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 Caguama wheels best for?
Covering distance. The 85mm size rolls fast and smooths out rough roads, so they're ideal for commuting, long pushes, pumping and electric longboards. They also carve well thanks to the wide contact patch.

What does 77a mean?
77a is the softest Orangatang durometer. It gives the most grip and the smoothest, quietest roll over rough ground, but it slides less easily and wears a little faster. Great for lighter riders, rough roads and maximum hook-up.

Do I need risers for 85mm wheels?
Usually, unless your board was built for big wheels. Drop-through boards with deep wheel cut-outs and many e-skate decks can take 85mm without risers. On a topmount board, expect to need a tall riser and check clearance at full lean before you ride.

Will Caguamas fit my trucks?
Yes, they use standard 608 bearings and fit any standard 8mm skateboard axle. Check that your board has clearance for the 85mm size, and that your trucks are wide enough to stop the wheels touching the deck in turns.

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.
