Powell-Peralta Dragon Formula Nano Cubic Wheels in white and red pack all-terrain skate performance into a compact 56mm x 37mm, 93a set. Dragon Formula urethane rolls over cracked streets and rough sidewalks without killing speed, then grips and slides like a 99a or 101a on ledges, rails, parks, and bowls. Super-high rebound—about 18 to 20 percent above typical hard wheels—holds momentum through transition and over crusty pavement you used to walk. Developed with Andy Anderson, the offset Nano Cubic shape covers axle nuts, climbs curbs and coping, and stays light enough for flip tricks and freestyle.

Dragon Formula 93a: Soft Roll, Hard-Wheel Slide
Powell spent a decade tuning Dragon Formula so 93a no longer means slow or grabby. These wheels soak up vibration on rough streets, then break into predictable slides on both smooth and coarse surfaces without relying on weak urethane. High rebound keeps bowls and parks fast, while the formula resists flat spots so one set lasts through street, park, and transition sessions.
Wheel Shape Explained
Nano Cubic is a modern take on Powell-Peralta’s classic Cubic and MiniCubic shapes, redesigned with Andy Anderson for street, park, and freestyle on mixed terrain. The offset, asymmetrical profile puts a wide outer lip outward to climb curbs, walls, and coping, cover axle nuts, and make coconut wheelies possible. The inner lip leaves more truck exposed, locks onto rails and obstacles for grinds, then releases when you want the slide. Smaller and lighter than old cubics, the 56mm size stays flip-friendly while the 21mm contact patch keeps lines stable.
