Description
Elevate your ride with the legendary performance of Spitfire Formula Four (F4) Classic 99A Wheels. These are not just wheels; they’re a cornerstone of modern skateboarding, renowned for their unparalleled blend of speed, control, and flatspot resistance. Whether you’re hitting the ledges at your local spot in Salt Lake City, shredding the mini-ramp, or cruising through the streets, the F4 Classic 99A is designed to deliver.
The “F4” refers to Spitfire’s proprietary Formula Four urethane. This scientifically developed compound is celebrated for its:
- Unmatched Durability: Formula Four urethane is exceptionally resistant to abrasion, ensuring your wheels last longer.
- Superior Flatspot Resistance: Even after aggressive slides, these wheels are far less likely to develop flatspots compared to other urethanes, maintaining a smooth roll.
- High Rebound for Speed: They roll incredibly fast, helping you maintain momentum with less effort.
- Consistent, Controlled Slide: Provides a predictable and smooth slide when you need it, but grips reliably when you’re powering through turns.
The “Classic” shape is Spitfire’s original and most popular profile. It features a non-symmetrical design with a medium-wide riding surface that strikes a perfect balance between speed, control, and response. This versatile shape is ideal for every type of skating, from technical street maneuvers to park and transition riding.
The 99A durometer is a medium-hard rating, making these wheels exceptionally versatile:
- Street: Hard enough for excellent speed on smooth surfaces and consistent slides on ledges and rails.
- Park: Provides reliable grip and speed in skateparks, making them great for bowls, ramps, and concrete obstacles.
- Hybrid: Offers a comfortable ride over slightly rougher pavement than harder wheels (101A+), while still being hard enough for serious performance.
Spitfire Wheels are 100% made in the U.S.A. and known for their consistent quality and performance. The “Bighead” logo on the side of the wheel is instantly recognizable and a symbol of Spitfire’s commitment to skateboarding.
