Source: icewarehouse.com (verified 2026-08-11). Ice Warehouse's spec table (authorized Riedell dealer) lists the wheel size verbatim as "62x43mm" and hardness as "95A" — the 95A figure is unusually hard for a recreational skate and is recorded as directly quoted rather than corrected by analogy, since no conflicting figure was found; wheel_diameter_mm uses the 62mm leading figure, with 43mm read as wheel width. Vinyl boot with cloth lining and velcro/lace closure, PowerDyne Thrust nylon plate, ABEC-5 bearings, and an adjustable PowerDyne toe stop with nut & washer lock are also confirmed on this page. USA Skates independently corroborates the PowerDyne Thrust Nylon plate, ABEC-5 ("KwiK ABEC-5") bearings, Midi Gripper-style vinyl boot, and $199.99 price, but lists Radar Cayman wheels without a diameter/durometer figure.
