The Mcfly is the biggest paradigm shift in wheel tech I’ve experienced at once. Even at the same duro of other wheels, the McFly will absorb cracks and bumps that would be almost unridable. Despite this, they roll as fast as other high duro wheels in testing. But the sensation of silence and smoothness is something you’ve never experienced I promise. If that isn’t enough to push you over the edge, they slide better than any other 85mm wheel, and they don’t chunk. You can seriously cut a giant slice in them with a sharp object, and it won’t chunk off still. They’re insanely durable.

Mcflys provide tons of cushion for the pushin! I have fully switched to mcflys on all of my distance push setups- they are PLUSH (can’t say this enough)! I find them to carry momentum extremely well- especially over rough terrain. My lap times have improved as well. Truly a comfortable LDP wheel. They are also durable and it seems that chunking is NOT an issue, at all. After skating these, it’s hard to go skate any others!

I picked up the McFlys after hearing about them from content creators I follow and trust. I heard the McFlys were high rebound fast rolling wheels that could soak up a lot of road vibration. Soft, yet fast. The McFlys were also showing themselves to be durable and resistant to chunking. When Pantheon brought these out as their choice for completes, I knew I needed to try a set. I was looking to replace a set of Caguamas I had lost, and went for it. I am glad I did… although I loved my Cags, the McFlys are next level. They roll beautifully and smoothly over good surfaces and are untroubled when the road turns rough. I have not had them long enough to comment on long-term durability, but I can say I have had them on some bad surfaces already, and they remain undamaged by the road debris I encountered . One of my goto YouTube channels, Longboarding Explained, captured the feeling well in his review when he said the wheels “… make you arrogant…” as you blast over whatever you like, shouldering pebbles and sticks aside. Great work 88 Wheel Co!

I normally ride speed vents but when I saw that the McFlys were chunk resistant I wanted to try them. I always chunk my speed vents and it annoys me because I have set-up madness. So far no chunks out of the McFlys despite plenty of abuse. They’re slightly slower than speed vents, but definitely quieter, plusher, and smoother. I very much enjoy the ride of my McFlys and these are my new go-to wheels. I highly recommend you give them a try.

Best wheels I’ve used on my Loaded Icarus I push for about 10-15 miles on various asphalt and have been through a bunch of wheels. Orange, Cults, etc and nothing comes close to the comfort, smoothness and shock absorption like these beauties. My back is a lot happier too as I don’t feel every stick and pebble like before.

I heartily agree with the durability and comfort claims for this wheel, but I think its rolling resistance defeats the performance gains that a narrow contact patch and light weight design would offer (at least on paper). I really wanted to love these wheels, but my leg muscles (and gravity) don’t lie. If you have a setup that requires a narrow wheel, then these are the ticket, otherwise Boa Hatchlings deliver similar comfort and durability, but at much higher performance.

Got these for my Pranayama and I am very happy with them.
they ride very smooth while being able to keep speed well
they feel rather easy to get going from a full stop in comparison to other wheels in same size
grip is good enough
they also seem to be very durable dunno what magic they have in this urethane
definetly recommended!

These wheels are amazingly plush, amazingly fast and all of that without being ugly or sluggish. It’s worth every cent fr

These wheels are so nice! I got them back in the end of September because I was getting into using my longboard for commuting and exercise, and after reading up on them, I felt these were the wheels to go for in terms of in town commuting and I am so glad to have not been wrong!
When they say these wheels are plush and don’t chunk, they aren’t wrong. I live in an area where the streets and sidewalks vary in quality. The city recently started repaving the roads, so it’s been getting really nice and I have a route that is super smooth. But then there are the roads or sidewalks that haven’t been worked on and they are cracked and a bit pot-holey, and these wheels handle it all.

I’m a huge fan of my McFlys! Their narrow contact patch makes them super easy to get going fast quickly on my pusher (pranayama), and their diameter makes them ideal for maintaining momentum. Plus, their durometer hits the sweet spot for chewing up cracks and obstacles in the pavement so I can keep rolling!
They’re well worth the investment

Probably great for a commuter wheel, but for serious LDP there is just too much rolling resistance with the soft durometer. Wheels ovalize under heavy pushing (I’m 200 lbs) and seen to squish up and come to a stop against pavement irregularities that are easily clearable by most other wheels. Probably OK for commuting/short rides but not for LDP competition or training miles at a fast pace. Feel like marshmallows.
