Shark Wheel is a skate brand company founded by David Patrick, and it is based in Orange County, California. The company offers a full range of world-class products for action sports, but they are also known for their unique hybrid skateboard wheels. The company was initially funded through a Kickstarter campaign that reached almost eight-fold of its original target.

The wheel has a peculiar shape, seems square or cube-like when you first look at it, but they roll perfectly and smoothly like any conventional skateboard wheel. What’s innovative about Shark Wheel is the multiple interlocking rings based on sine wave patterns, which produce thinner contact patch with pavements in contrast to regular skate wheels of similar width. 

Aside from skateboard wheels, the company also produces an extensive range of wheels for other products such as luggage, pallet jacks, casters, wheelchairs and many others in transportation and industrial applications. 

Benefits of Using Shark Wheels 

The wheel design allows riders to enjoy more manoeuvrability while skating on puddles, debris and other surfaces that can hasten the wear and tear of conventional skateboard wheels. The thinner contact patch of the Shark Wheel enables less rolling resistance and faster ride as it cuts through dirt, water and sand. The alternating pattern of trenches on the wheel reduces “hydroplaning” by channelling away sand, gravel or liquid out and away from the wheel’s surface, which enables a firm contact patch with the terrain. 

The sine wave design of these wheels provides three lips per wheel for superb lateral grip. Sliding with your board is easier with these wheels as they break away effortlessly and recover easily each time. 

Shark Wheel skateboard wheels are designed and produced by an innovative team of dedicated individuals with passion for design, engineering, technology and entrepreneurship. With combined years of expertise in these fields and collaborations with other companies, the people behind the company continue to delve on innovative ideas that can further enhance the performance of their wheels for the next generation.
