Compact Dragon. Asymmetrical shape. Fast off the push and smooth over everything.
The Powell Peralta Nano Rat Dragon Formula Wheels at 54mm x 88A are the tightest, quickest-accelerating wheel in the Nano Rat range — a compact Dragon Formula build that sits lower to the ground, spins up faster, and responds more sharply underfoot than the larger 56mm options. At 88A, the urethane is soft enough to absorb rough terrain and keep you rolling where a hard wheel would bounce and chatter, but the Dragon Formula ensures you're not giving up slide performance or speed retention to get there. This is the 88A for skaters who want comfort and control without the bulk of a bigger wheel.
The asymmetrical AV6 Nano-Rat shape runs the same proven setup as the rest of the range — radial outer edge, lock-in radial inner edge, centre-set bearings — delivering a wider contact patch and a more stable feel underfoot without altering the balance of your deck. At 54mm, this wheel suits a wide range of deck widths and setups, from street-focused builds that need a softer wheel for rough local spots to all-terrain rigs that want something nimble and low. Dragon Formula at any hardness delivers 18–20% higher rebound than conventional wheels, which means this 54mm 88A rolls faster than anything comparable on the market. Small wheel. No small performance.

About Powell Peralta
Powell Peralta was founded in Santa Barbara, California in 1978 by Stacy Peralta and George Powell, and went on to become one of the most influential skateboard companies in history — the home of the Bones Brigade, a team that included Tony Hawk, Steve Caballero, Rodney Mullen, Lance Mountain, and Mike McGill. While other brands have coasted on heritage, Powell Peralta has consistently invested in materials science and wheel technology, with Dragon Formula representing the most significant urethane innovation the brand has ever produced. Decades of racing and skating knowledge, compressed into a wheel that genuinely changes what terrain is skateable.
