Skateboard Cruiser Wheels & Penny Board Wheels

Skateboard Cruiser Wheels Ensure a Smoother Journey

The design of skateboard cruiser wheels allows for effortless travel around town. In contrast to skateboard wheels, cruiser and penny board wheels are larger and softer, offering a smooth ride even on uneven surfaces. These wheel attributes provide greater speed and excellent grip.

For novices, opting for cruiser skateboard wheels is an excellent introduction to board sports. They are viewed as being easier to manoeuvre than skateboard wheels, and learning to cruise can serve as a helpful step before venturing into a skatepark.

Both cruiser and penny board wheels are crafted from polyurethane. You might observe that certain penny and cruiser wheels are marked as SHR. This indicates Super High Rebound, which results in a more springy sensation when riding.

What Diameter Cruiser Wheels Should I Choose?

The diameter of the wheel required is largely determined by the length of your deck. With longer decks, larger wheels are advisable. Although smaller wheels can be used with a longer deck, it will not provide the optimum riding experience.

Additionally, selecting the wheel shape is critical. Cruiser and penny wheels offer both sharp-lip and round-lip options. Sharp-lip shapes deliver the best grip, while round-lip shapes are ideal for carving.

Lastly, wheel choice depends on the rider’s weight and individual preferences. Similar to wheels for skateboarding and longboarding, they are rated on the durometer scale, where harder wheels receive higher numbers.
