Previous Feedback
Comments: I weigh about 105 lbs and use the golds. On the sport court I play on, these wheels grip nice and I noticed my speed increase as well. My favorite wheels so far, would recommend
From: Kristin, CA
Comments: Have had the golds hi-lo for 2 seasons now, and they are holding up really well. I'm about 160lbs. and my playing style is speed with a lot of stops and change of direction, on smooth concrete and roll-on painted/sealed concrete surfaces. The grip is excellent, and durability has been amazing. Revision pumps out great wheels, i'm a customer for life. Can't wait to try the new variant plus reds next.
From: Chadd, CA
Comments: I am 5'-9", 175lbs and I am currently skating on the Variant Golds. I love these wheels, they grip without the big chunks my Rink rats used to throw and they actually stick to the floor unlike the Labedas I used to have. Houston has some really hot summers and these wheels lasted through the last one so I recommend them in hotter environments. Also, I used to be heavier (225lbs) and used the Bronze wheels and they held up to the weight really well.

Comments: I am 5'10" 170 and I bought the golds to try to replace my Rink Rats for sport court. I was not impressed at all. After one game I went back to Rink Rats. I didn't have any grip when I was on them. I would try Labeda and Rink Rat again before I go back to these.
From: Mike, FL
Comments: Im 189lbs and a aggresive skater which is a death blow to all the 76a durometer wheels that I have tried. I have tried multiple brands of wheels, even the high dollars ones and I have not come across any that can handle the abuse that I throw at them except for Revision Variant Hockey Wheels. Ill never buy a different kind of wheel.
