The Labeda Gripper began a legacy, bringing flex technology to the forefront of roller hockey changing the way the game was played and future wheel development. Its smaller core design allows the outer urethane mass to flex, maximizing grip and speed.
IDEAL PLAYING SURFACE:
Sport Court, Wood, Smooth Concrete, Smooth Asphalt
WEIGHT GUIDELINES:

*A lighter player than the recommended weight guidelines may choose a wheel designed for a heavier skater if they have advanced skating skills to compress the wheel enough to grip to the skating surface. This will allow the player to boost and maximize their skating speed.
SIZE OPTIONS:
80mm, 76mm, 72mm, 68mm, 59mm
WHEEL HARDNESS:
Medium (78A)
*Hardness is a general guideline to direct a player to a wheel based on the player’s weight and skating ability level. A player may choose a wheel designed for a heavier, or a lighter weight skater. This will allow the player to boost and maximize their grip and/or rolling skate speed. If they have advanced skating skills to compress the wheel enough to grip, or are looking for softer wheels to maximize grip on skating surfaces. Choosing to do either, may cause extended or premature wear.
*WHEELS ARE PRICED AND SOLD INDIVIDUALLY.
