Pantheon Hoku Wheels First Impression Comparison and Specs 

yea same here. the SpeedVents are just comfort wheels!

Go for it they are definitively fun!

Glad you like em! I'll have to experiment myself as well, so we will see ;)

For more Pushing efficiency, this sounds liek a smart move! But if you want a tank go for the dadbods ;D

Hey not really. I simply use my trainers. Just go for what is comfortable for you!

Phew, they look good! Too bad Shipping is more than the cost of the wheels. Are they nice

@@skate-horizons in my opinion yes they are nice, i use them for LDP and with some strip shock absorbers all bad vibrations are kept at a minimum. I use the cal 7s on my prism tropicalia sled, great combo.

*almost* ? that sounds painful.

@@bbaker6212 It doesn't bite when skating, but if I'm stationary and lean with all my weight really hard on one side, it starts rubbing.

Even with a drop down board like a Supersonic, or a bracket setup?

Nah, you are most likely gonna be fine, but what Setup do have and whats your usual path like?

I have both McFlys and Hokus. It takes a little more effort to get the board up to speed with the Hokus, but you will benefit from a longer roll distance before needing to put your foot down for the next push. Also, road imperfections have less slowing effect on the larger wheels. In terms of energy expenditure, I think it's a wash. My only negative is since they carry more momentum, they also require more effort to slow down/foot brake. As for Hokus vs Karma, it depends on your board and setup.

@@skate-horizons Pranayama, paris 149mm, mcflys, riptide short barrel 95a (i think thats the red one) APS on all 4 and zealous ofc. My path is wild. Some parts are recently paved and others look like they've been unattended for decades💀

​@@eloitsreno I did a comparrison between karmas and mcflys with a friend last week: the smaller mcflys still have more urethane than karmas and feel softer, so if your path has wild sections, I would say go with the bigger hokus! Karmas are however faster than mcflys, the hokus are probably faster than both 😁

@@LDPizza Time to get hokus and stylus it seems! Thanks a lot man🤙

@@insanogeddon Hey, I can see what you mean. The measurements are not 100÷ accurate, they are going to be off a couple of mm. The background however is not fine enough for distinctions. And yes when it comes to performance on the road for distance pushing purposes, from my experience there are clear winners! These wheels were designed in a certain way and it shows at what they are good at. I can see why it might look misdirecting to some, but I can't stop people to have assumptions from a video. They have to go out and try to build their own opinions! I can see that there might be better options to present in a comparison, when someone wants to buy a ~100mm wheel. But people don't usually want a certain sized wheel, they want a performant one. That's why you don't see a lot of super large wheels but mostly 85-95mm wheels. And that's why you see the ones in here. They are popular. But thanks for the feedback, I still have a lot to improve!

sure

Actually sounds like a good IDea to have small Videos on Gear Compability!

Heyhey, to be honst I prefer smaller wheels for pumping. on my dedicated top mount pumper I run 70-75mm and that seems like a good spot for me. I mihgt try 80s with some wedging. Maybe not the fastest, but fun and playful!

Yes, the Dadbods are more comfortable! Might be the added mass, but im not sure. I think also the wider contact patch plays a big role!

It willl be very close. I wouldnt do it.
