of outdoor surfaces as advertised - concrete and asphalt as long as there arent a lot of big bumps/cracks/rough spots ⁃ Seem to be holding up fine as I skate on them ⁃ Cheap to buy and to replace Cons: ⁃ These wheels dont handle slight changes in roughness of the ground very well, so unless your outdoor skating surface is pretty smooth and very consistent (most arent unless its an outdoor rink), when you run over a small bump or rough patch you will feel like youre going to fall (or you might just fall!). ⁃ These wheels have no hub. I think thats the biggest issue with their performance. The hub area is made of the same 85A urethane. So because it is soft, it doesnt react quickly at all. This means when you want to make a slight turn, the wheels want to keep going the other way. Youll feel unstable and it isnt easy to curve. Crossovers or anything more advanced is pretty much out of the question due to such slow reaction time. So really all you can do in these wheels is skate in a straight line. You will feel badly about your skills when you skate in these wheels. But it isnt you, its the wheels. Dont let these wheels make you want to quit skating because you think youre just really bad at it! It isnt you, its the wheels. ⁃ For 62 inch wheels, they feel slooooooow and heavy. It takes a lot of effort to build up any speed, and it feels like you have 8 weights dragging you down. Im going to try Radar Energy or Moxi Gummi wheels next as Ive been advised that they will be an improvement. Ive actually been told they will feel like skating on mini trampolines or clouds compared to these! Ill update this review when I try them.

Great though the wheel width could be wider maybe 38 and the ht could be maybe 58 then i would say PERFECT!

Good traction

These were my first pair of outdoor wheels. I was initially attracted because of the price. I knew they would take a beating, unlike the more expensive indoor wheels I skate on in the Rink. I skated 250 on these this Summer on various surfaces but found that the smoother the better really. I enjoyed these wheels a great deal but have switched up for the Fall Skating Season to something softer and more forgiving, since I have also become more adventurous and am off the paths and the parking lots and into the streets now. Slowing learning to Urban Freestyle Skate. These wheels did wear down quite a bit and I would say 250 miles is pretty good for the price. I am about to buy another pair specifically for Indoor use, since these are technically hybrid wheels, and feel amazing an a really smooth surface, polished concrete and hardwood are fantastic. The slightly in-between Indoor and Outdoor Durometer rating provides a bit more stickiness indoors if you want a bit more stability, while trying new dance moves, they corner really well. Buy a Set, Skate hard!

These wheels,are so,smooth Im,scared at times !!!

FIT SKATES WELL

They are awesomely smooth when riding over bumps, roadcracks, tiles.. Smooth ride. Good value for your money, thickness is good for speed, sheerness is awesome

Very fast delivery. Ive been skating on these outdoor wheels for over 10 years. They are under utilized in the roller skating community. Great roll and absorption of bumps and cracks. Narrow and light so great for skate parks too. They dont feel heavy and cumbersome like a lot of outdoor wheels do to being narrow and 85A. Great wheel for the money!
