How to Choose Your Stiffness
All Konixx wheels are given one of two types of stiffness designations. The first is the standard "A" rating designation. The second is our exclusive "+" rating system which is required due to the complexity of our wheels made for tiled surfaces . Please refer to the information below to help in your decision about picking the Konixx wheel best suited for your given skating style/surface.
