Plumes
Meet the Plumes by La Paulade - Barthélémy’s Pro Model.
The Plumes take our trusted urethane formula from the PolYmers and reshape it - in 70mm - for pure freeride flow. With a narrow 42 mm contact patch, thick rounded lips, and a small inner core, they’re built for effortless slides, high comfort, and a forgiving ride.
The stoneground finish feels broken-in from the first ride, releasing easily even at low speed. Whether you're bombing city hills, dialing in new standies, or just out to have fun, the Plumes keep it smooth and intuitive - no fight, no surprises.
The smaller core means more urethane underfoot, which extends the lifespan of the wheel and boosts ride comfort by soaking up road vibration. The rounded lips reduce edge grip for soft, predictable transitions from grip to slip - perfect for stand-up slides.
Poured in our signature La Paulade Classic 76A formula, they wear consistently and feel the same from top to core.
This is Barthélémy’s wheel. Known across Europe for his fluid, stylish standies, he helped shape the Plumes to reflect his riding - clean, comfortable, and confidently sideways.

Discover our take on making the perfect
Freeride wheel
Slide exactly how you expect. Every time, everywhere.
Skate like Barth
Every slide he does looks effortless ; clean standups, perfect control, always smooth. He rides fast, light, and with style that’s hard to match. When he asked for a wheel that could hold bigger standies and feel freer underfoot, we listened. The Plumes are his vision on urethane.
Q&A
Please read our FAQs page to find out more.
Are the Plumes centerset?
Yes, the Plumes are centerset. We strongly recommend flipping them from time to time to keep the wear even and reduce conning -especially if you're riding narrow trucks like we do. It helps preserve that clean, predictable slide they’re made for.
Do the Plumes have swirls?
Some Plumes from batch 317601 showed light cosmetic swirls during testing. These were purely visual and didn’t lead to uneven wear or affect performance. So far, production batches have stayed consistent with the smooth finish we aimed for.
That said, feel free to contact us if you ever notice a defect that could be related to swirling - we’re always down to take a closer look.
