Powell Peralta Snakes

The SSF is designed to bridge the gap between grip and slide. While most soft wheels are strictly for cruising, this formula allows you to slide predictably on rougher pavement without sacrificing the smooth, fast roll you expect from a 75a durometer.

Yes, they are excellent for freeride and technical downhill. The wide profile and predictable slide release make them a favorite for riders who want to initiate slides easily while maintaining high-speed control.

At 69mm, these are relatively large wheels. Depending on your deck shape and truck height, you may need riser pads to prevent wheel bite, especially if you run your trucks loose.

They excel on rough terrain. The 75a durometer absorbs road vibration significantly better than harder wheels, meaning you will maintain more momentum and have a much smoother ride over cracks and debris.

They come with a smooth surface finish, so they may feel slightly grippy right out of the box. After a few initial slides, the surface will scuff, and you will achieve the consistent, buttery slide they are known for.
