High impact and shock resistance, abrasion resistance, and excellent weatherability have made urethane the choice material for inline skate, roller skate and skateboard wheels. Urethane parts provide longer service life when compared to plastics and rubber, and lower noise abatement properties when compared to metals. For these and many other reasons product engineers specify urethane components. | High impact and shock resistance, abrasion resistance, and excellent weatherability have made urethane the choice material for inline skate, roller skate and skateboard wheels.

The higher the quality of the polyurethane is, the better the wheel performs but the more expensive the wheel also is. Inline skating wheels can cost $30~$40 CAD per wheel. | The higher the quality of the polyurethane is, the better the wheel performs but the more expensive the wheel also is.
