The Rayne freeride wheel is what started Rayne’s wheel line up while they developed their first Uerthane. Rayne has now taken that slide formula ‘thane and poured it into three stock shapes to begin refining the line-up of Square Lipped wheels for downhill performance. The Rayne Greed Wheels.
When Rayne developed the freeride wheel, they had never made a wheel before, so they kept it secret and only openned up to a small, closed group. Now that they have the hang of it, they began to involve the skate community more broadly. These are prototype wheels but, they come in a tried and tested urethane formula and timeless wheel shapes. These wheels are currently being raced around the world by some of Rayne’s top riders, including Rayne engineer and 2011 IGSA World CUP 12th place finisher, Graham Buksa.
- Diameter – 70mm
- Durometer – 77a or 80a
- Contact Patch – 53mm
- Square Lip – More lip so you can grip.
- Factory Finish – Leave ’em shinny and hold on tight or break ’em in and drift all day.
- Grip-set – Offset 3-star core reduces bulk for more grip and faster roll speed without giving up controlled drift.
- Slide Thane – Smash out buttery, controlled slides without fear of flatspots
Rayne team rider Alvaro Bajo recently got his hands on the Rayne Sinful Pleasure Wheel line-up featuring the Ruby Red Rayne urethane formula.
