Recommendation:
The Labeda Asphalt is a great outdoor roller hockey wheel. There was a time when we considered it the best, but now there are longer lasting wheels, which remains a priority for most outdoor players. It still remains as a solid wheel allowing for great speed and slides. A lot of lighter skaters still prefer these over some longer lasting options because these offer a bit more compression than their 85a counterparts, allowing for more control.
Though it is the fastest, if you find yourself wearing these down quickly or sliding too much for your liking you may want to try the Labeda Shooters, or even grippier Labeda Grippers in Yellow.
