In brief
MPC Storm Surge 125 mm XGrip rain wheels are 6 wheels for skates in a 3 × 125 mm layout, for racers and ambitious skaters who compete on wet routes. The soft inner ring and the XGrip compound spread the pressure over a larger area, which increases friction on flooded asphalt. The wheels have the blue/clear tint of the Rain Edition. On dry asphalt they wear out quickly.

Who it’s for
- You race marathons or road races on 3 × 125 mm skates and do not give up when it rains.
- You train for speed skating on rainy days too and need a separate set for wet asphalt.
- You skate on VooDoo wheels and want Storm Surge for a mixed setup in changeable conditions.
Key features
- XGrip rain compound
- Polyurethane developed for wet surfaces: together with the soft inner ring it spreads the pressure over a larger area and increases friction even on flooded asphalt.
- Multi-Layer construction
- Rain wheels are softer and wear faster than dry ones, but the multi-layer build lets them keep their properties through many intensive training sessions.
- 125 mm diameter
- A larger wheel rolls for longer and gives higher speed and stability at a deep lean — hence the choice for marathons and road races.
- For a mixed setup
- When the route alternates between dry and wet, Storm Surge is fitted at the front for grip and VooDoo at the back for speed.
- Rain Edition tint
- The blue/clear colour sets the rain set apart from wheels for dry surfaces, so you will not mix them up in your bag before the start.

Care and servicing
After every ride in the rain, take off the wheels, dry them and check the bearings. Do not store them wet in your bag — moisture damages metal parts and weakens the hub.
Questions and answers
Do 125 mm wheels fit every frame?
Not every one — they fit frames in a 3 × 125 mm configuration. Make sure the frame and boot leave enough room for such a large diameter.
Can they be used on dry asphalt?
No. XGrip is a compound for wet surfaces; on dry asphalt it wears out quickly and loses grip.
How do they differ from the smaller Storm Surge sizes?
A larger wheel means longer rolling, higher speed and stability at a deep lean. 90 and 100 mm work better on technical tracks and shorter distances, 125 mm in marathons and road races.
Will they work when the route is only partly wet?
Yes, although they work best on an evenly wet surface. If dry and wet sections alternate, consider a mixed setup: Storm Surge and VooDoo.
Are they heavier than the dry VooDoo 125 mm wheels?
Slightly, because the XGrip compound has a denser structure. The difference does not affect ride comfort.
