It rolls over rough ground easily and holds speed, which also makes it a popular choice for e-skate and bracket boards. This set is the 77a durometer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt's poured in Happy Thane with large rounded lips and a centre-set core, so you can flip the wheels for even wear. The 54mm width and 44mm contact patch keep grip predictable and allow safe, controlled slides when needed. There's 21mm of urethane depth, so there's plenty to wear through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e90mm diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e big roll for distance and rough roads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e44mm contact patch:\u003c\/strong\u003e predictable grip and controlled slides\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLarge rounded lips:\u003c\/strong\u003e smooth, controlled release\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentre-set core:\u003c\/strong\u003e flip the wheels for even wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e21mm urethane depth:\u003c\/strong\u003e plenty of urethane to wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eE-skate friendly:\u003c\/strong\u003e suits e-skate and bracket boards\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 90mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 54mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContact patch:\u003c\/strong\u003e 44mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDurometer:\u003c\/strong\u003e 77a (range: 77a, 80a)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLip profile:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rounded lips with surface skin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCore position:\u003c\/strong\u003e Centre-set\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 286g (10.1oz) per wheel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest for:\u003c\/strong\u003e Distance pushing, commuting, pumping, carving, e-skate\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 Bee's Knees wheels best for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nLong-distance pushing, commuting and pumping. The 90mm size rolls fast over rough roads, and they're also used on e-skate and bracket boards where range and comfort matter.\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 90mm wheels?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nOn most boards, yes. Unless your deck is built for big wheels, like many e-skate decks and drop-throughs with deep cut-outs, plan on a tall riser. Always check clearance at full lean before riding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy centre-set?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA centre-set core lets you flip the wheels around. That evens out wear on both edges, keeps the ride consistent and gets more life out of the set.\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.
