Sayshun Plasma A+

69mm
81a
Centerset.

So Ive had these wheels for about 3 months, as long as my Saltflat and I used them for freeride, but they had nice grip. My first Impressions were that these were basically exactly like metro motions, except not worn in at first glance. They are center set, round lipped and have that same smooth center as the metro motions.
Now I wasn't a fan of metro's. They were uncontrollably Icey for myself! The opposite of these Sayshuns!
These wheels were very buttery to start with and made very little noise and felt similar to Abec 11 Freerides. But once i got them down to about 63-65mm, they started to make more noise and chatter which I found disappointing. They left very little thane and lasted me a long time which I found different to metro motions also.
These wheels were also grippy enough to grip through turns really well, I even managed to hit 70km/h on these bad boys when I took a trip to the hills. I was told it was foolish, but I didn't care, I had to try! And well I am still here and they didn't slide out at all.

All in all I was very happy to have bought these and gave them a shot, they have a predictable slide, good control at speed and is a favorite freeride wheel in my book.

  1. Thanks for the awesome review and honesty! We developed these wheels around the same time Metro Motions were coming out so unfortunately we sometimes get a bad wrap but it really comes down to the urethane formula we put into these:
