Champ® Wheels are designed for wooden floors. These natural surfaces absorb impact and reflect rebounding, but they also make skaters feel like their strokes are less responsive when compared to outdoor skating surfaces. Some wheels that are great for outdoor use may not be able to deliver the same performance when used indoors.
Champ® uses high grade SHR (Super High Rebound) polyurethane from BASF with a special formula created by the wheel lab in California, USA. The rebounding percentage measures as high as 80% to offset the shock absorption by natural wood floor boards. Although the wheels have a softer durometer hardness of 84A, Champ® still offers excellent gripping and edge control in all footwork. Extensive testing shows Champ® to be wear-resistant and tear-resistant artistic inline wheels.
