Orangatang Kegel 80 mm 83a Downhill Longboard Skateboard Cruising Wheels w/Loaded Jehu V2 bearings (Purple, Set of 4)
Are Kegels right for you?
Having trouble containing yourself after a hearty feast? Can’t quite seem to raise the drawbridge all the way? Is it time to tighten up the honey pot now that baby bear got outta there? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, it may be time to consider making Kegels a part of your personal workout regimen.
How do they ride?
The Orangatang Kegel is your ticket to high-speed steamroller action and the obliteration of a variety of small mammals. The large 80mm diameter generates high roll speeds while a moderate width of 56 mm allows for a versatile balance of traction and slide response. A cantilevered outer lip with a straight profile is pliable enough to hug the road for grip while also ensuring consistent performance as the wheel wears. The shorter inner lip features a subtle inward bevel for race-worthy traction and predictable drifts. A fully-exposed 46mm core with a deep “valley”-shaped cross section reduces weight while providing good acceleration, lots of momentum, and crisp slides.
Which urethane formula?
The Kegel is poured in our proprietary Happy Thane formula for high roll speed, excellent traction, and smooth, predictable drifts.
What’s included?
A set of four (4) longboard skateboard wheels.

Orangatang Wheels was hatched in 2008 as a means of advocating for the civil liberties of the indigenous river capybaras of Southern California. We also gained international praise in 2009 for our brief and completely unrelated foray into exotic animal jerky manufacturing and wholesale.

These are my 4th set of O’tangs 1st set of Kegel’s and they did not disappoint. I mounted them on my Longboard Larry Pusher …
For these, light speed is the best speed. They only miss the fifth star because they’re not really intended for my riding style.Great wheels.First thing: I’ve only been riding on these wheels for 5 days. Also, I commute a lot on longboards so take that into mind while considering my feelings about these wheels. It is easy to tell that going fast is the wheels true intended purpose, but I live in Florida, so I don’t really do that. These are great, though, because they roll over any kind of rough road and it almost…
