Monster Hawgs Formula

**Lyevo** · 07-13-2009 08:37 PM

I just took the new White 80a Monsters for a ride today. The ones that I got were Broken in. They were surprisingly grippy for being broken in and super smooth drift. They feel just as fast as Lime Bigzigs. I've rode the 78a Blue Monsters and they just don't seem as nice. Highly Recommended. Has anybody else tried them? What are your Thoughts?

I had them on my Pagan Flush with Smokies.

They're coming on my drop carve this week so I'll have to compare them to the horridly beat up bigzigs I have, I have no idea what duro the hawgs are now that i think of it.

I've been reading good things about the new 'thane, especially the white. You mentioned that they're as fast as lime BZs, do you think they grip as well or worse? Are they wider, like the black 76mm Superballs?

They are the same size as the old ones. The whites grip as good as Lime Bigzigs but with a way nicer drift.

I ended up picking up a pair of the Monster Hawgs to replace the discontinued 76mm EW Superballs. I thought about getting lime BZigs, but decided to try the slightly beefier MHawgs instead. I'm not disappointed, as the Hawgs are definitely faster than the Superballs, but they don't really compare in grip. The drift of the Hawgs is very predictable, which is nice, even fun, but when traction is really important they fall a bit short.

Like bushings, wheel preference is very subjective and personal. Since I usually run split duros, I don't really mind using the "slow" Superballs in back, with faster wheels in front like orange BZigs or purple Speed Vents. The setup feels balanced and not slow.

How would u compare them to the previous monster hawg formula?
I have 76mm 84a black monster hawgs that grip ok, and are easy to push into a slide, however, are very choppy.

The whites are fast , grippier and have a way smoother drift.
