The Science of Scooter Wheels

Root Industries has spent nearly 20 years perfecting the scooter wheel, and that's why our wheels are faster, smoother and more grippy than any other scooter wheel. The difference is noticeable, and that's a result of our meticulous attention to detail in every aspect of the design, the testing, the choice of materials, the precision manufacturing on our very own custom-made machines....every step of the process is driven by one purpose: To continue to make the best scooter wheels.

Unique Polyurethane (PU) Formulas
We have our own unique formulas of PU, which no other scooter wheel can match. We have spent two decades perfecting scooter wheels, and now we have a wheel to suit every rider. The PureGrip PU is found exclusively on our Liberty wheels and provides the ultimate grip for riders who like control in their ride, with cushioned landings. Our UHR Speed formula is found in our Honeycore and Air wheels and is the choice of riders who demand the fastest, purest ride from their set-up. The UHR Grip formula is new to our Lotus wheel range, and has been developed to deliver the ultimate balance between speed and grip for all-round performance.

Cutting-edge Core Design
Our cores are meticulously designed to bond uniquely with each different PU formula, reducing dehubbing and chunking in our wheels.
We use the highest quality aluminium and cutting-edge manufacturing techniques to reduce weight, and allow for precision-fitting of the bearings which increases speed and smoothness of the riding experience.

The Smoothest Bearings
Our ABEC 11 bearings deliver famously unrivalled smoothness and speed.

Improved Performance
Our wheels noticeably improve performance of a scooter, delivering better balance, superior grip and increased speed. This extra speed increases air-time so more tricks can be performed, and the extra grip makes controlling the landing easier, providing riders with the edge when it matters.
