hornet or hotshot?

[nibbler 0]

hey guys,

iam looking for new wheels.

hotshot or hornet?

or a combo with both of them?

[iceburg19 1]

hot shots ,the best bang for the buck.

I agree. The hotshots are great for the price and seem to last forever. I really didn't see much of, if any difference with the hornets.

i much preferred the hot shot over the hornet. I found that they had just as good a performance but much better durability. They're also cheaper.

On the other hand, i'm now on revision variants, and i think they beat both the hornets and hot shots hands down. Just my PP though.

How are the durability on those Revisions? I've never used anything other than Hyper or Rink Rat.

i have only been using mine for a few weeks, but a few friends of mine have been using them for months and they're holding up great.

For the price... you cannot beat the hotshots I had mine for over a year before they died. The revisions are also a good wheel My first set lasted at least 4 months, and I've been on my second set since september-october.

IMHO - you cannot go wrong with either of the three

They're all excellent wheels.

what kind of surface are you playing on? If its a pretty rough surface i'd say get the world cup wheels - those have held up great for me. I had hotshots and after a month and a half or so they pretty much all started to fall apart. I think i had 2 wheels break in one practice.

I must be the only person who prefers the Hornets, as my biggest strength in inline is my speed rather than shooting or stick handling, I notice a fair difference between the slightly wider Hot Shots and the narrower Hornets. When I repped for them last year I asked inquiring players about their skating style, if they had a short and choppy stride I recommended the Hot Shots as they will give them more surface area and more agility, but if they were like me and their game centered around speed I recommended the Hornets.

Both seem to last forever and I will skate on the brand as long as I can.

Just an opinion though I'm sure experiences will vary.

i was looking at hornets on hockeymonkey.com and the only two they have are the black and yellow ones. The yellow ones are 76A and the black ones are 78A

hardness. I am looking for the white ones that came on my CCM Vector 08's. Anyone know what hardness these are? And where i can get some, or if they are the

same as the yellow or the black ones?

[nickyb13 9]

the white hornets on the Vector O8 are 76A and I beleive they are made just for that particular skate but are the same as the yellow ones just with a different color

I dont know about anyone else but I have th hot shot wheels on my skates now and I think they are way better then the hornet wheels.

I didn't like the wider profile of the hotshots as much as the hornets but I felt that the hotshots lasted longer

[kpeach122 0]

Damn, im so split on which ones to buy now, i have the hornets but they didnt last as long as i hoped. Alot of people say that hot shots last longer, i just want to be sure that they will have a great grip on the sport court i play on

What is the difference between these two wheels? are the yellow-green ones just older model? looks the same to me except color.
