Pneumatic All-Terrain

Journ-E™ Apex pneumatic all-terrain wheels provide improved grip, shock absorption and stability across rough surfaces. Their rugged tread helps deliver a smoother, more controlled ride on gravel, dirt and uneven terrain.

70 × 51 mmPU Street Wheel
Smooth pavement

PU Street Wheel

The Nova's smooth-rolling polyurethane wheel. Reliable grip and controlled riding on paved surfaces, with better comfort and durability than basic plastic wheels - ideal for short-distance cruising and neighbourhood rides.

Smooth street

Cloud Wheel 105

The Phantom's large cloud wheel. The bigger diameter smooths out imperfections that would rattle a standard skate wheel, improving comfort, grip and stability on smoother outdoor surfaces.

Long-range road

Cloud Wheel 105 Wide

The Spartan's wider cloud wheel. A bigger contact patch and all-in-one design (rear drive positions integrate the hub motor) for better shock absorption and planted stability over long paved distances.

Spartan
140 × 50 mmHoneycomb AT Wheel
All-terrain / off-road

Honeycomb AT Wheel

The Relentless' airless all-terrain wheel. A honeycomb core absorbs vibration like a pneumatic tyre but can never puncture - grip, comfort and stability across rough, tough surfaces with zero maintenance.
