Bones Skateboard Wheels 52mm 97A X-Formula V5 Sidecuts
by
Bones
SKU: B-XF916
Description
Bones 52mm 97A X-Formula V5 Sidecuts Wheels put Bones X-Formula into a 52mm x 30mm, 97A wheel with the V5 Sidecut shape.
X-Formula rolls over rough terrain like a softer wheel but slides like a harder one. It absorbs vibration and softens impacts, and Bones developed it over a ten-year period to slide when you ask and grip when you need it. Smaller wheels like this are light and quick for technical street skating.

- Anyone who skates everything
