does anyone know what the Lock In conical is like compared to the Manderson Shape? i wanna try these but the thought of going back too a slimmer wheel annoys me

[b.v.]

Here is an sfw and conical full side by side.

[Paco Supreme]

sweet, thanks man

[Dick Butkus]

This isn't related to formula 4, but does anyone know what is the smallest size they make of the sfw shape?

bahaha DAYIM... so any word on release dates? these wheels should be out by now!

[Timmy666]

Does anybody else get the urge to like bite new wheels? no...? me neither.

I do, it's like I gotta feel some kind of pressure on my wheels.

[Patrick C]

When do these come out? seems like they are filming reviews for marketing purposes.
(found these on instagram)



lol...Ricta got me with their cored line in the early 2000's I had a set of Koston cored, Arto, and Kareem Campbell's. The cored part of the wheel would get loose with repeated bearing removal. After that started skating with the Classics, then F1, then back to Classics. F1 is weird, one backside revert to a flat spot

If these are similar to Spitfire Classics in hardness but don't flatspot/wear as easy I'm sold!!
Currently skating the Cardiel conicals 55mm...now its a 51.

just set up anderson fsw's. diggin em

what is their hardness?

My friend is skating a set of 101a, so I'm assuming the softer F4 will be 100a or 99a

my F4's say 99a. They are 51mm classic shape.

[NowhereInLife]

I'm sold.

They need to put 'em out already!

[Quilmes Cerveza]

I've had a few sets now and the Formula-Four's are the best wheels I've skated hands down. I've heard some people say they are slippery but I think they are actually a little sticky, but in a very good way. From my experience they grip just the way you would want them to on pretty much any surface, whether you're in the streets or parks on concrete, Masonite, skate lite, whatever. I will say they did feel a little foreign the first day or two compared to the F1 Street Burners but within too long they felt perfect. This is just my opinion, but game changers for sure. ?

I've had 3 sets now, and havn't been dissapointed. I rod a set of the classics, then got a wider (conical?) shape and those were just to grippy for me, perfect skatepark wheel if thats what you're into.  Now im riding a set of classics again and i love em

[b.v.]

I was told 2 weeks from yesterday they will be available for shops to order.

Looks like they're finally out

[The Nose Face]

I'm seeing they come in "Classic, Tablet and Full"

I can see what classic would be, so does that mean Tablet is the lock-in version, and Full is the bigger version (like the manderson/cardiel wheel).

Anyone know - B.V. you out there..?

[b.v.]

My set is marked Full and has the sidecut.
Haven't seen this tablet shape yet.

[InternetDaddy]

for the dudes who have ridden them: would you recommend the 99 or the 101 duro? My local still doesn't have em in (the dude at the shop last time didn't even know what I was talking about when I asked), but I definitely want to try a set once they drop.

I've skated the ones that just said Team Edition and I think they were 101duro, but am not sure on that. I've also skated the newer editions that are marked 99duro and the 101duro, and they were both amazing. If you're skating more street and concrete I'd go with the 101's, although that's just my opinion.

I'm guessing tablet is like the bones stf v2's, on the slim side with flat sides

[b.v.]

Just got off the phone with dlx, still not available anywhere.
CCS doesn't really have them I was told.
They are still sending them to affiliate shops to ride.
I'll post here when I get a green light that they are heading to stores.

[aaronagis]

They are't sticky, just not as plastic slidey feeling as bones.
Conical shape in front, classic shape in back.

Oh man, I want a set of these so badly, The Conical shape looks sick.
All I ever skate is Spitfires, I just prefer the way they skate, a very predicatble slide and grip on any terrain. I can trust Spitfire, when I skate bones, I feel like I cant trust the slide/grip the same. They just feel plastic-like or waxy... If these formula 4's are an improvement in durability I will be one happy customer. If I skate enough a set of 99s will currently last me a month at the most before they are pretty un-skateable. I just set up a pair of 54mm "trunk boys" and skated probably about 4 hours and I have some decent sized chunks missing from asphalt, and a couple flat spots. If that is fixed with these formula 4's that would just be sick.

[b.v.]

It is fixed, you will not be disappointed!
Last set I had I rode for 2 months, no flatspots, no chunks, nothing wrong, just smaller than I wanted.
