Longboard Wheel Review: Abec11 Flywheels

The Abec11 Flywheels are larger wheels with sizes 76mm, 83mm, 90mm and a massive 97mm. With a softer set of duros, 75a, 78a, and 81a. Now these wheels will grip like super glue, you'll be flying past others who slow for corners. You can put these on a carving board or a commuter board and easily roll over any cracks, offering a smooth and easy ride. These wheels were named accordingly as 'flywheels' are metal discs meant to spin for a long time by using momentum. These wheels act in the same exact way, you'll get more out of your push, whether it be pushing to the store, or pushing past the competition. Now I can't say these are so great for sliding. So don't be thinking you'll put these on your nemmy and leave thane marks all up and down your local hills. At higher speeds these will slide for predrifts or shutdowns, but you'll need to push it. These wheels are a little pricy in the higher sizes but if you have the money, get a set, you won't regret it. Ride'm on your commuter for the most out of your push and to easily ride over cracks and bumps. If you love carving hard down hills, put a set on there and you'll never slide out. Finally, if you're a speed demon who wants to grip all his corners but still have the ability to slide for safety and speed control, these wheels will fit perfectly on your downhill board. Remember, 75a will not slide well, 78a will slide, but you'll need to push it, and if you're a little heavier of a person like me, these would work like the 81a. The 81a will slide well at speed and still grip corners safely. Another small trend in these wheels is to make cutouts or ruts for rain riding, so if you're looking for a wheel to race in the rain with, look no further.

Because these are a larger wheel. You may need risers if put on a Bellyracer, Voodoo, 'Speedy Topmount' Shaped Board or Bamboo Pinner/Bamboo Ripper Shaped board. But, they'll work fine on a Evo, Nemesis, Dropspeed, or other cutout type board.
