Details
What is the Shorty shape
Shorty is our mini profile at 6.6mm diameter, our smallest wheel. Small and compact, it's great for maximum control and tricks on all kinds of surfaces.
Bearings and the Bearing Pocket
ABEC-9 bearings are shielded and greased, so they run smooth and completely silent. They don't free spin the way Ultraspin bearings do; in actual riding they're extremely responsive with a very free roll. The Bearing Pocket is a custom lock cast into the wheel that stops the bearing backing out unless you use a bearing press, so you can run the locknut fully tight without binding the roll.
Blend and Cast
Every Apex wheel in our urethane line is made in New York. We blend our own custom compounds and pour each wheel, the wheels are precision cut here in NY, and we press the bearings and pack every set in our Rochester shop.
Care
- Soft urethane squeaks on slides. You want the squeak.
