First of all, speaking of wheel brands
SPITFIRE >
it might be?
We have always had a lineup of dozens of types and have continued to support skaters' feet. Among them, the popularity of " FOURMULA FOUR" (commonly known as F4) overwhelms other wheels.
I've been using the F4 for a while now, so I'd like to take a closer look at its appeal.
・What is the appeal of the popular SPITFIRE F4?
Although it looks the same as a regular wheel, "F4" actually uses SPITFIRE's proprietary urethane material . So what is the uniquely developed "urethane material", according to SPITFIRE?
・Abrasion resistance (resistant to abrasion, long life)
・Lightweight (approximately 10% lighter than CLASSIC of the same size)
・Speed (hard to lose on road surfaces such as asphalt, hard to lose speed)
・Puncture resistance (high strength against punctures that cause the wheel to chip)
is mainly raised.
> What is it like when you actually use it?
As for my impressions, the first thing I noticed after actually using it was the comfort of the grip . It grips the road firmly and is ``hard to roll up'' against skidding movements such as power slides.
However, it doesn't have a ``too strong grip'' like soft wheels, but slides firmly. In other words
Grip strength that prevents you from skidding easily
It may seem like a contradiction in terms, but this impression was perfect.
and it's certainly light
You can definitely feel that the skateboard becomes easier to maneuver from the tail hit.
It may also have high puncture resistance, but I have had many punctures. . Even if a power slide feels good, if you overdo it, you'll get a flat tire.
Actually, I wasn't aware of the difference in wheels until the F4 came out. I won't say that ``F4 is great'' because it's a personal preference, but it is true that ``you can feel the difference by changing the wheels .''
Nowadays, the F4 population is so large. If you are interested, why not try using it once?
