Orangatang

The Orangatang story

Orangatang is the wheel brand from Loaded, built with the same engineering obsession that defines Loaded decks. Their Happy Thane urethane formula is designed for an ideal balance of grip, controllable slide, speed and roll, and each model is shaped and tuned for a specific discipline. These are not generic wheels: every model is engineered for a purpose, which is exactly why serious longboarders run them.

How do you choose Orangatang wheels?

Two things drive the choice. Diameter: bigger rolls faster and smoother over rough ground, smaller is lighter and quicker. Durometer and shape: softer grips more, harder slides more easily, lipped shapes grip through carves, rounded-lip shapes release for controlled slides. Most models come in multiple durometers, so tell us how and where you ride and we will match the right wheel and hardness.

Which Orangatang wheel should you get?

• Kegel — a larger, fast-rolling wheel for distance, commuting and downhill speed.
• Stimulus — a smaller, nimble wheel for cruising and freeride.
• 4President — a versatile all-round wheel for carving and cruising.
• In Heat and Onsen — larger performance wheels for downhill and fast freeride.

Are Orangatang wheels worth it?

For serious longboarding, yes. The urethane and wheel shaping are engineered to a level generic wheels do not reach, which makes them a genuine buy-once-buy-right upgrade. They also suit rough Australian roads well, since the larger diameters and softer formulas absorb vibration and roll smoothly over uneven surfaces, and many riders run them on electric longboards for the same reason.
