Skate like Ritchi

Ritchi’s been with La Paulade since the very beginning. He’s a real try-harder - fighting his way up, crashing, learning, and charging again. That’s the spirit behind his riding, and exactly why the PolYmers are his Pro Model.

Q&A

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

Are the PolYmers centerset?

Yes, the PolYmers are centerset. However, there’s a slight asymmetry in the lip profile:
the cutting side is slightly thicker and sharper, which gives a bit more edge feel when the wheels are fresh. The inprint side is thinner, meaning it will deforms more under load once the skin is gone. You can flip the wheels, and some riders do it early on to get a touch more grip and hookup from the sharper cutting lip.

Do the PolYmers have swirls?

Some PolYmers may show visible cosmetic swirls depending on the batch. These swirls have been purely visual - we’ve never experienced uneven wear or performance issues as a result. Batch 117602 had the most noticeable swirls, so we made improvements to the production process. So far, batch 117603 looks much cleaner and closer to what we originally intended.

Do the PolYmers chunk?

The La Paulade Classic formula is quite resilient and holds up well against chunking. Like any high-rebound urethane, chunks can happen - typically after a crash or a hard freestyle-style landing on an incline. But in regular downhill or freeride use, even on rough pavement, chunking shouldn’t be an issue.
