UrbanSkaters – Inline Skating Blog

Wheel sizes differ greatly depending on the type of inline skates you choose. Putting it simply, the bigger the wheels the faster the skates (like recreational and speed skates for example). Smaller wheels on the other hand are better suited for maneuverability and faster acceleration (like aggressive skates).

54-56mm for aggressive skates
68-72mm for artistic inline skates
76-80mm for hockey, freestyle and slalom skates
80-110mm for recreational and speed skates
