Want more grip? Welcome to the Ray Setae from DTC.  Established in 2006, DTC has steadily raised the bar with each of their new releases. Many of their products are ahead of the game by years. They’re revered for high-quality and their unflinching commitment to performance. Known as trailblazers of urethane and unique shapes, they definitely live up to the reputation.

The Ray Setae is a wheel built for grip. Over two years of development went into refining it towards that goal. They built on their already well known Victory concept of a big core with a wide contact patch and super-sized it. The result is a full 66mm of contact patch on a 71mm tall wheel. It doesn’t stop there though. These wheels incorporate other traction improvements as well.

4 fully supported lips provide extra surface area and keep you straight. The core is precision machined in house and designed to evenly support the entire wheel, ensuring even weight distribution and wear. The core is also offset. The Setae features DTCs speciality ‘thane, lasting 10-15x longer than others on the market. They’re not meant to be worn down like any other wheel; they’re meant to be kept skinned or scrubbed, used for Maryhill and long, winding grip courses.

Lastly, you may notice the ribs on the wheel. One of the most unique features of the Setae, they are designed to smooth out and keep you stable on the chunder. Novel idea.

The Ray Setae is 72mm in width and 71mm in diameter, and boasts a large contact patch of 66mm (split into two sections of 33mm). It also features 4 supported lips: 2 on the outside, and 2 on the inside. Hit the link to visit DTC and pick up a set!

Earlier this year Harfang released the Roman Candles, a fire throwing wheel based on their Absolute Freeride shape. They’re back with another Roman Candle release based on their popular downhill wheel, the Absolute!

The wheels measure 73MM tall with a wide 58MM contact patch. They’re available in Harfang’s 78a or 81a durometer Race Formula Urethane (RFU). The offset, Fiberglass Matrix (FGM) cores ensure you get lots of grip while you’re laying sparks.

When Harfang released the original Roman Candle they promised that more shapes would be on the way. Hit the link and grab a new set from Harfang’s Roman Candle offering in a downhill shape with some grip and just the right amount of slip!

New from Gravity House & Slide Perfect are performance rain wheels, the Redemptions. Slide Perfect was created thanks to a passion for longboarding and a need for affordable, performance longboard wheels. After months of research and more than a year in business, they’ve hit the mark!

The Redemptions are a new directional wheel designed specifically for use on wet roads. The horizontal grooves in the contact patch prevent hydroplaning by allowing water to escape, much like a car tire. Vertical grooves provide extra surface area during slide to help reduce and better control speed.

They’re poured in a 78a white ‘thane and measure 72MM tall x 65MM wide. The extra wide contact patch really helps in the wet environments. Each set includes 2 left and 2 right wheels.
