I can tell you the 101s feel like 99 without a doubt. Mine had chips and gouges out of them in the first session. Creative urethane is the manufacturer. The top shelf is the same as Quasi Protothane.
I initially bought a set to try as a sample because I was considering Creative as a manufacturer for awhile.
This was the case for me with the feel at least. But maybe they have(had?) their own recipe at creative. It’s been a few years since I rode the satori’s. They didn’t gouge or anything. Super smooth
I had the 101a snots which did get chewed up though. I believe they’re creative as well.
I also had the quasi wheels, but i don’t remember why they weren’t on my main setup. That board got stolen out my car.
There were at least two, maybe three different urethanes on Satori wheels in a more recent, but by no means current new stock drop I saw.
One set / type was the more milky urethane that like old Spitfires would colour up as it aged, which felt ok to skate, but was no Spitfire match when put to the test.
Another set / type was the absolute white plastic look and felt super hard and slick.
They are all on loan boards now, for anyone else to skate, but not on any decent boards I would ride again.
The cruiser wheels were really good though, but of course that is a different story.
