FAQ
Is 90A hard or soft?
Medium-soft. The 90 Duro riding surface grips and smooths out the ride, while the 101 Duro Formula Four core keeps it fast.
What is the Radial shape good for?
Versatile, all-around riding. Spitfire describes it as a round-edge, medium-width riding surface that offers the versatility of the Classic shape in the width of a Conical.
What size wheels should I get?
Smaller wheels (50 to 52mm) are light and technical, 53 to 54mm is the street and park go-to, and 55mm and up adds speed for transition and rough ground. See our skateboard wheels guide for more.
