Powell Peralta G Slide Wheels Red | 56mm/85a
Red G-Slides: soft-wheel comfort on a street-sized wheel.
This is the 56mm, 85a G-Slide in red. It's for the skater who wants their regular board to handle rough footpaths, crusty parks and the ride to the spot, without swapping to a cruiser.
Powell designed the G-Slide from scratch around its Soft Slide Formula, chasing roll speed, slide control and life span. The 38mm wide, low-profile shape keeps the board nimble, while the softer urethane cushions vibration and grips until you ask it to drift.
Key Features
- SSF urethane: built for speed, long wear and controlled slides
- Compact 56mm size: keeps your deck low and quick to flick
- 85a hardness: absorbs cracks, pebbles and rough bitumen
- 38mm width: narrow enough for street, wide enough for grip
- Cored construction: supports the bearing and holds shape
- Bright red: easy to spot under any deck

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 G-Slide wheels best for?
Getting around on rough ground with a normal skateboard. They roll quietly, grip well in carves and slide when you push them, so they work for cruising, slappy curbs and mellow hills.
What does 85a mean?
85a is the hardness on the A scale. Lower numbers are softer and grippier, higher numbers are harder and slidier, and most street wheels sit around 99a to 101a. At 85a these G-Slides soak up cracks and rough bitumen, while the SSF urethane still lets them break into a slide.
What size wheel should I get?
56mm suits most street and park setups and needs no risers on mid trucks. If you mostly cruise and want more roll speed, the 59mm G-Slide carries momentum better but may need a 1/8" riser.
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.

Why Buy from Twelve Board Store
Twelve Board Store has been riders selling to riders since 2013. We are not a generic retail chain — we are a specialist board sports retailer built around genuine product knowledge, real rider experience and the kind of after-sales support that only comes from a team that actually uses the gear they sell.
Every brand we stock, we ride. Every recommendation we make comes from real experience — on the mountain, in the park, on the street, and on the road. When you call us, you talk to someone who has been on a snowboard at Hotham last weekend or a skateboard in the carpark this morning. That is the difference between buying from Twelve and buying from a warehouse with a website.
We offer services that no online-only retailer can match. Our in-store workshop handles snowboard waxing and tuning, boot heat moulding, electric skateboard and e-bike repairs and assembly, and warranty support handled in-house rather than shipped offshore to a call centre. If something goes wrong with your gear, we fix it. If your boots don't fit, we sort it. If you ordered the wrong size, we swap it — no questions asked.
Our showroom at 435A Bridge Road Richmond stocks the full range across snowboards, bindings, boots, skateboards, longboards, electric skateboards, e-bikes, outerwear and accessories. We offer free shipping Australia-wide on orders over $89, AfterPay and Zip for flexible payment, and fast dispatch so your gear arrives when you need it.
Over a decade in business. More than 1,000 reviews. The most trusted specialist board store in Melbourne. If you need advice before you buy, call us on 03 9421 2293, visit us in-store, or contact us online — we'll get you sorted.
