Are Cloudwheel Galaxy Wheels Special? Galaxy Pro First Ride

In this video, I go for my first ride on the Cloudwheel Galaxy 105's! These wheels are an interesting parallel to the popular Boosted 105/Mad105 wheels that have been kicking around the market recently. Are they worth it or should you just get Mad105?
The Cloudwheel Galaxy Pros are a brand new urethane wheel that appears to be a spinoff on the classic Boosted 105 wheels. The Boosted105/Mad105 wheels have been quite popular lately, and some time ago, I did a review on the Mads: • MADESK8 / Boosted 105'...
I personally really like the Madwheels and in my opinion, they are still one of the best pure urethane wheels out there. These Clouds aren't that different. They're pure urethane, featuring an Abec Clone core, rear voids in the thane like the Mad105s and a new addition: the grooves. I think the idea behind these grooves is a combination of water repelling ability and increased grip. I did experience a bit more grip with these wheels but have not been able to test out the water feature. Overall they have been decent so far, but I need to put a lot more mils on them before I can have any real conclusions.
For reference, rider testing weight is about 170 lbs.

*Nice review,* love the high top Vans.
⚡🤙🏼🤙🏼⚡
The rollin resistance/drag is the most noticeable con of these types. of wheels. When you let off the throttle or brake uphill you do feel it more than other wheels, slows down a Lot quicker.
Great carvin in this one dude 🤙🏼
I only like wheels over 90mm on DKP drop-through since they ride so low and I have clearance issues over bumps and motor mounts gettin trashed lol.
Boa's newer 74a 90mm are pretty good, similar to 77a 85mm blue cags but seems more chunk-resistant than the blue cags.

[@RBEMotion]

Yeah I don't really notice higher rolling resistance on these or madwheels. Definitely on Onsra 115's though.

[@skfunk4550]

The vibration is what i don't like, i never noticed the noise and that won't bother me. The vibration is noticeable on low speed mostly and you are right about the Dad Bods and the tracking thing. I experienced it with them on the Velar and since i swapped to the Rovers 110R, it's been perfect.

[@RBEMotion]

Yeah that was quite interesting that I didn't notice any vibration either. Personally I don't mind it at all but it doesn heavily depend on what deck you're riding - some propogate them through more than others.

[@ivanalvarenga9080]

The shiny coating is probably a mold release, like they use on fiberglass molds. It would be needed if they use a two piece mold, which I suspect they do to create the grooves. Check for a seam inside the grooves

Nice review. My daughter also has an Envy NLS3. She really wants these due to the colors available. Do you mind saying which 40t pulley and belt you are using on your Envy? Is it the 604-A5 kit on the Cloudwheel website? Thanks.

[@RBEMotion]

Thanks! Yeah, it's the kit that's made for the Meepo Envy on the cloudwheel site.

[@Esk8ologist]

I ride 90mm wheels most of the time, but today I tried my cloudwheel Galaxy, nice grip, feels good n comfortable, but not sure about the range ✌️

[@RBEMotion]

Yeah it will be interesting to see how the range does for these wheels. I think they will do quite well.
