The difference between street and all terrainUpdated 25 days ago

Your wheel choice changes everything—speed, grip, ride comfort, and where you can take your board. Whether you want smooth speed on pavement or all-terrain capability, here’s what you need to know.


Street Wheels – Speed, Efficiency, and a Classic Feel

Street wheels are designed for smooth paths and roads, offering the highest top speed and longest range thanks to their minimal rolling resistance.

✅ Faster top speed – Less resistance means more efficiency.
✅ Longest range – Uses less energy per kilometre.
✅ Responsive handling – Great for carving and quick turns.
⚠️ Less forgiving on rough surfaces – Small imperfections in the road can be felt more.

The diameter and gearing affect acceleration, braking, and speed, while the urethane hardness impacts grip and ride comfort.


All Terrain (AT) Wheels – Grip, Comfort, and Off-Road Freedom

AT wheels are pneumatic (air-filled) tyres, built to handle rough roads, off-road trails, and sketchy surfaces.

✅ Superior grip – Handles dirt, gravel, grass, and poor road conditions.
✅ More comfortable ride – Absorbs bumps for a smooth, gliding feel.
✅ Confidence-inspiring for beginners – Easier to balance on uneven ground.
⚠️ Lower top speed and range – More rolling resistance means slightly less efficiency.

AT wheels let you push the limits of where and how you ride, making them the best option for exploring new terrain.
