Overview
The Rinkster Striker Wheels bring the Trickster legacy into a sleeker, cool-blue package, geared for players who want elite-level grip and predictability with a clean look. Built on the same high-performance foundation as the iconic Trickster, the Striker focuses on balanced speed, grip and durability so you can trust it when the game's on the line.
Rinkster engineered the Striker with a tuned urethane chemistry and bonded iHub core that gives you a controlled, planted feel that still launches you hard out of turns and quick starts. The outer compound grips hard when you need it, while the inner core keeps rebound stiff and lively, and the durable bonding minimizes separation, so you skate harder, longer, and with more confidence.
If you want Striker-level performance but prefer a bright pink look, the Maverick is your go-to. Same top-end technology but with show-stopping flash.

| 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. |
