Product Description

Why not try wheels that spin faster, provide a very smooth ride on any terrain, and have better grip than most others? 

Specifications:
  • Perfect for surfskate boards 30'' and longer (choose Shark Wheel 60mm California Rolls for surfskate boards 30'' and under)
  • Brand new DNA formula (Over 500 verified purchase 5-star reviews)
  • Excellent for cruising, carving, freeride, downhill on all longboards
  • Fast, soft, and superior grip
  • Best wheel in the world over rough terrain (pebbles, debris, sand, water, etc)
  • Made in California, USA
  • All DNA formula wheel purchases come in sets of 4 wheels in total

Rough Terrain. The best wheel over rough terrain. The sine wave shape tends to kick pebbles and small objects out of the way. Also the best wheel over wet conditions. Scientifically proven by San Diego State University, Mechanical Engineering Department. 

Approach Angle. Shark Wheels perform similar to how drivers intuitively know to go over a speed bump at an angle to reduce the shock in their car. The unique 30-degree approach angle of the Shark Wheel reduces shock and deflects objects due to its approach angle. A normal wheel is a steamroller and tries to go over obstacles in its way. Shark Wheels tend to move around objects 

Lasts Longer. Scientifically tested to last up to 50% longer when cruising. Shark Wheel has multiple center points compared to one center point on a traditional wheel. Scientifically proven by San Diego State University, Mechanical Engineering Department. Flatspot resistant

Better Slide Control. The Shark Wheel actually spins as it slides acting like a car's antilock brakes. The 3 lips of the Shark Wheel compared to 1 lip on a traditional wheel give predictable slides. Also, slides are easier to perform due to less surface area in contact with the ground. Less friction to initiate a slide

Lightning Fast. 57% less rolling resistance than a traditional wheel. Scientifically proven by San Diego State University, Mechanical Engineering Department

Media. As seen on Shark Tank, the Discovery Channel, FedEx Commercials, FOX.

Technology in Other Industries. Shark Wheels are used by many Fortune 500 companies in other industries for their performance advantages.

Wheel Tip!

When you add new wheels to your board it is also the right moment to get new bearings. Bearings make sure your wheels keep spinning and give you a smooth ride.

FAQ

Shark Wheel Lava Red DNA 72MM, 78A Longboard Wheels - Key Questions Answered

What is the Shark Wheel Lava DNA 72mm 78A best for?

It’s best for commuting, campus riding, and cruising rough streets where cracks and grit are common. The 72mm size keeps speed up, while the 78A urethane helps smooth out chatter on imperfect pavement.

Is this a good choice if I’m newer to longboarding?

Yes, if you want more confidence on uneven ground and less vibration underfoot. The softer durometer and Shark Wheel tread can make daily riding feel more predictable than harder, narrower cruiser wheels.

How does the ride feel compared with standard round wheels?

It feels more planted and less twitchy over seams, grit, and rough concrete. The shark-tooth profile is designed to handle contact differently, which can make imperfect surfaces feel calmer.

Would 72mm wheels be too big for casual cruising?

Not if you want a smoother roll and better speed retention between pushes. This size is a strong middle ground for riders who want comfort on real streets without moving to a huge wheel.

Why pick these over cheaper cruiser wheels?

You’re paying for better rough-road comfort and Shark Wheel’s unique geometry, not just a basic smooth shape. That matters most if your routes include cracked sidewalks, boardwalks, or mixed pavement.

review of Punked Old School Longboard Complete -Route 66 Series - The Run
Steven B. Verified
12/30/2024
Kiddo got this board for Christmas, for us to ride on Route 66. Board is good quality. No name trucks, but they function well for her. She likes the Punked Speed Series wheels. We did put reds super bearings in it. The factory bearings do not roll near as well. For the price, for a complete, it is well worth it. This is our second Punked Longboard, and both have served their purpose. I would buy from this company, and Vendor again, without question.

Skater since 1974, pool pipe and skatepark, I've ridden it all but these Carver C7 trucks were a revelation. Best for slow speed styling and generally hanging some art on mellow terrain. Definitely a kick and worth trying.
