The Orangatang Caguama: Big and Beautiful.Voluptuous urethane (proportionate in all the right places) for high speed with grip, comfort, and momentum.Fast, Comfortable, & Functional — At 85mm tall, the Caguama provides maximum roll speed for commuting, carving, long-distance pushing, pumping, and electric longboards. The 56mm contact patch with its surface skin provides confident grip, while the subtly rounded edges help the wheels pass smoothly across pavement cracks. Also features a 3-dimensionally faceted outer wheel face.Large, Supportive Core — A fully exposed 46mm core with a deep “valley”-shaped cross section (same as in the Kegel) reduces weight while providing good acceleration and lots of momentum. This core is compatible with any electric skateboard that can accommodate Orangatang Kegels, allowing for an even faster and smoother ride.Happy Thane Formula — The Caguama is poured in Orangatang’s proprietary Happy Thane formula for high roll speed, excellent traction, and smooth, predictable slides.Hatching the Caguama took many years of testing and fine tuning. You’d think they’d be quicker at it by now, but as they say: the devil is in the details.SPECSDiameter: 85mmWidth: 58.5mmContact Patch: 56mmDurometer: 80a, 83aBearing Seat: OffsetFormula: Happy ThaneCore: high-strength, high-stiffness, heat-resistant urethaneWhat's included?Set of four Orangatang Caguama longboard wheels (enough for one complete longboard).About OrangatangOrangatang Wheels was hatched in 2008 as a means of advocating for the civil liberties of the indigenous river capybaras of Southern California.

Crazy freaky awesome.
Freaking crazy awesome wheels. Both the orange and the purple. I have a Landyachtz Drop Carve and a cheap Minority Downhill board from Amazon.On my drop carve they were like frigging monster truck wheels and plowed over everything. Sadly as I suspected they were too big for comfort. No wheel bite but a tiny bit of shoe rub and I did not like how top mounting the drop carve felt. Luckily I have some Orangatang Stimulus 70mm/86a on it which are love incarnate.But on my top mounted Minority Downhill board these are divine. Well these, Dime Bag wedged risers, and Zealous Green bearings.Holy f*** the speed on these wheels are insane. I thought my Stimulus wheels were fast but Jesus Boogaloo Christ these are even better. I keep rolling even after my Stims have stopped. Same bearings, same corners.Also my Stimulus wheels are anti rocks like a mofo and has no qualm sending those stoney sons of dogs back to their country (the side of the road), but will choke on some of the bigger ones. These act as if those same rocks do not exist and has no trouble tossing quarter sized rocks flying.The ride is not new Bently smooth, but not atrocious either. I feel dangerously invincible. As if I rode the way I do on lesser wheels I would end up boob first on the ground swallowing my own teeth.By that I mean I see a crack in the ground? Hump it into submission. Rocks? Do not even rinse, just be nasty and repeat the process. When I see others choke on that stuff I am like ”So much trouble in the world homie, can nobody feel your pain?”Finally these are crazy thick depth wise and are surprisingly agile. Taking turns at high speeds is insanely enthralling. If you are able to slide these without going 40mph then you are hydroplaning on ice or some cartoony version of an oil slick.TL;DRAwesome wheels. If your board can handle them then put them on it. If it cannot then stop wasting your life and get a board that can.

They are falling apart!!
If you have a boosted mini x you will realize the ride is very stiff, and you can feel every bump and rock killing my ankles after every ride. These wheels definitely softens the ride and roll over small rocks and cracks with ease. I also noticed a smoother longer roll compared to my stock mini x wheels. I really really like them. I would recommend these to anyone that has a boosted.Update:After a month they are falling apart. Edges chipping away too easily. It was nice while they lasted though.

Feels like riding on a cloud
These wheels will change the game for you if you own a Mini X. The larger diameter and softer urethane make for a silk smooth ride compared to the stock wheels. The top speed is now 21 mph vs the 19 mph I'd get (via Waze) with the sacrifice of torque and a little range. If you go over lots of cracks or rough roads in general these are well worth the investment.Added bonus: Since the diameter is larger than stock it gives your skid plates a little more clearance. I have definitely noticed that a significantly less amount of pebbles are scratching up the bottom of my board because of this.

This upgrade will change your life, no joke!
When I slapped these puppies on my sector 9 and took off on my first ride, I felt like i was riding on a cloud...these wheels are game changing...no dip or bump in the road can even phase them..plus, they are f#%*ng fast bro; they dont need a push for miles, even on the slightest slope...its the best upgrade I could have ever dreamed of, and believe me, I constantly tweak my set up-wheels, bearings, bushings, hardware, etc...please, if you enjoy longboarding almost as much as I do, spend the money, and get these babies today!!!

Really nice wheels, an improvement over Boosted Board Stealth stock wheels
Theses are certainly a bit of an upgrade over my stock Boosted Stealth Status 85mm wheels, albeit not a drastic improvement. I do get a nicer softer feel for road vibrations and also better turning, especially over small cracks/dividers in the road as well as over road paint. Overall just a nice improved feel that is 'right on' :)What I don't really like about these particular Caguama wheels is that after a while using them, they turn a pea soup green type of color and then after that they start turning greyish. It's only a minor complaint, but they start looking kinda ugly after a while although when new, they look totally awesome especially on the Stealth. This might be helped some if you clean the wheels regularly though to keep them more clean overall.The grey stock Boosted wheels still look cool when they get dirty but these Caguama wheels do offer better handling and feel.You may however notice more of an difference if you're going from 80mm wheels such as if you have a Boosted Mini model or a 2nd Gen. model since these wheels are 85mm. Note, they do fit on the 2nd Gen. Boosted Board as well as any of the Mini's as well.Recommended wheels!

Better Than I’ve Heard
Great wheels for this old longboard roller. They can take on most terrain with ease. They provide a fast, comfortable roll. All I can say is have fun when you get them, cuz they’ll get you there faster and in a more comfortable manner!

Makes the ride smooth
These are definitely worth the purchase. I’ve grabbed two sets of these for both of my electric skateboards; boosted V2 and mini X
