It's obvious by now. Seismic and its defcon formula, is the greatest in the world. I'm sure the vast majority of you agree.

I dare say that the g-loc Delta formula surpasses DefCon in performance, durability & both grip + the slide
G-Loc was designed for high rebound and speed retention, with availability in 73.5A and 75.5A durometers
the stuff is next level
@Jefe W
ok fair enough, I haven't tried Deltas. Thanks for the input. The formula is based on the DEFCON & is very similar. I'm still riding the same defcon speed vents I got back in 2014. High rebound, fast, slides smooth, absolutely perfect. Seismic used to be behind Venom in the early 2010's in terms of Performance but now I think it's clear, Seismic makes the best wheels on the planet.
Btw you are from Spain?.. If you see Rafa or Tato, tell them that Lugz says wassup.
@BBL nah, Nashville . @musiccitydh 😉
speedvents are dope.
I'd say for past 2 seasons including this one , Seismic is the dominant wheel in racing.
@BBL Big agree, the only reason ive personally not bought them (been through a few scrubs tho) is cost.
@Matt Needs Wheels
warehouse skateboards (online) has 78mm blast waves in defcon formula for 71$ if that helps at all
@Matt Needs Wheels
honestly, me n my crew were pretty strapped when we bought sets last year. they have turned out to be exceptionally valued w the increased durability. the yellow ones are lasting far longer than mags ridden as far past the skin & still performing . any wheel costs too much but now we need to milk as much per set as possible unless u on flow...
@BBL still damn steep.
@Jefe W I ride kevos or podiums as a better value option personally, though ill say I'm no speed racer so I don't need the same benefits of seismic some others may need.
@Matt Needs Wheels
Yah to be fair I've never bought seismics & I've been riding them most of my lyfe
@BBL yeah, I've inherited my share of scrubbed race wheels . I have friends & acquaintances who race so I can usually snag some 2-4 run sets after race events . Deltas = perople get em , use TF out of them & don't want to really let go of . I bought green & yellow sets when they came out cuz I knew they'd last me a good while . I even let my bromie run the new skin off the yellow set ,racing at Soldiers of Downhill last fall (2 runs) & they still grip like mad for me . After the skin begins it's slow degradation on the yellow 73.5a deltas - 5-10 runs - they have one of the most gratifying & responsive slide characteristics I've experienced on a >70mm wide race wheel.
to each their own : I like podiums & have gone thru several sets of red Kevin's personally..mthose are both good wheels respectively, & for certain use cases , but neither are going to be competitive at 2025 racing lvl .
