Powell Peralta Wheels V4 Dragon Formula Red (54X34mm/93a)

Powell Peralta Wheels V4 Dragon Formula Red (54x34mm / 93a) deliver a modern performance take on one of skateboarding’s most legendary formulas, blending speed, control, and versatility into a wheel built for real street skating. Visually, the clean natural urethane body is accented by the iconic red Dragon artwork, wrapping the sidewall in a continuous circular pattern that nods directly to Powell-Peralta’s deep roots in skate history. The graphic is crisp yet understated, letting the shape and formula do the talking while still standing out on any setup.

This wheel uses the V4 shape, featuring a symmetrical double-radial profile with a center-set bearing. That design keeps the wheel feeling balanced, predictable, and consistent whether you’re locking into ledges, pushing through crust, or setting up for long lines. The 54mm diameter hits a sweet spot for street and park skating, offering quick acceleration without sacrificing stability, while the 34mm contact patch provides confident grip that still releases smoothly when you want it to slide.

The real magic comes from Powell-Peralta’s Dragon Formula 93a, engineered to roll faster and smoother over rough ground than traditional hard wheels while still maintaining the slide control and responsiveness skaters expect from a street wheel. It’s fast, quiet, and forgiving on imperfect pavement—perfect for mixed terrain sessions, from smooth concrete to gritty alley spots. That balance makes these wheels especially appealing for skaters who want one setup that can handle it all without compromise.

Powell-Peralta has been shaping skateboarding since the late ’70s, consistently pushing wheel technology forward while staying rooted in the culture that built it. From Bones Brigade innovation to modern formulas like Dragon, the brand’s legacy is defined by progression that actually benefits skaters. These wheels feel right at home cruising neighborhood streets, cutting through plaza lines, or holding speed on park transitions—exactly the kind of versatility that works across the San Gabriel Valley’s mix of skate terrain.
