Overview
Atom Matrix Inline Skate Wheels are the next up the ladder from the Atom One wheel. The Matrix wheels are a little harder, with a newer urethane formula that provides more grip, roll and durability. These wheels are designed for road skating, but some have told us they like these on the track as well.

Would give 5 stars but wheel hub brokeFirst, great wheels and great roll. I'm not an aggressive jumper, sidewalks to the street is about it, so I was surprised to find a wheel hub snapped. I was just getting ready to swap wheels when I noticed it, so it was near the end of life, I usually switch out 90mm wheels when they reach 84mm.
Soft, quiet and fastBefore using these Atom Matrix 125s, I rolled on RB Hydrogen 125s for more than 5 years. The Hydrogens are still in great shape, not too much wear on them. Surprisingly, these new Matrix wheels feels much better. The ride is soft and quiet, meaning the imperfections of the asphalt are felt less and the ride is super smooth. Big LIKE here.
These are just... the ones!!I will first say my skating style is speed and distance on asphalt, sidewalks, and bike paths. I threw these wheels (125mm white and green) on my Powerslide swell fireflies and I am impressed. They had me FLYING faster than ever. Hardly any wear after 25 miles and many, many T-stops. I usually hope that my wheels last at least 2 months of proper rotation. I will update you at that time. Patiently waiting for a price drop.

Comments: Solid wheel, can't go wrong with it.
I used them for outdoor skating. They lasted a month and a half of heavy use skating every other day.

Comments: I bought these in 84mm to upgrade from the 80mm 82A Rollerblade wheels that came with my Rollerblade Macroblades. I've been very pleased. I have ridden these on smooth trails and fairly rough asphalt and have been happy. I've ridden them well over 100 miles with no issues with cracking. I would buy Atom again.

Comments: Would not recommend for outdoor use. All 6 of my 125 white/red wheels hubs cracked within 2 months of use. No jumping or extreme skating, just road skating.
From: Mike Australia
Comments: BUY THEM!
I bought these wheels 2 weeks ago and they are awesome. I was skeptical at first because of the price but they are way worth it for that price. The roll is amazing. (I tested to see how long before they stop and they lasted 1min 20 sec to stop completely . just by one Spin hit). The wear seems good for now. But theyre just fast rolling as f.ck. you won't regret it.

Comments: Excellent wheels, Very durable. I've been practicing powerstop and powerslides a lot and they don't wear that much.
I'd definitely buy them again

Comments: These wheels are the hardest wheels that I've ever used, but they do work well on outdoor pavements such as concrete and asphalts. They roll real well and are also noticeably faster than the standard wheels that came with my skates. However, these wheels are not that smooth when skating on rougher pavement, which is something I encounter frequently when skating outdoors. Maybe a softer wheel like an 84a might have the best balance for outdoor skating.

Comments: An affordable, hard wheel. I would not recommended for road use; wheels will almost certainly split. Of the 4 wheels I have used on pavement and asphalt, all 4 have split after the outermost layer was worn away. Others have praised this wheel on indoor surfaces.
From: Andy, S
Comments: I really Like the Atom Matrix wheels, I am currently using these for indoor until one of the floor I skate at gets recoated. I expect them to work great outdoors. I am also really impressed with the roll of these wheels, especially since they are a 85a durometer.

Comments: Bought these 100mm 86a for my kids scooters and they are amazing very smooth and grippy to the road.. And the fast delivery of IW is always a plus!!
From: Matt, West Covina, CA, 1/30/21
Comments: I would not recommend these in the 120mm size. They develop severe cracks and splits in the hub within the first 100 miles of use. They start to suck a lot of power out of your stride when damaged and probably aren't safe.
From: Anonymous, 4/26/21
Comments: Got 8 of the 80 mm green wheels. Four of them have developed severe cracks through the hubs with less than 25 miles of wear (4-5 days). Noticed that the hub opening was very snug when inserting Bones Reds bearings. Tested the same bearings on stock Rollerblade wheels with no issues. QC on the Atom Matrix wheels seems to be lacking which is really unfortunate. The feel is really good, nice grip, and excellent wear resistance on rough surfaces. If you are lucky enough to get some that are properly manufactured, they should serve very well, but I can't recommend. That said, IW has great customer service, immediately responded to my query about the damage, and has offered to replace at no cost. I really like this site.
