Overview
The Labeda Whip Tinder Goalie Wheel is the next generation of roller goalie performance. Taking inspiration from the breakthrough Whip player wheels, this goalie-specific version features the same advanced hub structure that immediately improves how power and response are delivered through your crease movements.
The magic lies in the EVO Spacer System, a redesigned hub that positions the bearings directly next to each other for increased torsional stiffness and drastically reduced bearing flex. This tighter, more responsive core gives goalies enhanced reaction time on pushes and better control when planting for saves. With more consistent energy transfer through the hub, the urethane is free to flex more naturally, giving you better rebound, improved slide recovery, and increased control in key save movements.
Unlike the older dual-profile goalie wheels, the Whip Tinder features a more traditional flat profile, optimized for maximum stability and edge control. Whether you’re setting your angle, dropping into butterfly, or exploding post-to-post, the Whip Tinder gives you that planted feel to stay balanced while reacting quickly.
For compatibility, the Whip Wheels will work on any roller hockey skate, but the EVO Spacers must be used. The EVO Spacers are not included with the wheels and Whip wheels will not work with traditional spacers. You must purchase a separate set of EVO Spacers and we highly recommend purchasing a backup set of EVO Spacers to keep in your bag.

| 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. |
