It holds momentum, smooths out rough roads and stays locked in when you're going fast. It suits downhill and race riders, hard carvers and anyone who wants a big, confident wheel for long runs. This set is the 77a durometer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt's poured in Happy Thane with sharp lips and an offset bearing seat on a stiff, heat-resistant core. The 56mm width and full 56mm contact patch put a lot of urethane on the road, so it grips hard in corners. It's designed for grip first, so it holds its line through high-speed corners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e80mm diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e big roll speed and momentum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e56mm contact patch:\u003c\/strong\u003e maximum grip and stability at speed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSharp lips:\u003c\/strong\u003e stays railed through fast corners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOffset bearing seat:\u003c\/strong\u003e grip first through fast corners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHappy Thane:\u003c\/strong\u003e smooth, fast, high-traction urethane\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeat-resistant core:\u003c\/strong\u003e high-strength, high-stiffness urethane\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 56mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContact patch:\u003c\/strong\u003e 56mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDurometer:\u003c\/strong\u003e 77a (range: 77a, 80a, 83a)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLip profile:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sharp lips with surface skin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCore position:\u003c\/strong\u003e Offset\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCore:\u003c\/strong\u003e High-strength, high-stiffness, heat-resistant urethane\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormula:\u003c\/strong\u003e Happy Thane\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 230g (8.2oz) per wheel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest for:\u003c\/strong\u003e Speed, racing, downhill, fast commutes, long pushes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSold as:\u003c\/strong\u003e Set of 4 (bearings not included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Orangatang\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrangatang 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrangatang 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFAQs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are Orangatang Kegel wheels best for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nSpeed and grip. They're built for downhill, racing and hard carving, where the big 80mm size and full 56mm contact patch keep you locked in. Orangatang also pitches them for fast commutes, long pushes and electric longboards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does 77a mean?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n77a 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need risers for 80mm wheels?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nOn drop-through and many drop-deck boards with wheel cut-outs, often not. On a topmount, you'll usually need a riser and should check for wheelbite at full lean before riding. Tighter trucks need less clearance than loose ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre Kegels good for sliding?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThey're built for grip, not drift. Orangatang designs the Kegel to stay planted through high-speed corners, so it won't break loose as easily as a rounded-lip freeride wheel. For learning slides, a rounded-lip wheel like the Fat Free or Beefcake is the better choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo they come with bearings?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nNo, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Buy From Twelve Board Store\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔️ Free shipping Australia-wide on orders over $90\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔️ Expert skate advice from real riders, 7 days a week\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔️ Easy returns for a hassle-free experience\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔️ Huge range of skate, snow \u0026amp; electric gear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✔️ Proudly Australian owned \u0026amp; operated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWheels with attitude.
