Riedell Zen Wheels - Quad Roller Skate Wheels - 4 Pack, 32mm x 62mm 85A

The colour is vibrant and they are well built. They are sold without bearings but I purchased Rollerbones 8mm bearings and installation was a literal snap. Very easy. Good value for the price. They made my old Chicago's that I purchased around 2007 look like new.A definite step up from the Chicago wheels. They have excellent roll and I am still getting used to them as they are faster than the Chicago original wheels.Only con is that they are heavier than the Chicagos, and that takes a bit adjusting to also.I would say that I am an intermediate skater, but these have me feeling like a beginner again, because of the hardness. But practice will change that quite quickly, I'm sure.If you are looking to step up your game from beginner wheels, these are for you.

I put these on my skates and went for a test run in my neighborhood. We don't have sidewalks so I was skating on the road and these wheels were great. They have the perfect amount of give for rough surfaces.

This wheel is great for beginners. Find yourself a smooth parking lot,or a nice tennis court/ basketball court and start smooth rolling.It's a great wheel for the price, toy can roll over any small rocks or pebbles and you won't really trip over them. The wheels have nice grip when learning new moves is amazing but you still have smooth rolling.

Writing this review as a beginner roller skater who hasn’t tried many wheels yet. I bought these to replace the wide derby wheels that came stock with my skates. Been skating with them daily for a month. The Zen Sonars are a decent wheel at a good price. Best surface is smooth concrete. They perform pretty good on the brushed finish concrete at my local park as well. Small gravel & small twigs aren’t really an issue but things get gnarly with bigger debris. I don’t like them on rough asphalt or the wide gaps on my local sidewalks. I don’t have great cushions on my skates so better cushions may help assist the wheels with less vibration, more smoothness on those surfaces. They seem very durable. I do wonder how a softer 78a wheel would perform outside compared to these hybrid wheels.

I been skating on Sonic Hybrid wheels for the last 4 years and have been very satisfied with them. These Zen wheels are very compatible at at least 1/3 less the price. I skate 90 percent of the time outside with occasional trips to the rink. There would be great for the beginner indoor skater and for smooth concrete outdoors.

The color of the magenta wheels was super vibrant. The wheels are great for outdoors and potentially could be used indoors fr beginners who want more grip.If you weigh over 160lbs, the 78a gummy wheels are actually not the best for you. They will squish down quite a bit under that much weight. I would suggest 78a wheels for teens or light weight adults. The 85a will still absorb a lot from the streets, but won't have as much friction as a 78a.I find 78a wheels almost impossible to use on asphalt or tennis courts as it feels like I'm skating through mud.I actually prefer a 94a for outdoor but these 85A will be pretty perfect for most people.*skates in image are suregrip boardwalks, size 4, with powerdyne fuse plates and gumball stops.

The media could not be loaded. Get yourself some Redz bearings and you good to go. I was flying outside. These things are affordable and smooth!!!!! Oh and the quality is crazy!🙌🏿💨🛼. You do need to get bearings because they do not come with them.

These are advertised as outdoor wheels, but I used them at an indoor rink and I love them! I was gliding and grooving the whole time there. Highly recommend and I will purchase more colors.
