The Fireball Beast 76mm 87A is a unique mixture between a downhill and a slide wheel. You will be able to reach a high roll speed due to the larger Durchmesser, but will be able to loose traction fast because of the harder Härte! For those who are looking for excitement and being on the edge of traction, the Beast is a wheel for you.
The 76mm Fireball Beast is a wheel that is made to go fast but, can break out easily. With its 87A it is on the harder side of the spectrum and with the stoneground riding surface it will slide easy from the beginning. With the Fireball Beast you will have fun on the hill no matter what your riding style is.
First Contact
Beasts have offset cores with fat lips, allowing for the proper amount of grip when cornering and carving. However, the trademarked Fireball Slide Prepped(TM) surface allows you to break into a slide and create clean lines when you feel that urge. The angled lips create a progressively larger contact patch as the wheel is slowly worn down from rippin’slides.
Urethane to Core Ratio
Though our wheels may sound a bit on the harder side, Beast offers a ton of urethane relative to the size of the core,creating a smoother ride. Go harder for more yummy slippage and speed. Go softer for more grip ’round the bends.
Design Inspiration
The Beast is a perfect all around wheel in 76mm diameter. This means it can be used for casual riding as well as free ride and downhill. The beveled edges paired with the sandstone grind SlidePreppedTM is something not commonly found.
Pro Tip
If you ride favoring a heelside or toeside slide, rotate these wheels (switch front right with front left and back right withback left) at the first sign of coning to greatly increase the life and performance of The Beast. Artwork by Spring Break Jake
