Pro Scooter Wheels

Enhance Your Pro Scooter with Superior Wheels

Explore a wide selection of new pro scooter wheels right here. You'll discover various widths, sizes, and an extensive range of styles to find the ideal pair for your scooter.

New wheels significantly impact your scooter's feel, performance, and responsiveness. Selecting the right wheels can refresh your scooter's feel entirely. Ensure your setup supports the wheels before purchasing. Below, we provide answers to frequently asked questions regarding pro scooter wheels.

Pro Scooter Wheels: Assessing Fitment

Two key size factors determine if a pro scooter wheel matches your setup: the diameter and width at the core. The standard size for pro scooter wheels is a diameter of 110 mm and 24 mm wide cores.

Wheel Diameter

If the diameter exceeds the maximum your deck and fork can accommodate, the wheels won't fit. Adequate clearance is necessary for rolling. A smaller diameter than the maximum won't cause issues.

⇒ Ensure your fork and deck can support the chosen wheel diameter.

Wheel Width

The core width must not surpass what the fork and deck can handle. Narrower wheels can utilize spacers if gaps appear with the fork.

⇒ Verify if your fork and deck can support the wheel's width.

12STD Wheels

12STD wheels necessitate a fork and deck that adhere to 12STD standards. This system involves a 12 mm axle and 6001 bearings, unlike conventional scooter wheels using 608 bearings and 8 mm axles.

⇒ Only opt for 12STD wheels if you're using a 12STD fork and deck.

Important Pro Scooter Wheel Attributes (and Their Riding Impact)

Several technical elements influence how new stunt scooter wheels affect your scooter's responsiveness.

Wheel Diameter

Larger wheels offer increased speed and stability
Smaller wheels provide lighter, more nimble handling

Wheel Width

Wider wheels ensure better grip
Narrower wheels increase speed but reduce grip

Wheel Profile

Flat profiles provide enhanced grip and stability
Narrow profiles deliver more speed and agility
Round profiles balance flat and narrow attributes

Core Material

Aluminum cores are robust and best for tricks
Nylon cores are lightweight, ideal for beginners and children (not suited for tricks)

Core Design

Solid core – The most durable but heaviest option
Hollow core – Offers strength and reduced weight compared to solid cores
Spoked core – Light and strong
Perforated core – Balances low weight with performance

If durability is crucial, choose a solid core. Otherwise, core choice is a matter of style preference.

Wheel Hardness

Harder urethane is longer lasting, offering less grip
Softer urethane grips better but wears quicker

The typical hardness range is 84A - 90A on the durometer scale.

Identifying the Need for New Pro Scooter Wheels

Worn wheels can hinder performance. If you're unsure about changing your pro scooter wheels, watch for these signs:

Rubber cracks
Flat spots
Core damage

These signs clearly indicate it's time for an upgrade. Replacing wheels at this stage enhances your scooter experience.

Those who ride their scooters daily might need to replace wheels every few months, while occasional riders can expect longer durability.

Is It Beneficial to Replace Both Scooter Wheels Simultaneously?

Replacing both wheels simultaneously maintains balance and assures uniform performance.

Replace both wheels if:

Both are worn or have flat spots
Consistent performance is desired between the front and rear
Switching to a different wheel type or hardness

Replace one wheel if:

Only one wheel is damaged
You're replacing it with the same wheel type

Do All Scooter Wheels Include Bearings?

Many stunt scooter wheels arrive with pre-installed bearings, easing installation and ready usage. Always review product specifications or images to confirm bearing inclusion.
