Quad Wheel Technology
Atom Wheels - A Brief History
Atom Wheels has been the leader in wheel manufacturing since 2008. With multiple innovations to date, Atom continues to lead the industry in breakthrough advancements in wheel manufacturing. Flagship styles such as the Poison, Juke, and Boom continue to dominate the floor at derby events all over the world.
Atom Wheels was one of the first companies to break ground on 59mm wheels, Hybrid style wheels, Hollow Core wheels, and first to bring unification between plastic and aluminum for cores. Atom will continue to bring you breakthrough wheels throughout 2017 and beyond!
The 59mm - A New Era Begins
Why did Atom bring 59mm wheels to the game? The answer is simple! With a smaller track, you need to be agile as well as be able to stop at a moment's notice. 62mm wheels were made for longer roll on tracks for speed skating, session, etc. These wheels did not allow for maneuverability nor acceleration. 59mm will forever be known for fast acceleration, immediate stopping ability, and "Juke-ing" people out of their skates!
59mm Features/Benefits:
- Faster Acceleration
- Increased Agility
- Faster Stopping ability
The 62mm - Let's Roll!
62mm wheels have become synonymous with roller skating. This size wheel can be found on all styles of packages from beginner to advanced. Mostly seen on speed style tracks, 62mm wheels allow for more roll along with a 'snap' effect coming in and out of the corners. This size wheel is great for speed skating, session skating, and especially beneficial for derby skaters who need that extra surface area for balance and/or push.
62mm Features/Benefits:
- Increased roll
- More surface area for speed, roll, grip, balance/stability

Atom Core Technologies
Nylon Cores - As always, Atom Wheels had to be different and take a core that has been around for many years and bring into the 21st Century. Atom used the outdated technology of single based nylon and added a tinge of glass! Yes, you heard us right, glass! 30% glass filled nylon allows for better compressive strength while efficiently bonding to urethane.
Features/Benefits:- Lightweight, Open Core Design
- 30% Glass filled plastic for increased compressive strength while under load
- 30% Lighter than full aluminum core wheels
- Stiffer hub for increased roll over open face designs
- Utilization of glass-filled plastic for increased roll
- Two-piece core design to reduce weight
- Stiffer ride for increased roll
- Increased response due two-piece design
- Increased rigidity due to addition of aluminum
- Hollow Core design
- Stiffer hub design for increased roll
- Increased rigidity due to addition of aluminum
- Able to use lower durometer urethane on "grippier" floors due to rigidity
