Root Industries Wheels

Honeycore wheels use a honeycomb cut-out pattern in the aluminium core. This reduces weight dramatically while maintaining structural integrity. Honeycore wheels are among the lightest wheels available and provide quick acceleration, making them popular with park riders.

Air wheels feature a spoked core with a larger central cut-out. They are slightly heavier than Honeycore wheels but offer a balanced combination of strength and low weight. Their design is robust enough for moderate street riding and park tricks.

Root wheels come in 110 mm, 115 mm and 120 mm diameters. Widths range from 24 mm to 30 mm. Standard 24 mm wheels are versatile for park and street, while 30 mm wheels provide greater surface contact for stability.

Yes. Root wheels include high-precision ABEC-11 or equivalent bearings pre-installed, along with spacers. These bearings offer smooth rolling and reduce the time needed to set up your wheels.

Root uses a proprietary urethane compound known for its rebound and grip. The urethane is poured evenly to ensure consistent density and balanced rolling. This results in long-lasting wheels that maintain speed and resist flat-spotting under heavy use.

Honeycore wheels are primarily aimed at park riders, as the perforated core can struggle with heavy street abuse. Air wheels and solid-core models (e.g., Lotus wheels) are more durable and better suited for street riding.

Keep them clean, remove debris and rotate wheels regularly to prevent uneven wear. Avoid extreme heat or prolonged moisture exposure, which can degrade urethane. Replace wheels when the urethane wears down or if bearings become noisy despite lubrication.

Yes. Honeycore wheels can shave considerable weight off your setup, aiding quick spins and flips. Wider, solid-core wheels add some weight but improve stability and grip. Choose based on your style and whether you prioritise manoeuvrability or stability.
