Abec 11 66mm Strikers 88a

88a
66mm.
47mm Width.
Center Set.

These were my first real freeride wheel once i started learning what was a good wheel, and what wasn't. Once I found out that Round lipped wheels were the way to go, I found these Strikers and though higher duro must be better right?
Well that's not really the case in most instances, but i have to say these wheels were surprisingly smooth.
At 88a, the slide was still very long and quiet, but still had that classic thane wear factor, which I know all to well now. After about a month of freeride here and there they had been reduced to about 60mm. Now this is quite a lot of wear for an 88a wheel!
While i do love these wheels because of their smoooooooth slide and grip when you need it around corners, I was disappointed at how much they wore.

I would give the Freeride capabilities of the wheel 4/5, appearance 5/5(love the look of Abec 11 wheels :) ) and durability a 2.5/5.
