Spitfire Sapphires

The dual-durometer design gives you the best of both worlds. The softer 90D outer layer absorbs road vibration for a smoother ride on rough pavement, while the harder 101A inner core prevents the wheel from squishing under pressure, keeping your speed consistent.

While they are designed with a cruiser-friendly focus, the 53mm size and 101A core make them versatile enough for street skating. They are a great choice if your daily route involves a mix of rough city streets and occasional ledge or flat-ground tricks.

Yes, Spitfire uses high-quality urethane that is formulated for durability. While the clear aesthetic will naturally show some scuffs and dirt more than opaque wheels, the performance and structural integrity remain consistent with Spitfire's standard high-performance wheels.

The wider contact patch increases the amount of urethane touching the ground, which provides extra grip and stability during turns. This makes the wheels feel more planted and predictable, especially when you are navigating uneven urban terrain.

No, these wheels are compatible with all standard skateboard bearings. You can use your existing set or install a new pair without any modifications.
