Powell Peralta G-Slides

These wheels are designed for hybrid riding. Because of their 85A durometer and Soft Slide Formula, they excel at cruising and commuting on rougher pavement while still being soft enough to initiate slides easily without needing high speeds.

At 59mm, they are slightly larger than a typical street wheel. While they fit most setups, you may need a small riser pad if you ride your trucks loose or use a deck with smaller wheel wells to avoid wheel bite during sharp turns.

Unlike harder wheels (99A or higher) that are built for grip and technical tricks on smooth concrete, the G-Slides are much more forgiving. They absorb vibration better on rough asphalt and offer a smoother, more controlled slide, making them better for all-terrain cruising than pure street skating.

Yes, like most urethane wheels, they have a thin outer 'skin' from the molding process. You will notice the slide becomes much more consistent and predictable after the first few sessions once that initial surface layer wears down.

Absolutely. The Soft Slide Formula is engineered specifically for longevity. They are resistant to flat-spotting, which makes them a reliable choice for daily riding, even if you frequently power-slide to control your speed.
