Powell Peralta Wheels Dragon Formula Nano Rat (54X34mm/97a)

The Powell Peralta Wheels Dragon Formula Nano Rat (54x34mm/97a) bring DF magic to everyday sessions in the San Gabriel Valley—from rough Pasadena alleys to smooth Claremont parks. The Nano Rat shape puts the Dragon Formula to work with an asymmetrical double-radial profile: a familiar radial outer edge for clean release, a lock-in inner edge for stable grinds, and center-set bearings that keep your setup balanced. At 97a, these roll fast and quiet yet still grip & slide on command—exactly what DF is famous for.

Powell•Peralta’s Dragon Formula™ is a high-rebound urethane developed over a decade to skate more spots, more of the time. It’s noticeably quicker across crusty sidewalks, holds speed in bowls, and lets you feather powerslides or lock into ledges without feeling chattery. The wider riding surface boosts stability, and the smooth finish breaks in perfectly after a few sessions. Think of Nano Rats as the midpoint between the square Nano-Cubics and a classic round wheel—easy to step onto, hard to step off of.

Born in 1978 under Stacy Peralta and George Powell, Powell-Peralta helped define street and vert through the Bones Brigade era and continues to innovate with materials like DF. Nano Rats carry that lineage forward in a modern, skate-anywhere package that shines on our Los Angeles County terrain.
