  • Width:56mm
  • Contact Patch:53mm
  • Hub:45mm

The Seismic Speed Vents are a high quality high performance wheel developed by Seismic which has developed other great products such as the Seismic trucks and 3dm wheels. The Speed Vents were designed around a light weight energy conversion core which adds the quickness and agility while maintaining high top speed for downhill racing. Whats particularly nice about the Speed Vents is that they come in a huge variety of sizes and durometers. The 85mm diameter version is a huge wheel that can roll over anything much like the Abec 11 Flywheels except the Speed Vents are wider with a larger contact patch providing better grip. Before you go out and buy some make sure you check out the specs because like BigZigs, different colors have different durometers. This is a wheel that surely can hold its own versus even Abec 11’s great lineup of wheels.
