Rolling in with a 66mm diameter, are the Powell Peralta 82a Snakes, which are ready to be put sideways with their wicked blue urethane!
The Powell Peralta Downhill Team has been busy in the RnD department developing a totally new SSF formula in 82a that will further widen the offerings from Powell-Peralta. This 82a formula will be grippier than the 75a SSF you’ve come to rely on while offering a more sugary and in the pavement feel. Being 82a, this wheel will also resist chunking and chipping and is a superior choice for dancing, freestyle, or those who want a bit more engagement with the road.
We believe the 6 ply option to be ideal for riders under 170 pounds. If you’re on the high end of this, we recommend picking this board ONLY if you’re intending to ride primarily on the zero degree rear option, and you want it to flex. You will likely need to be around 150 lbs or under to use the far rear option.
Our 8 ply XL is not only thicker and stiffer, but it is also a touch wider than the 6 and 7 ply options. Our max width on the XL is 9.5”, which is 0.3” wider than the more slender options. We are thinking about our XL riders, and often times, these riders have larger feet.
