A 3d sine wave they say. Better rebound and durability due to shape they say. Just won some race. Free energy! Look weird but I'm psyched about them. Good for rough terrain. What's not to like
Maybe someone could make a pulley for this version:

They have 70mm SW's now and heard from SW's owner Evolve is going to offer an 80mm SW soon.

Must...beat..evolve

I'd like to hear an explanation of how the rolling resistance is decreased. They claim a lot of improvement with rebound as well, guess they go hand in hand but I'd have thought the rubber material would decide this and not the contact patch

The grooves allow the wheel to ramp over cracks and debris without the wheel slowing down and then lurching over the obstacle.

I ride them and no question they roll over bad pavement better and maintain momentum.

There are some youtube video's etc that show how much better they roll over rough stuff.

Would love to get SW tread on Carve Ons HW's.

SW guy said they are getting into the E Board market but just slowly right now.

58mm is small but with a small wheel pulley, maybe a 14 x 28, it would have enough ground clearance. I put the link to that smaller version because it has a flat side which maybe would be better for a pulley to sit beside. will roller skate wheels fit on a skateboard? According to my 10 second goggle search most offend they will.

I have 2 boards with 73mm Shark Wheels and they are great all around wheels.
