Overview
The Labeda Gripper Asphalt Outdoor Wheels are one of the most popular wheels used for outside surfaces because of their great balance of performance and durability. Most other outdoor wheels sacrifice durability for performance or performance for durability, but these Asphalt Gripper Wheels allow a player to skate at a high level without the fear of destroying the soft urethane. These Gripper wheels are made by the family owned Labeda business right here in the USA.

| Product Note | DEK tile or similar non-hockey perforated tiles provide less wheel contact surface area. As a result, using wheels on these surfaces has less grip and will wear down quicker. |

Sizing Chart
| HOCKEY WHEEL HARDNESS GUIDELINES | |
|---|---|
| Roller hockey wheel hardness or durometer should be decided on factors like a player's weight, skill level and playing surface. The higher the durometer rating, the harder the wheel. For example, an 82A wheel is perfect for rough outdoor surfaces while a 76A wheel excels indoors. More advanced players can also benefit from harder wheels since they can utilize the extra rebound and speed. |

Labeda Gripper Asphalt Outdoor Hockey WheelsReally solid, long lasting even on pavement.
They hold up greatThey are my favorite replacement wheels.
Get these every timeVery dependable, long lasting.
Great outdoor wheelLabeda have the best outdoor wheels by far. Orange wheels last the longest, white wheels grip a bit more. Might be expensive but when you want the best wear and least failure rate, these are the best.
The bestThese are the best outdoor wheels,..I've tried some many different kinds!!!
Great outdoor wheelsLabeda Grippers hold up great through lots of rollerblading on asphalt - will be ordering these again... every time.
Holding up wellLabeda 85A Roller Hockey Wheels hold up really well in the outside roller blading that I do - mosty on asphalt.
Best outdoor wheelsThese outdoor wheels have lasted me the longest playing at a local tennis court... they're a consumable about twice a year for me playing 1-2 times a week.
Premature wear, bad gripFor the price of these wheels, I would expect much better durability, and grip. However, they do not perform well.
Perfect for improvementFaster than my previous Labeda wheels (Labeda Addiction). Challange my balance a bit more, but very interesting. Harder to skate when the asphalt contains big shingle (not so smooth) as I am shaking a bit. Getting slowly used to the new wheels. I am happy with them.
I would recommend these wheels. Training with them makes me a better skater over time.
