Description
Mota Skates released the Toxic Hybrid wheel mainly for roller derby, but this wheel performs indoors and outdoors. These wheels come in two hardnesses: Grip and Roll. For outdoor/indoor use, choose GRIP. For indoor/derby use only, choose Roll or Grip depending on the surface. These are some of our favorite wheels because they are versatile and durable.
There are several key differences in the design of the Mota Hybrid Toxic Wheels that make it more comfortable and easier to control. Because the 62mm wheel is 41mm wide, it provides superior grip as well as more surface area to dampen vibration. This makes skating on the wheels more comfortable. This hybrid wheel was manufactured for all levels of derby play. After thoroughly evaluating the derby wheel market, Mota decided there was a need for quality wheels that perform on multiple surfaces. Leave it to Mota to produce the wheel at an affordable price. The Mota Hybrid Toxic features a completely new core, new width, new formula, and now in new awesome colors! These wheels are available in 59mm x 38mm and 62mm x 41mm. The 59mm x 38mm is light and agile for fast stable maneuvers and quick reaction. The 62mm x 41mm wheel have a large core to reduce weight. It rivals the speeds of all other hybrids wheels. It is wider than the 38mm wheels, which means it has a larger footprint and increased stability. However, it is less than the standard 44mm wide wheels, which means it is better for agility, foot work, and all-around performance. Mota Skates is owned and operated by Doug and Julie Glass. They were influenced by their past to produce the highest performance wheels on the market today. Mota Skates is producing an exclusive line of wheels dedicated to roller derby. Now available in 2 sizes (59mm x 38mm and 62mm x 41mm) and 5 colors – Black, Blue, Green, Pink, and Purple! On top of all of those options, Mota has made it even easier to choose…you can now get these in multi packs so you can have blue, green, pink, and purple!
Hybrid wheels are great for indoor and outdoor skating.

The Mota Toxic Hybrid wheels are perfect for outdoor quad skating. I purchased 8 (2 sets of 4) 59mm Purple – Grip wheels. The grip on these wheels are serious and I paired these wheels with YOLO ABEC-7 Bearings which Deveskation installed for me! I had purchased the bearing tool just in case I had to install them myself (which I was totally willing to do).
All in all, if you’re looking for outdoor quad skate wheels that have some grip on them, then go with the Grip version! Personally, I wish I got something with a bit more slide so I could practice my Crazy Legs easier outdoors but these wheels will do.
Would definitely recommend if you need the grip outdoors.
