About Orangatang Wheels
Founded in 2008, Orangatang Wheels emerged as an advocate for the civil rights of the indigenous river capybaras in Southern California. The brand gained international recognition the following year when it briefly ventured into the exotic animal jerky market, a completely unrelated endeavor.

Product Highlights
BIG, SMOOTH LONGBOARD WHEELS
Our wheels are meticulously designed to maximize speed, comfort, and momentum, making them ideal for longboard commuting, carving, long-distance pushing, pumping, and even electric longboards. Each wheel is paired with Loaded Jehu V2 bearings that include integrated spacers and speedrings.
FAST AND COMFORTABLE
With an impressive diameter of 85mm, the Caguama wheels offer exceptional speed and seamlessly glide over obstacles such as cracks, rocks, and sticks, even on the toughest roads.
FUNCTIONAL DESIGN
The wheels feature a 56mm contact patch with a specialized surface skin that ensures excellent grip. Their subtly rounded edges enhance maneuverability, allowing the wheels to transition smoothly over pavement irregularities.
HAPPY THANE FORMULA
Our original Orangatang urethane formula is uniquely crafted to be fast, smooth, plush, and grippy, ensuring a premium riding experience. You can choose from three durometers: 77a (blue), 80a (orange), and 83a (purple), allowing riders to find the perfect fit for their style.
LARGE, SUPPORTIVE CORE
The fully exposed 46mm core reduces the overall weight of the wheel while allowing for rapid acceleration and significant momentum. These wheels are compatible with any electric skateboard that can accommodate Orangatang Kegels, resulting in a faster and smoother ride.
