Overview
POWELL SKATEBOARDS
Designed and specifically formulated to give you grip when you want it, but that perfect slide when you need it. The Powell Peralta Dragon Formula Wheels are made with Powell's new Dragon Formula. Manufactured to dominate the streets and hold up like no other. Skater engineered and designed in the U.S. in Santa Barbara, California. Wheels sold in set of four.
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 DRAGON FORMULA:
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, making dragons special and unique.
Dragon Formula has taken us a decade of development to perfect. This formula has amazing speed, a smooth ride, unequalled grip-to-slide ratio, vibration damping, and extra-long life. Dragon Formula is groundbreaking, makes skating more fun, and broadens 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™.
SPEED: Dragons are very fast because DF-97A is super high rebound, an industry leading 18-20% higher than hard wheels. This higher rebound means you won't lose speed in bowls or parks the way you would with an ordinary 97A wheel. Dragons allow you to roll much smoother and faster on rough streets and sidewalks… even in places where you normally have to walk your board.
GRIP & SLIDE: Dragons slide on both rough and smooth terrain when you need it to. This is because Dragon Formula is not a normal urethane formulated to be a mid-90's wheel. It is an innovative formulation developed by our R&D team over a 10-year period to optimize and fine-tune it to perfection. This is why no other wheel can perform like Dragons. Their slideability and grip-to-slide ratio come from a unique blend of high-performance materials, rather than using weaker urethane with less grip and durability to get the wheel to slide.
DURABILITY: Dragon Formula wheels are not only smooth, fast, and slidable, they are also among the longest-lasting wheels on the market. So, Dragons are not only fun to skate, but are also a great value compared to a standard low cost, low performance wheel. Choose Dragon Formula wheels and have more fun skating even longer.
