Globe Bantam Cruiserboard - 62 mm Wheels and ABEC-7 Bearings
Published on 09/24/2026 at 12:32 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Globe Bantam Cruiserboard is a compact plastic cruiser complete built around a 24-inch deck, soft wheels, and a kicktail. The clear version uses a nylon-injection deck with a narrow 7-inch width.
Compact Deck And Cruiser Setup
The Bantam Clear measures 24 inches in deck length and 7 inches in deck width. Its 62 mm wheels use 83A polyurethane, while the molded kicktail adds a raised rear section for board control.
The complete carries 4.25-inch, or 108 mm, hanger hardware and ABEC-7 bearing precision. Those dimensions place the board below full-size street and longboard formats, with a short platform designed for compact cruising.
Wheels Trucks And Ride Feel
The 62 mm wheel diameter gives the Bantam a larger rolling surface than small technical skateboard wheels. The 83A hardness is a softer cruiser specification, and the 52 mm wheel width keeps the wheel profile compact.
Globe's US cruiser collection describes its completes as boards fitted with ABEC-7 bearings and softer cruiser wheels. The collection also lists the Bantam within the broader cruiser category alongside longer Globe shapes.
Where The Bantam Fits
Compared with a longboard, the Bantam's 24-inch deck takes less space to carry and store. Compared with a standard street skateboard, its 83A wheels and 62 mm diameter are oriented toward cruising rather than technical trick hardware.
The Bantam Clear suits riders who want a fully assembled plastic cruiser with a kicktail, compact dimensions, and soft polyurethane wheels. Its 7-inch deck is narrower than many larger cruisers, so riders seeking a broad standing platform should look to a longer board.
Specifications And Use Case
As a category product, the Bantam is a cruiser skateboard complete rather than a deck-only release. Its documented configuration combines a 24-inch nylon-injection deck, 7-inch width, 62 mm wheels, 83A hardness, 4.25-inch hanger width, and ABEC-7 bearings.
