Undercover Earth 80mm 88A – UHR Wheels for Freeskate & Urban
The Undercover Earth 80mm 88A wheels combine the performance of UHR (Ultra High Rebound) urethane with a more sustainable approach to wheel construction.
Developed by Powerslide together with MATTER urethane specialists, the Earth wheels use 15% corn-based polyurethane, a Reflex hub made with 20% recycled plastic, and natural inks for printing.
But sustainability is only part of the story. Their 80mm diameter, 88A hardness and Speed/Bullet profile are designed to deliver a fast, precise and responsive ride, making them particularly suitable for freeskate, urban skating and freestyle.
Eco Urethane + UHR Technology
The Earth wheels use a polyurethane formulation containing partially plant-based raw materials.
15% of the polyurethane is corn-based, reducing the reliance on conventional raw materials while maintaining the performance characteristics expected from an Undercover wheel.
Their distinctive natural milky appearance also eliminates the need for additional color pigments in the urethane itself.
A combination of performance and reduced environmental impact in one wheel.
Reflex Hub with 20% Recycled Material
The Earth wheels feature a Reflex Hub manufactured using 20% recycled plastic.
The hub provides the structural support needed to efficiently transfer the skater's energy into the urethane, maintaining consistent response during acceleration and directional changes.
This means recycled material is incorporated into one of the wheel's key structural components rather than being limited to secondary packaging or design elements.
80mm / 88A – Speed and Control
The combination of 80mm diameter and 88A hardness makes the Earth an excellent configuration for freeskate and fast urban skating.
The 80mm diameter provides good rolling efficiency and speed retention, while the 88A urethane offers a firm, precise and responsive feel.
An excellent setup for skaters looking for a fast and reactive wheel for:
- Freeskate
- Urban skating
- Freestyle
- Fast commuting
- Technical maneuvers
- Skaters who prefer a firmer, more responsive wheel
Speed / Bullet Profile
The Speed/Bullet profile is designed to promote fast rolling and agile handling.
Its geometry reduces the effective contact area compared with flatter profiles, helping directional changes feel quicker and more responsive.
Combined with the 80mm diameter, this creates an effective balance between speed, stability and maneuverability.
UHR – Ultra High Rebound
The Undercover Earth uses UHR (Ultra High Rebound) urethane, developed to provide excellent energy return.
The result is a wheel with a fast, smooth and lively rolling sensation, particularly noticeable when maintaining speed or accelerating repeatedly.
The aim is to convert more of the skater's input into forward motion, avoiding the dull or sluggish feeling that can occur with less responsive wheel compounds.
A Different Kind of Undercover Wheel
The Undercover Earth stands out by incorporating more sustainable solutions throughout several elements of its construction:
15% corn-based polyurethane
20% recycled material in the hub
Natural inks for printing
UHR – Ultra High Rebound urethane
Urethane manufactured in the USA
This isn't simply a conventional wheel with an eco-friendly marketing message. The Earth project was specifically developed to reduce the environmental impact associated with some of the materials used in inline skate wheel production.
