Overview
The Labeda Gripper Hockey Wheels have stood the test of time due to their quality construction process and design. The Gripper wheels were the first hockey wheels to bring the Flex Technology to inline hockey with it's smaller core design that allows the urethane to flex, therefore maximizing grip and speed. Best of all Labeda is a family owned business and makes all of their wheels, including these Grippers, right here in the USA.

| Product Note | DEK tile or similar non-hockey perforated tiles provide less wheel contact surface area. As a result, using wheels on these surfaces has less grip and will wear down quicker. |

Sizing Chart
| HOCKEY WHEEL HARDNESS GUIDELINES | |
|---|---|
| Roller hockey wheel hardness or durometer should be decided on factors like a player's weight, skill level and playing surface. The higher the durometer rating, the harder the wheel. For example, an 82A wheel is perfect for rough outdoor surfaces while a 76A wheel excels indoors. More advanced players can also benefit from harder wheels since they can utilize the extra rebound and speed. |
