The Road Rider “Shred Mags” is a 73mm, slightly offset race wheel, with a 59mm contact patch, and featuring Road Rider’s exclusive high rebound 78a formula as well as a massive 40mm x 37mm Mag Core.
The Testing:
In order to test the Road Rider “Shred Mags” we hit some runs on a familiar Socal favorite.
Pros:
The larger core adds to the performance by supporting the wheel and maintaining it’s shape under serious high speed and weight loads. This helps both maintain exit speed, and straight-line acceleration. The offset race shape and urethane compound also combines to create a predictable breakaway point for controlled slides.
Cons:
We like options, so although this wheel performs great, it could be cool to see it offered in more sizes and durometers.
The Road Rider “Shred Mags” are designed purposefully and they work well for hauling balls and railing corners. As we said, the big core gives them a sturdy backbone to maintain exit speed and straight-line acceleration. The urethane compound of these wheels allows for a quality slide with the confidence of predictability.
