Orangatang Dad Bod Wheels 105mm 80a

Orangatang Dad Bod Wheels 105mm 80a

Monster 105mm roll for e-skate and long-distance pushing.

The Dad Bod is Orangatang's 105mm giant, built for riders who measure their sessions in kilometres. It rolls over cracks, rough roads and debris with ease and holds speed for ages. It's made for electric longboards, long-distance pushing and marathon pumping. This set is the 80a durometer.

It's poured in Happy Thane with rounded lips on Orangatang's TrypoCore, a high-strength, high-stiffness, heat-resistant urethane core, with an offset bearing seat. The 62mm width and 57mm contact patch give a stable, grippy footprint, and the sheer amount of urethane soaks up vibration for a smooth, quiet ride. At 428g a wheel, it's a serious piece of kit.

About Orangatang

Orangatang was hatched in Southern California in 2008 as the sister wheel brand of Loaded Boards. The two still share a building and most of the same crew in Culver City: Loaded builds the boards, and Orangatang makes what they roll on.

Orangatang is known for its Happy Thane urethane, a smooth, fast, high-traction formula, poured into shapes for every kind of longboarding, from compact freeride wheels to 105mm giants for distance pushing and e-skate. Every wheel is listed with real numbers for width, contact patch, lip shape and bearing seat, so you can choose exactly the ride you want.

FAQs

What are Orangatang Dad Bod wheels best for?
Electric longboards and long-distance pushing. The 105mm size rolls over rough roads and holds speed, which helps with range and comfort on e-skate. They're also great for marathon pumping and long commutes.

What does 80a mean?
80a is Orangatang's all-rounder hardness. It balances grip and comfort with a bit more slide and speed than 77a, so it suits most riders on most surfaces.

Do I need risers for 105mm wheels?
Yes, on almost every board. Orangatang says riser pads are not optional at this size. Check clearance at full lean and full suspension travel before riding, and make sure your e-skate motor mount or pulleys suit a 105mm wheel.

Will Dad Bods fit my electric skateboard?
They take standard 608 bearings on an 8mm axle, but e-skate drive systems vary and Orangatang doesn't list specific compatibility. Belt-drive boards need a pulley that suits the wheel. Ask us with your board model and we'll check.

Do they come with bearings?
No, they're sold as wheels only. You'll need 8 standard 608 skate bearings for a set of 4, and on longboard wheels we recommend bearings with built-in spacers, or separate spacers, for a smoother, longer-lasting setup.
