Powell Peralta Premium Flight Skateboard Mike V Elephant 8.63" Krux Trucks, Dragon Formula Wheels, Independent Bearings
SKU: PWFLT234-KX785/PDFNR961/IN804/1inHW/RIS/GT
Description
The Powell Peralta Mike Vallely Elephant Flight Premium Complete pairs the best of Powell Peralta in one box: the Mike Vallely Elephant Flight deck and Powell's Dragon Formula wheels, the wheels skaters keep raving about. Add Krux K5 DLK 8.5" trucks and Independent GP-S bearings and it's about as good as a complete gets.
This 8.63" build uses Krux K5 DLK 8.5" trucks and Powell Peralta Dragon Formula Mike Vallely Pro 56mm x 36mm 95A wheels on shape 244W.
Why Dragon Formula Wheels
This is the whole point of this build: Powell's best deck construction paired with Powell's best wheels. Dragon Formula is the wheel skaters keep raving about, and for good reason. According to Powell:
- Faster than they should be: up to 20% higher rebound than standard hard wheels (over 82% on the 88A), so you keep speed in parks, bowls, and rough streets where ordinary soft wheels bog down.
- Grip and slide: Dragons grip when you need control and slide when you want flow, like a hard wheel.
- Skate more spots: the softer hardness rolls over cracks and rough ground that would stop a 99A or 101A wheel cold.
- Years in the making: Powell developed the formula over 10 years.
Put that on a Flight deck that's thinner, stronger, and holds its pop longer than a 7-ply, and you've got about the best-riding setup Powell makes, in one box.
