Product - Sector nine Red 82a 70mm slalom shape race formula wheels.
WELL THEY ARE ####.
Naw just kidding, they are the bomb.
these wheels truly are one of the best wheels i have ridden to date. They truly do it all, they have an incredible smooth predictable and controllable drift, they wear extremely well, and are ####### FAST!
well that was my hook, time to get formal...
DRIFT :: these wheels slide like a dream, they are butter smooth during a drift with a really nice and predictable catchup. when you dont want to drift these babys will hold your line no doubt, i was coming through a hairpin today after a nice fat predrift and i had a perfec line, so i leaned a bit into the inside and i really noticed the lips of the wheels forming to the pavement to hold good grip, that is why i love the sharp lips these wheels have. Unlike an Orangatang 4pres these wheels have a sharp you could say flowing? lip to them whereas the otang has a flat square lip that is great for a slalom style rider taking extremely short sharp turns, but when we get going fast coming in hot around a corner you want the more direct lip of the s9's to be more forgiving and form to the ground and hold a solid line.
Speed :: Hot Dayum, these wheels are fast, i am a small guy and these are a 70mm wheel and i had no problem with momentum when i was pack riding thats forsure, this is the only 70mm wheel i have been able to keep up on, it is great. I must add that they are actually faster when broken in, im not sure why or how but thats just my personal opinion. compared to a retro thane the speed is defenately on par.
Durability :: wow, i was working my ass of to break these guys in. It took me an entire days worth of a session with pendys every run to properly get them to drift like i have heard they should be, which is great because that means for races around here it will definately be a good race wheel that you wont have to replace after the practice runs. The wear patterns are also the best ive seen yet, as you can see in the photo above they dont round out at the edges like some wheels would, this is because of the incredibly well shaped lips. Instead of rounding they cone, which i find is better because it allows you to simply rotate the wheel, decone, and still have some lip on the wheel.
so i definately like this wheel, and expect to see me racing these things in colorado!
if you have any questions just ask.
