The Labeda Addiction Grip Wheel is a high end, orange, indoor roller hockey wheel available in 80mm, 76mm and 72mm. The Addiction is one of the fastest indoor wheels on the market due to it's use of harder outer and inner urethanes for awesome speed that will still grip the floor. The 8 cutouts in the hub of the wheel allow for great flex and reduce the weight of the wheel making it one of the lighter high end wheels available.
The Orange version is labelled "Grip " is the harder type of the wheel.
If you are looking for a softer, grippier wheel, the Yellow variety of the wheel labelled "Grip" will be a softer wheel, rated for lighter players under 175lbs or for players looking for more grip.

Recommendation:
Our favourite indoor wheel! Every other wheel feels slow compared to this! We are used to hard outdoor wheels. When we originally started playing indoor, all the soft indoor wheels felt slow, like skating in mud. Not anymore! The Addiction feels very hard, making it so fast and responsive that we can't feel any energy being lost from the normal "squishy" feeling from super soft wheels. Highly recommended!
Surface Info: Labeda can only recommend that you use these wheels on Plastic Tile / Sport Court surfaces. From experience I know they will perform great on smooth or painted concrete as well, but the concrete puts a beating on them which can shorten the life. Using wheels off of a recommended surface would be at the skaters risk and not covered by warranty.
