SATORI WHEELS - NEEN NADC CONICAL 101 (53MM)

The NADC Neen Williams skateboard wheels in the modern conical shape at 53mm. 101a for extra speed on smooth surfaces and greater flat spot resistance.

Wheel Shape / Profile: Conical - Conical refers to the cone shape produced by using flatter surfaces from the contact patch to the side of the wheel. Double Conical wheels were a popular shape in the late 1970s. It either referred to a conical shape being used on the corner & from the wheel side to the bearing seat or a conical profile on both sides of the wheel. In recent years this shape has been modified to suit smaller hard wheels. It provides a nice shaped corner for slides, flatter wheel sides to lock into edges, and a wider contact patch. 

Urethane - 101a:  The latest formula was designed for higher abrasion resistance. This means it is a little harder to flat spot.  They are super fast on smooth surfaces and the easiest to slide. Being super hard, if you find they let go on smooth surfaces or feel unpleasant on rougher terrain, switch back to the 98a models. There are no hard and fast rules, best to try out different wheels and select what works best for you.

Wheel Size -  The 53mm size is a great all-round street and park size to hold speed in the flats and give you good momentum in small transition, while still offering a very quick and predictable pop to really dial in your flip tricks. A great size for average to full-sized humans to flip and grind all the street and park features. 

Bearing core -  Center-Set so you can reverse the wheel to save the graphic and help get a longer life out of your wheels as you can rotate them, so they burn down evenly.
