Shark Wheels Sidewinder 70MM 78A Wheels

These wheels are perfect , they take a beating well through tough street terrains like rocky streets, sticks and small ledge uprisings...feel and look like a great build , the wheels are try to ride very comfortably and keep you straight , and a big thing for me was the size being perfect for my board

You're looking for new and comfy wheels to ride? Look no further!! I was skeptical on buying these at first because I got thinking, there's no way you can make the “WHEEL” better than a fricken wheel. But I wanted to see these crazy square things for myself and boy and I glad I got them!! No other wheel rides as smoothly as these do. No not even super gummy wheels!! These ride smooth right over those little stones/sticks that use to send me right over the board with other normal wheels. But oh wait a min you're all into sliding you say? Well guess what these slide so well you'll be sliding into the weekend with ease!! I'll never ride any other wheel again!! Which these came out sooner!! I have been riding longboard sense I was 12 years old and I'm now currently 24.So recap: Yes these roll faster!! Yes they're great for commuting!! Yes they're good for sliding!! Yes they're good for downhill!!!P.S. Best wheel on the market!!!!

Had for a few weeks and love them. Haven't had them long enough to give them 5 stars or a would. Feel very safe and have a lot of grip.

Amazing wheels. So smooth and so fast. Transparent green looks so cool.

The moment I saw these Shark Wheels on a re-run of Shark Tank...I was hooked. I am very pleased with my purchase. Haven't ridden them too much yet, but i have definitely noticed they are faster and smoother than conventional wheels, go over cracks in the sidewalk easier too. And what a conversation piece! Friends, and strangers alike, have been blown away from just the look alone! Zak and Chad were very helpful with me to make sure I ordered the right wheels that would work best for me. I actually got a new Hosoi deck and the guys at my local Vans shop were also stoked over my Sidewinders on my 10' wide board and Indy 215's! Anyone who is contemplating purchasing these wheels you will be very satisfied you did. I recommend getting new 'pro style' bearings as well, to ensure you get the best less friction ride possible! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK GUYS!! Richard N. 52 years old in Orlando FL. REMEMBER to say no to drugs and yes to pizza!

Let me tell you. These are THE BEST wheels I've ever used on any board. I now have the pleasure of riding anywhere. I've done extensive research on these because I thought they were too good to be true. The crazy thing about them is if I have enough momentum I can even ride through grass. (Trust me I've tried.) I can't see myself with out these wheels. I strongly recommend them to everyone. To prove I bought these and I'm not somebody just trying to screw a customer, here's my modified board. ;)

First, I haven't had the wheels long enough to give them a fare performance review, but I can say a couple things. First, the wheels have a cool humming sound. There is less surface area in contact with the road and above 15 mph they get a little squirrley and feel like they want to drift. At slower speeds they do have a lot of grip and work great mounted on a carving board. I haven't had the opportunity to try them on wet pavement yet. I'm not sure I would make this purchase based on performance alone. Honestly, I bought these wheels for looks and for looks alone they're worth the coin. They look amazing! Congrats to the inventor! For looks and originality alone, I really like these wheels. Think about it, it's hard to find anything these days with some originality, much less a wheel. I have a Sectore 9 Striker ll sidewinder that I sanded and painted a dragonfly on. It's original and I wanted a cool set of wheels to finish it off. Very unique indeed. I think orange would look better, don't you? These wheels kick ____! :)

These Shark Wheels were the perfect addition to the custom cruiser I built. I highly recommend them for anyone looking for a fast, smooth, comfortable ride. They perform well and look great, well worth the price.

First off the install on the board, though different in shape of a standard wheel they function exactly the same on install and have no issues fitting on standard trucks as long as their size listed is what you generally use. Second is functionality and deliver on promises; I have had the wheel for a few weeks and have tested them through rain as well as on dry surfaces. They function about the same as a standard wheel in dry conditions with slight better handling in cornering. When raining or wet outside they have an improved grip on concrete but this will not translate to wet wooden surfaces, still an improvement over standard wheels at this durometer.lastly is that Aesthetically, they are pleasing to the eye both in color and design the material and colors used for the product produce a good affect and seem to intrigue people when they see it is a much weirder shape than a standard wheel.

Wow, I didn't know reinventing the wheel was probable, I have been persuaded otherwise!I notice the difference as soon as I rode out of my garage. I was a tad skeptical at first on the shape, but I have fallen in love with these wheels.Everything is so smooth now, for me this fits my style more.Not only does it look amazing it works far better than my old set.To give you some perspectives...Imagine putting summer tires on your car, sure they will grip a whole lot better, but they have a far firmer ride.In the case of the shark wheels, image it being similar to a high performance all season tire. Sure you lose a bit of grip but at the same time, they provide a safer ride everywhere else.They can grip in the rain/dirt/sand far better than the normal solid wheels.The groves in these wheels help repel road matters out from under instead of gliding over them.In conclusion, I am very happy with the purchase and recommend this to my friends.I wouldn't get these as sliding wheels, though; they are rather expensive, and I would not feel comfortable destroying these wheels.I enjoy writing reviews and sharing my thoughts on this product. I always read other people's review before buying most items. If you have any questions about the product or usage, please let me know and I will answer them to the best of my ability.

Had these on fire three months so far and they make for a great ride

These things look odd but work great. No longer are pebbles and small rocks going to equal scrapes or worse. These things just blast right over em.

awesome product. Very user friendly, especially for new skaters

Good grip even on loose train (Sand covered pavement/wet pavement) smooth roll and great grip/cornering on dry/clean pavement.... (review after six months of riding on these wheels numerous years on other wheels/Smooth wheels of varying compounds)

I've been using these wheels almost exclusively for about 5 months now. Let me say, these are probably the best wheels you will ever cruise on. At 70mm they are a great size for going over cracks, bumps, and generally anything that would otherwise stop you. At a 78a durometer, they are soft enough that the ride is considerably more comfortable and stable than your standard longboard wheels. Combine these with the sine wave shape of these wheels and you have the smoothest ride you could hope for on a skateboard. These wheels are fit for rain and shine. Though your bearings might object to riding in the rain, these wheels certainly won't be the reason you would stop. The aforementioned combination of shape, size, and softness means puddles are no longer a threat to you. Additionally, since these wheels are so smooth, it means that you can achieve great speeds even if your bearings are totally ruined. (Side note: these wheels are absolutely great for downhilling since they can give you such high speeds). On the note of speed, these wheels give me some of the best speed I've ever had while skating (and that's across multiple different types of bearings). Now, I'm not sure I'm comfortable saying they're the fastest wheels you'll buy, since honestly, the speed is comparable to any wheel of a similar size and durometer. What I can say, however, is that the shape of these wheels gives them the edge over any traditional wheel. My reason for saying this is that I have 70mm, 80a longboard wheels that I used before these and they would get tripped up by the usual suspects: pebbles, twigs, crosswalk bumps, some of the gnarlier sidewalk cracks. With these wheels having a sine wave shape, these objects (obviously with the exception of the more severe obstructions) are no longer something to be feared. They will simply give you a bump, or just get thrown out of your path by the sine shape. As for grip on the road, Shark wheels have an exceptional grip on surfaces, even in wet conditions. You will feel minimal, if any slippage at all while you speed through parking lots, sidewalks, and just about any other hard, even-ish ground surface. Now, these wheels have only a couple shortcomings. These wheels make the claim that they can go through gravel, sand and water. Like I said, they can go through water reasonably well for a wheel, though the deeper puddles (ones that are high enough that they make contact with your axle nut) will definitely cause you to slow down, if not bring you to a sudden stop. The same can be said for gravel. Small bits of gravel spread apart won't be much of a problem but larger bits could definitely be a danger to you. As for sand, the advertising is misleading. You wont be shredding through the beach any time soon. Any patch of sand that's maybe a foot or less could possibly be suitable to go through, but any longer than that and you're probably better off walking. Aside from those, the other false claim is that these wheels can slide. They are definitely not made for sliding. At 78a they're just too grippy to pull off any sliding with ease. Even after wearing through them for 5 months they still don't slide well at all. Aside from those critiques I really don't have any other negative thoughts on these wheels. Overall, I'd give these wheels more recommendation than any other wheel I've used. I only wish Shark would come out with a larger wheel than 70mm just for an even smoother ride.

The wheels are amazing go's over bumps like there not even there it's been a few weeks and I'm liking them still I highly recommend these wheels

theyre wheels alright! They move alright!

Must have for a boarder

Pros{Induces compliments on style from pretty women.Marginally better for going over light sand/dirt than flat wheels.Mine came with some awesome bearings abec shivers because I bought a Beercan Board/Shark wheel complete board.They look cool till they get dirty.}Cons{Ugly injection molding seams everywhere. Lines in the grooves and huge nubs on the back of wheels.The sine waves are apt to collect dirt and other ickiness.The sand/dirt traction goes only as deep as the grooves. 1mm more than that and you will be thrown. So basically only good for a pissant amount of dust.Wears quickly or the diameter is off. Mine seem to be 67mm not 70. I have both 67 hawgs, and 70mm Stimulus Orangatangs. Smaller than Orangatangs and same size as Hawgs.Weird vibration when riding on flat surface. Which I find annoying.They do not come in 80-85mm sizes.Horrible marketing hype. Hurray! I put quasi treads on skateboard wheels! They are so awesome and amazing and do everything better! The way they are pushed makes it sound like they could even save little Timmy from the well, or convince the great Kim Jun Un to spare all us mere mortals.I mean whoopty doo. Automotive and bicycle tire manufacturers have been making thread for over a century. Treads are great, but be reasonable. They made an interesting design. Play on that, not gimmicks.If they were the reinvention of the wheel, Formula 1 would have been all over them. Well maybe before F1 went all wimpy, SJW (social justice warrior), metrosexual like.}These are good wheels, but not great wheels. The huge injection nubs makes them ugly and look cheap. They are also not noticeably better, in my experience, than any other wheel I have. Despite my love for my Orange 85 Orangatang Caguamas, I would be willing to buy a set or two of these if they came in 80-85mm and did not look like they came out of a 25c vending machine with those ugly unrefined molding nubs.

Works like you would imagine! I love all the comments on the square wheels and I can feel the ride being smoother!

There okay not the best honestly, go over most things, not catching the speed that i wana go no matter how much pushing i do

They are awesome, and are a lot better than traditional! They are still a longboard wheel and not a miracle when it comes to a bumpy road or rocks and shells.

I got these a year ago and rode them a few times in the rain and I didn't feel like I was going to fall, even when I rode them through large puddles. Even when it snowed and people put that salt on the ground, and rode through it, I just glided through with ease.Will get another pair later when I get some money.So glad I bought these wheels.Might try and ride down a hill to see how they are, but not right now.

Absolutely love them night and day difference i will never go back to regular wheelz ever

Son loves these wheels. They enable him to better ride over rough terrain and cracks in sidewalks and streets. They look cool with his board too which is a real bonus. Additionally, it was very easy to change out his old wheels with these new ones.

Awesome wheels daughter was a little scptic but it's her go to know, she loves them

Smooth and fast

I put these on my white wave warrior longboard and my whole family has no words for how good they are. I do get a lot of questions about why they are shaped weirdly, but that's no bad thing. People think they're very cool.

I'm happy with this purchase

Took a little bit to get use to the sound they make when turning, otherwise exactly what i expected. Rides slightly slower then my regular flats but way less resistance when going over cracks, rocks, shallow sand,ect

Honestly I doubted them at first and took a chance because the reviews looked good but I doubt them no longer! These wheels are a must in any skaters arsenal for cruising!

These wheels ride smoothly and I haven't had any issue with water or debris on the roads. They also make a great conversation piece because they look square from some angles.

They are the best wheels! Make my daughter's long board fly!!!!

Just what the skate doc ordered! (purchased for my teenage son)

Nice wheels if you wanna ride along bumps, cracks, crappy roads and sidewalks. Also rolls a bit more on dirt than my standard wheels. If you wanna slightly smoother ride, I'd recommend them. Otherwise they're nothing to crack open your piggy bank in a hurry for just luxury wheels in my opinion.

Son loves them

Game changer!! I couldn't possibly go back to regular wheels. It makes all surfaces feel nice and it kicks rocks out the way opposed to them stopping you. Easily a 5 star rating!!

Exactly what I ordered. The wheels had some excess material off to the side, but this had no effect on the wheel itself--just a mild aesthetic blip. The wheels go over all terrain as said in its description. It's awesome going through sand/grass patches as if it were concrete. Thinking about buying another set for my nickleboard!

Arrived pretty fast and works great.My Grandson likes them.

I was under the impression that these wheels would allow me to skateboard with sharks (as the name implies) but I soon as I tried, they started to circle around me and then stole the wheels. SUper dissapointed, wouldnot buy again

These wheels are pretty great not the best but here's what I learned from riding with them with super reds bearings in.•They slide•Great acceleration•Not meant for speed but can get pretty good speed.

Can go over a driveway way filled with pebbles and it's doesn't slow down nearly as much as a normal set of wheels

Great

I love my shark wheels! I was curious how they would ride, because of the funky look, but they are a incredibly smooth ride. I haven't gotten caught on anything either while out cruising. I go right over rocks and sticks. The cracks in the pavement are hardly noticeable. My favorite thing about these wheels though is the traction I get when carving down hills. I feel so in control when riding. It also feels like there is less resistance from friction. Probably because there is less surface area actually touching the pavement with the unique design. Absolutely love the product.

Works as advertised

Ride is not different from ordinary wheels.Look very cool though ... and enables riding over small rocks and pebbles with ease (I have gone down many times due to an un-noticed rock or pebble).

great wheels noticed the difference right a way! don't think there worth $60 more like $40 or $45 but like them a lot!

These are nearly the best 50 dollars I've ever spent. Before these, I had the worst wheels that wouldn't go over anything. And these wheels are so freakin smooth it's insane. I've gone over some pretty big sticks and rocks with these and it never completely stops and jolts you off your board. I was reluctant spending 50 bucks on skateboard wheels but trust me it's sooooooooo worth it!

Great buy !! Smooth ride !!!

The wheels are ok and usable on irregular terrain. In wet conditions works well and better than smooth wheels. For surfskate I prefer smooth in any way in dry conditions. Good product.

I got the wheels early, rides amazing great product

These wheels are absolutely insane but I'm a bigger guy and they feel like I'm riding on a pillow of air they are awesome and I don't know what else to say about them because I'm a newb..But whoa!!..:)

Awesome wheels. Compared to my previous 76mm 78a conventional wheels they are way better. Carving the traction feels better. They break a little earlier in the turn but the break is gentle and progressive. Very confidence inspiring. Ability to roll over gravel is amazing. I dont even try to avoid little pebbles any more. Rolling speed is excellent.

The wheels seem decent. They were cut poorly from the mold though and had a lot of excess material I needed to shave off. The paint was already falling off the wheels before I opened the package. Just touching the wheel will pull off the paint, so that's kind of a bummer because I liked the design. Bearings popped in easy.

Found some videos on youtube about these and they really do live up to the hype. Was skeptical at first but after skating with these for a couple weeks, I don't think I'll use any other wheels from now on.

surprisingly legit

They feel so smooth along with the trucks

SWEET! This is the icing on the cake for my custom deck. They look even better in person.

theses wheels are smooth and fast!

Ride quality goes up 1000% best set of wheels I have owned in a long time. Paired these with some Sidewinders and never doubted their performance.

Great

As promised!! Haven't hit a crack and felt it since!

grandson was very pleased with this Christmas gift

I bought this as a Christmas gift for my college-aged son who wanted wheels that could go over all types of bumps and grooves on the street and sidewalks on campus. He tried them out in our neighborhood and LOVES them! They look square from the pic, but if you look at them directly from the side, they're perfectly round. Don't let the pics fool you!

used these on my mini long board. i have plantar faciitis, and these help with the rough sidewalks in my neighborhood.

I love these wheels. They seem to be wearing rather quickly but they are the smoothest wheels i have ever ridden. They ride so nicely and i have gotten my friends to switch to them after riding them.

Smooth ride. I really enjoy using these wheels on my longboard and will be ordering more in the future.

Game changer right here, these carve so smooth, you can really feel the difference!

I'm fairly new to boarding, but I do like these wheels alright. They are solid and predictable on the slide, but to me they have a bit of a rough feel at certain times, like a slight vibration. I'll probably go with sector 9 racing formula next, but the shark wheel does have appeal.

these are the most durable and sturdy wheels I've ever rode on

These are awesome! They look so cool and work great!

awesome

I bought these for my 13-year-old grandson for his birthday. He put them on his longboard right away and loves them.

Listen up! If you are a longboarder and HATE hitting little balls and rocks and faceplanting these are the wheels for you. They are also incredibly efficient for a long distance longboarder. I longboard on flat surfaces in central florida, I think the efficiency comes from the amount of contact to the road surface. I am not saying this as hype, you will notice the difference the first time you use them. The ability to avoid debris comes from the simple fact that small items go up between the tread so the board keeps moving, you will feel a bump but it keeps moving without tossing you to the ground in pain. My local sk8 store just thought they were novel, NOPE they are a lifesaver. I just recently bought another set for a new board I picked up the stock wheels were nothing compared to these.

Bought for my brother who makes long boards. He has had me order shark wheels a few times and loves them!! They work great for riding in all kinds of terrain and you can get different colors to go with different styles of boards. Awesome shark wheels!!! Highly recommend

smoothest wheals ever

Great product! Very smooth ride.

Awesome wheels, rolls smooth and fast. Quite a conversation starter too! As a guy who has been skating over 35 years I can approve the Shark Wheel!

They good wheels ,a little funky but ride smooth and fast.better when going over small rocks and stuff on the road ,doesn't grab and throw you off as much .

very awsome and cool

Pretty amazing. Pot holes, cracks, beach, you name it !!

These are awesome wheels !! They roll smooth and fast. The only reason these didn't get a 5out of five is because the color was not as pictured

FUN AND SOLID THEY ARE REALLY ROUND!!

A pretty soft wheel, rolls incredibly well! I use my skateboard to get around town and I ride around VERY easily now. I use to work up a sweat skating around but on these wheels I can make it downtown in about half as many pushes!!! These wheels totally blew my mind.For someone using a skateboard to get around on their board I HIGHLY recommend these wheels.

My son had broken one of his wheels on his skateboard. He asked if I would order these for him and he absolutely loves them. Great purchase.

Great wheels

Everyone asks me how my board can roll with square wheels, and i laugh and say, 'better than yours'

I can't even begin to describe how smooth these are over rough surfaces. Simply amazing.

My son loves them. Good grip and smooth ride. Getting more for his other board.

  Crazy smooth, crazy fast. Got my Shark wheels today, bolted them on and bombed some hills. I'm super impressed with the design and feel of these wheels. They roll like butter, smooth ride on concrete, black top, with some gravel mixed in. Highly recommend.

Greatest wheels that I ever purchased for my longboard awesome ridiculously fast

cool wheels. They give a smooth ride. not much to them though. barely notice a difference,

These wheels are excellent wheels for faster riding down a bumpy road and sliding. I could clearly notice that the board didn't shake as much as it did with my other wheels. AND my other wheels were supposed to be one of the fastest riding wheels for downhill long boarding. I am very satisfied, even though if you slide too much with this wheel it will wear out faster than a normal wheel, I usually do downhill boarding so this purchase was really worth it. And I love the yellow color on it too, and the size 70mm is perfect for me.

The difference is noticeable. Compared to regular wheels it's much smoother over cracks and bumps. Will definitely buy again!

These are amazing, you don't lose any momentum going over rough terrain, any skater would be lucky to have such great wheels 10/10 would by again

According to my son, great wheels!

My son lives them

I purchased the wheels to try something different for my son who is learning to ride a skate board.I received them defected. I asked for a refund and they said they would send another set for free.I said OK, The new wheels arrived on time and work great. My son thinks they are weird but he doesn'tknow the difference. They are smooth with better grip and much more safer wheels for my kids! They were equal price toother wheels.

Sweet

On time, very satisfied !!!!.. Mounted on longboard ..EASY..!!! ( bearings separate order).. Thanks again!
