ABOUT NANO-RATS:
Nano-Rats put both sides of the wheel to work, making skating easier and more fun. It has the outer edge you are used to, a lock-on inner edge, and center set bearings to give you a wheel that will upgrade your ride without changing the balance of your set up. Halfway between Nano-Cubics and traditional symmetrical wheels, Nano-Rats provide an easy way to make the Dragon Formula work even better for you.
ABOUT THE 88A DRAGON FORMULA:
Our new Dragon 88’s are the softest, smoothest, and fastest members of the Dragon Formula family, offering an unequalled ability to grip and slide. DF-88’s help you glide over rough city streets on your way to a skate spot, gripping when you need it, and sliding with the ease of wheels 10 points harder!
With over 82% rebound, DF-88’s perform like wheels 10 points softer, making them the fastest 88A wheel available. This combination of speed, smoothness, grip and slide cushions rough terrain, allowing you to roll farther with each push, as if you were skating on smoother pavement.
As the third member of the revolutionary Dragon Formula family, DF-88 joins the 93A and 97A options. Dragons let you fine-tune your ride for any terrain while still maintaining the ability to slide, eliminating the need to switch between soft and hard wheels when skating your favorite spots. They make skating more fun, easier on your body, and are sure to become your go-to wheels for all-around skating.
Dragon Formula™ is Powell Peralta's latest next generation polyurethane breakthrough. Dragons are mid hardness 93A and 97A wheels that smooth out rough terrain. Now you can roll over previously unskateable terrain on your way to a skate spot, and then skate it as well or better than before with the same wheels. This is because dragons slide like 99A & 101A wheels and still grip when needed. This makes dragons very special and unique.
Dragon Formula has taken us a decade of development to perfect. they have amazing speed, a smooth ride, unequalled grip to slide ratio, vibration damping, and extra-long life. this formula is groundbreaking and will make skating more fun and expand the skate terrain available to dragon riders.
To expand the fun and performance of this revolutionary new formula, we offer Dragons in both traditional symmetrical shapes and two new asymmetrical shapes, Nano-Cubics™ and Nano-Rats™.
Grip & Slide: Dragons slide on both rough and smooth terrains, and also grip when you need it. This is because Dragon Formula is not just an ordinary mid-90’s wheel formula. It has been developed over a ten year period to optimize and fine tune it to perfection. No other wheel can do what these Dragons can.
Durability: Dragon Formula is not only smooth, fast and slidable, it is also durable. The slidability comes from its unique blend of high performance materials not by making the urethane weak so it will slide as the urethane wears away, creating flats spots. Dragons are very long lasting so they are not only better skating, they are a great value too.

★★★★★Joel R.After buying fake bones bearings off eBay from a different seller a long time ago I was skeptical on buying any more bearings online but I wanted to give eBay another chance and give this company a try. Shipping was fast and the bearings I received were definitely real this time. Definitely would shop online here again in the future.
