SEISMIC Tailwind 83mm Wheels

SEISMIC Tailwind 83mm Wheels

SEISMIC Tailwind 83mm Wheels have ideal size and proportions for max mileage on LDP treks and max velocity in Top Speed pursuits. Tailwinds are highly optimized for rolling efficiency without compromising traction, even through hard corners and strong pumps. With surprisingly quick acceleration and nimble edge-to-edge response for its size they give you a lot of speed and momentum to beat the pack. The running surface features a 0.5mm concave that pre-loads edges, sharpens grip, and enhances rebound.

And by the way these wheels were used to set the new World Record for Fastest Standup Slide. (Ambroise Trauet, 73.34 mph / 117.35 kph Toeside – June 23, 2022, in Sellraintal, Tirolean Alps, Austria – official Guinness certification expected in 2023.)

50.5mm running surface
Radiused outside edge, beveled inside edge
Finely-calibrated width and stout, highly-supported lip profiles.
Bearing seat offset 6.5% for progressive lip engagement and more consistent wear.

– 76A Mango: Fast, smooth, and lively underfoot. An optimal balance of properties for most surface conditions.
– 79A Mint: Ideal for smoother surfaces. Very fast roll with friendly slide characteristics. Excellent durability.

Poured in DEFCON™ ultra-high-rebound urethane

• The fastest formula in the history of skateboard racing, bar none.
• Credited with virtually every significant world distance and speed record, including the official Guinness Standup mark. (Pete Connolly, 91.17 mph / 146.73 kph – Sept. 16, 2017, at The Top Speed Challenge in Quebec, Canada.)
• Defcon’s superior energy efficiency means not just higher speeds and longer push distances, but also noticeably longer battery life and rolling range on your e-board! (If they aren’t already available, ask your favorite e-board brands to offer pulley adapters fitted to the Tailwind’s Fusion hub.)
• More miles per hour, distance per push, and blocks per watt! Predictable handling; slow, consistent wear.
• Available in two finely-tuned durometers…

The Fusion™ core

• Integrates 15 years of advanced hub R&D.
• 46mm tall x 44mm wide – the largest and most supportive hub ever seen in a wheel this size.
• Formed from 85D fiber-reinforced thermoplastic – the toughest hub material in the industry – with robust bearing lugs.
• Deep, wide “saddle” profile regulates lateral wheel flex and supercharges edge support.
• Eight (8) lateral support beams (hollowed-out for lightness and aesthetics) combine with saddle profile to create unprecedented 3D mechanical lock with urethane.
• Support beam contours form internal “turbine blade” structure that reflects and directs Defcon’s unparalleled energy return…
