MPC has emerged in the last two years as one of the top — if not the top — maker of wheels for outdoor track skating. This year, the U.S. wheel maker hopes to extend its success to road skating — and it's off to a fast start. 
MPC VT 100mm wheel Skating on MPC's new VT 100mm wheels, veteran racer Diego Rosero destroyed a world-class field at the Pre Worlds marathon two weeks ago in Cartagena, Colombia. The 26-year-old Colombian finished nearly three minutes ahead of second place Joey Mantia, the reigning world marathon champion, and third-place Massimiliano Presti, the reigning World Inline Cup champion. "We always knew we had a superior track wheel," said MPC spokesman Paul DiJulio. "But Cartagena showed that this wheel can win against anyone." The Big Bounce What makes MPC wheels different is their dual-density construction. They have an inner layer of a proprietary urethane that is similar to the stuff of Super Balls. The company says the bouncy inner urethane gives the wheels more rebound, thus making them faster. (Wheels with higher rebound meet with less surface resistance.) The higher rebound also allows for the use of a harder outer urethane. (Rosero's wheels in Cartagena were durometer 88A. Typically, outdoor racers use 84-85A wheels.) weiterlesen
