ATOM BOOM WHEEL IS HERE
ATOM BOOM WHEEL IS HERE WITH THANE FORMULA
For those who don’t know about Atom Wheels’ background, it’s headed by Doug & Julie (Atomatrix) Glass. Julie has medaled in just about every inline speed skating competition known to man, and Doug is a world champion speed skater as well. They are also the official wheel of Team USA and the WFTDA, so we’re not talking about a Johnny Come-Lately here. The company is tried & true.
It's always exciting when new wheels are released. Atom Wheels – best known for its wildly popular Poison wheel – has seemingly done it again, this time with the Boom, a hybrid, indoor/outdoor urethane wheel designed specifically to DOMINATE concrete, asphalt and even some wood surfaces.
Atom have added another hardness to their Boom wheel range it now comes in XFRIM with a red hub and designed for Roller Derby. While it is still classified as a hybrid, because of the firmness of this wheel it's probably more suited for indoor use as it could be a bumpy ride outdoors.
The BOOM wheels come with different coloured hubs instead of a durometer number. The reason for this is that it is a brand new forumla. Numbers can be helpful, but should not be used to say yay or nay without trying the wheel out.: The coloured hubs make it easy to identify the different hardness's in your wheel bag, below I have listed the different coloured hubs to match their hardness.
PINK: Hybrid-Firm
ORANGE : X-FIRM,
RED: XX FIRM . Designed to have SUPERIOR roll WITH slide control on Sport Court, Wood and Grippy cement floor
The slim version 59mm x 38mm for agility and mobility and the wide version comes in 62mm x 44mm for the those derby skaters looking for addition width and stability.
