Powell Peralta Ratbone II Dragon Formula 97A 58mm Skateboard Wheels

High-Speed Performance in the Park: Ratbone II 97A Dragon Formula

We present to you the brand-new Powell Peralta Ratbone II Dragon Formula 97A 58mm Skateboard Wheels with the stylish new Blue Dragon graphic!

The Ratbone II 97A helps you expand your repertoire of street, park, and freestyle tricks. Compared to the softer 93A version, these wheels offer faster roll speed and more control on smooth surfaces, with even more effortless slides. They are ideal for skate parks, bowls, or if you simply prefer a harder wheel feel. If you are looking for better all-terrain performance and maximum comfort on rough ground, we recommend you the 93A version.

Thanks to the symmetrical sidecut shape, you get an excellent lock-in for your grinds. The legendary Dragon™ formula provides immense durability and impact absorption for your landings, protecting your joints and muscles during long sessions.

About Dragon Formula: The amazing new Dragon Formula™ (DF) Urethane used to create these wheels is another industry leading innovation from Powell • Peralta. DF-93A Dragons will not only roll over rough terrain, but also grip and slide like 99A and 101A wheels do, so that you can do all your normal tricks and more on the greater range of skate terrains made skateable by its softer 93A hardness.

Speed: Dragons are very fast because DF-97A is super high rebound. This higher rebound means you won’t lose speed in bowls or parks the way you would with an ordinary softer wheel.

Grip & Slide: Dragons slide on both rough and smooth terrains, and also grip when you need it. This is because Dragon Formula is not just an ordinary mid-90’s wheel formula. It has been developed over a ten year period to optimize and fine tune it to perfection. No other wheel can do what these Dragons can.

Durability: Dragon Formula is not only smooth, fast and slidable, it is also durable. The slidability comes from its unique blend of high performance materials by making the urethane weak so it will slide as the urethane wears away, not creating flats spots. Dragons are very long lasting so they are not only better skating, they are a great value too.
