Powell Peralta SSF G-Slides Wheels Blue 4pk | 59mm / 82a

Powell Peralta SSF G-Slides Wheels Blue 4pk | 59mm / 82a

The softest G-Slide, for the smoothest roll on rough ground.

The blue 59mm G-Slide in 82a is the softest, widest take on Powell's all-terrain wheel. It's built for riders who want a regular deck to cruise like a soft-wheeled board: commuters, transition cruisers and anyone who skates rough local streets.

Poured in SSF Pro, the 82a urethane is soft and grippy, and the 44mm width adds stability. The extra diameter carries speed over cracks and keeps rolling between pushes, yet the wheel still breaks into a slide when you need to scrub speed.

About Powell Peralta

Powell Peralta was founded in 1978 by engineer George Powell and skater Stacy Peralta in Santa Barbara, California. Powell had already been baking his own urethane wheels and building his own boards since the mid 1970s, and in 1979 the pair formed the Bones Brigade, the team that included Ray "Bones" Rodriguez, Steve Caballero, Tony Hawk, Lance Mountain, Rodney Mullen, Tommy Guerrero and Mike Vallely.

Today Powell Peralta still puts a big focus on urethane research and its own wheel formulas. Dragon Formula covers street and park, while Soft Slide Formula (SSF) covers cruising, freeride and downhill. Riders pick Powell because the wheels last, roll fast and slide when you want them to, and because the brand has been part of skating for close to five decades.

FAQs

What are 82a G-Slides best for?
Cruising, commuting and carving on rough ground. The soft 82a urethane and 59mm size roll over cracks easily and grip in turns, while SSF lets them slide to control speed.

What does 82a mean?
82a is the hardness on the A scale, where lower is softer and grippier. 82a is soft enough to smooth out rough footpaths and grip in carves, and SSF urethane is made to slide when you want it to. Harder street wheels usually sit around 99a to 101a.

Will 59mm wheels fit my board or do I need risers?
On a popsicle deck with mid trucks, 59mm usually fits, but a 1/8" riser is a good idea for loose trucks or deep carving. On low trucks, use a 1/8" to 1/4" riser. Cruiser decks with wheel wells normally need nothing extra.

Do they come with bearings?
No. You get a set of 4 wheels with no bearings. Any standard 608 skateboard bearing fits, so you'll need a set of 8 (two per wheel), plus spacers if your bearings don't have them built in.
