Also just announced from Atom Wheels the Super-G which is once again 59mm tall. Here is what Atom has to say for their new wheels.
Look! Out on the track!! It’s a bird….it’s a plane…..It’s SUPER G!!! This amazing new wheel, made of practically all urethane,is one of Atom’s best derby inventions yet. The Super G features what we call our ‘MINI-CORE.’ The mini-core allows for a large molded front lip while still providing ample support with an extra-large cavity back. By creating a wheel that has so much urethane it allows for MAX flex and grip! Super-G also has Atom’s exclusive indoor formula that allows for incredible roll while still maintaining the grip you need. If you like the Poison or Stinger you are going to LOVE the Super-G, the Super-G is your new ‘go-to’ wheel of choice! Atom Front-Runner Dante Muse said it best; “…..These wheels are magical!!
These wonder wheels are now IN-STOCK!! so make sure you place your order now.
So… from that I only hear squishy wheels that are heavy because of all the extra urethane.
Get your hands on some and tell us what you think.
Just got my hands in these at RollerCon and I have to say to my surprise they aren’t heavy or squishy. I skated them on sport court and although the coating hasn’t full worn off, they’re pretty friggin awesome. They’re slim and 59mm like the Jukes but I got the longer push like you would with a wider wheel when crossing over. I recommend the 91′s on sport court for sure !
Do you think that the 88′s would be good on polished concrete/slick, dirty tile? I’m looking for a better wheel for my practice space, and something to use at CCRE which is slippy too. I’m considering this wheel, but reviews to date are slim.
I’d say go for it. You should get the grip you need with an 88 and the agility from a smaller wheel. You cant go wrong!
So I ended up getting the 91′s because after thinking about it I didn’t want to be too grippy to the floor. As you’re the only person I can find that’s actually used them, how would you think they would perform on polished concrete? That is, if you can say based on where you wore them at Rollercon?
Our home opening bout had a last-minute change of venue, forcing us to play on slick basketball court wood instead of our usual polished concrete. I borrowed a teammate’s 88s and they worked really well for the surface. I retained a decent speed, but still got a nice grip for juking. There wasn’t too much slideout on the turns, but they didn’t feel muddy, either. (Despite a warning our opponents were sliding and falling all over the place on this surface.) Some of the newer skaters on my league use the Super G 88s for our usual (medium slick) polished concrete and at least one advanced skater uses the 91s. I’m thinking of investing in the 88s to have on hand for slick surfaces. I really thought they performed well.
