Why buy Fracture Skateboard Wheels?
What is the durometer of these wheels?
Most Fracture wheels fall between 98A and 101A hardness. Harder wheels (100A+) slide easier and maintain speed on smooth surfaces, while slightly softer wheels (98A) offer better grip for street skating and absorb small vibrations.
Are they good for beginners?
Yes. Fracture wheels balance quality and affordability, making them ideal for newcomers. They offer consistent performance and are less likely to flat spot than cheaper alternatives. Beginners can learn flip tricks, grinds and ramps confidently on these wheels.
Do they work on rough surfaces?
Hard wheels like 99A are best on smooth concrete or indoor parks. For rougher terrain or street surfaces, consider softer wheels or swap out to a 92A–95A hardness to improve comfort and grip.
Do they come with bearings?
Fracture wheels generally don’t include bearings. You’ll need to buy and install bearings separately. Standard 608 bearings fit these wheels, and using quality bearings improves speed and roll.
Are there different colours or graphics?
Yes. Fracture wheels often feature simple graphics or solid colours that match their decks. Some models include limited edition artwork or pro rider logos for added style.
How do I maintain them?
Rotate wheels periodically to ensure even wear. Clean dirt and grime off the urethane with mild soap and water. Replace the wheels when they develop flat spots, cracks or when the diameter wears down significantly.
Can I use them on cruiser boards?
They’re designed for street and park decks but can be used on cruiser boards if you prefer a harder wheel. Note that cruisers often use softer, larger wheels for smoother rides, so assess if Fracture wheels match your cruising needs.
