Atom Poison Savant Skate

After more than twelve years playing roller derby I've learned a few things about wheels. I like a firm wheel with mid range grip. Without a specific durometer on these I wasn't sure what to expect. I'd ordered eight purple wheels with bearings and eight in blue without. My daughter wanted to mix them up so I've got them alternating on my skates. I like that these have very little mushiness to them, like outdoor wheels. They're used in a polished concrete that is currently pretty slick. My 97a wheels had no grip at all, while the outdoor 84a wheels gripped okay but felt like I was skating in peanut butter. They feel like an 88a-91a to me, but they felt different on a wood floor that isn't as slick as the concrete. In a good way, it's like they adapt a little bit. I doubt I'll use them on an outdoor hockey rink that's nearby, and definitely not on asphalt. The wheel itself is thin and I think those surfaces would eat through them easily. These are also lightweight. They're the lightest wheels I think I've ever used. But the best part is that they still have the firm feel of my aluminum hubs, and it doesn't feel like the spokes are wimpy. I like the bearings that came with the purple wheels enough to be looking for another set. They sealed out the dust and heavy pollen that coats everything at the moment much better than my other bearings. I didn't notice any excess grease either. For reference I'm not inclined to do much jumping, I generally block, and weigh 140-150. I do a lot of plows and loved that these were easy to control with small changes in pressure. They didn't catch the floor unexpectedly but also gripped with ease. Still need some more time in them to not have to think about them but I don't see these earning less stars.

Great customer service, first set came with a slight defect and they took care of fixing the matter quickly, these wheels are awesome on my derby skates. I'd say they're more outdoor than in, but I love the grip either way.

These Atom Poison Savant wheels are noticeably softer (84A vs 95A), slightly narrower (39mm vs 43mm), and a touch smaller diameter (59mm vs 62mm) than the Sonar Cayman wheels that came on my Riedel R3s. They're a solid improvement in grip, and in my opinion, looks. The smaller dimensions help a little bit in avoiding snagging my own feet (coming from inlines). I went from barely staying upright on our grimy, dented, chipped wooden practice floor to having a strong footing for progression. My one gripe is that the seller (4Elements) shipped me someone else's order the first time around, so I had to deal with the return/reorder process and didn't have my new wheels for a handful of practices.

Very popular wheel for roller derby. Works well on slicker, polished floors.

These corner like you're on RAILS. These are NOT outdoor wheels. These will NOT slide for dance skating, where you want that slide effect. These are SUPER GUMMY, derby-type indoor wheels.

It was the first time I had bought wheels and I was super nervous. However these are the greatest thing ever and since buying them 4 other girls on my derby team have bought them!!

Purrfect wheels. Great on local wood indoor rink.

Great Wheels! Just came in today! Looking forward to going on my Savants
