The Profile II Wheel strikes the perfect balance between speed and grip, shaped by rider-tested feedback and refined performance engineering. Its unique profile and updated urethane-to-core ratio improve speed, increase rebound, and minimize chunking — even during the most demanding street sessions. At the center of every wheel sits Native's latest innovation: the SUPER8 bearings. Featuring 20% larger balls, a 27% wider outer diameter, and a 28% thicker profile than standard bearings, SUPER8 bearings push performance to new heights while maintaining compatibility with the industry’s standard axle size. This oversized construction creates clear mechanical advantages. The larger balls and expanded race dimensions spread load across a wider surface, lowering point pressure and reducing material stress — a combination that drastically cuts down structural fatigue over time. By minimizing friction at key contact points, the design reduces rolling resistance and maximizes energy transfer, turning rider input into smooth forward momentum with less drag. The added mass and stability of the larger components ensure a smoother ride at higher speeds, while the reinforced structure extends bearing life even under aggressive use.
