New Generation of Indoor Racing
Pushing boundaries in the flat-track speed skating world is where it all started in 1986, fast forward to 2023, it remains our leading focus. From Hyper Octane to Atom IQ to our most current Duo-Tech, Neal Piper has redesigned, retooled, reinvigorated a new generation of race wheels…again!
The development of Whiplash started over a decade ago. From our Torus to IQ technologies, we have redesigned, retooled, and rebirthed a new generation of race wheels all around Duo-Tech.
Whiplash’s new Divergent SS is rigid and responsive, transferring energy and pop into Piper’s SuperThane tire & central engine that separates us from others.
- Divergent SS: New materials specifically for indoor flat-track racing, rigid and responsive
- Divergent core: flex-return, enhances steerability and ease of skating
- Duo-Tech: 2-n-1 (Two wheels in one), our central engine
- Duo-Tech, casted with supercharged soft urethane
- SuperThane tire formula: Magnifies energy & longevity
- Size: 110 M-Disc 74mm / speed profile
- Size: 100 Velocity core 64mm /speed profile matches 110
- Size 90 Velocity core 54mm: no insert, same formula, speed profile
- Hardness – XF 89a & XXF 91a
Technology
Duo Technology is the central engine that separates us from others.
Piper’s previous experience combined with iQ technology, and eliminating the floating band, facilitated the creation of a new inline race wheel with unique DNA. Duo-Tech, our most comprehensive dual wheel ever.
- 2-N-1 (two wheels in one): Casted inside and out, higher-energy, more grip, more control.
- Built from the inside out: Complete control over the inside, shape/design, size, overall volume, and materials. Like adjusting the amount of air in a Pneumatic tire or ball.
- Core, mantle, tire, fused as one. Cast one wheel, cast another, it’s more than just where the tire meets the road when it comes to inline racing.
Duo-Tech has exhilarated an entirely new generation of wheels.
Duo-Tech, Core, Tire, Wheel Assembly
- Duo-Tech – High-elasticity and energy, increased speed, and control
- Cores – Advanced materials to extract and amplify speed and grip
- Tire – Thinner tire for maximum feel and overall performance
- Wheel – Three-piece construction fused together as one
