Whether you’re weaving your way through a hairpin-riddled downhill course or a pedestrian-infested urban jungle, the Orangatang 4President is your candidate of choice.An offset bearing seat and smaller race/slalom shape allows for grippy hard carving and pumping with quick acceleration. Sharp, slightly angled edges allow the wheel to stay railed in hard carves and technical downhill runs, while a thick and solid lip profile ensures a smooth and predictable drift when kicked sideways.The 4President is poured in Orangatang’s proprietary Happy Thane formula for high roll speed, excellent traction, and smooth, predictable drifts.Now available in blue 77a: the smoothest, fluffiest, grippiest, most thane-line-leaving urethane in Orangatang’s history! The blue 4President offers max traction and smoothness in our most compact race wheel. Fits the bill for hard carving and pumping, commuting, slalom, and technical downhill.SPECSDiameter: 70mmWidth: 53mmContact Patch: 53mmDurometers: 77a, 80a, 83a, 86aBearing Seat: offsetFormula: Happy ThaneCore: high-strength, high-stiffness, heat-resistant urethaneWhat's included?Set of four Orangatang 4President 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.

Straight up, Best wheels money can buy !
I'm a beginner longboarder and started learning late in my 20's. I Personally just put up my first set up together and these wheels are as smooth as they get.They really have the science backing up the design, the grip is phenomenal.Don't expect any slides on these so early, but I have friends who can pull em off.For Freestyle, and downhill experiences, I think these wheels are great. (if you want that grip)Once they start wearing off and edges start chipping away, I think slides are possibly easier.I believe in buying quality, even if I have to pay a little more, Hence I went with these and they are a pleasure to ride. They look great, and they feel amazing.

Missing shield- Fixed!
One of the bearings is missing its shield.UPDATE 7/25After contacting the seller, they sent me a replacement bearing for the one that was incomplete. They even sent me a couple of stickers to go with the board and bearings. I got these set up on my Vanguard Flex 1 and am in love. I am 250ish lbs and these give me a solid grip while I am pumping and carving. Some smooth concrete and I am gliding like I am back on my snowboard in August! Very happy now.

perfectly sweet!
perfectly sweet spot between speed and grip. I'm using these with my Loaded board and love the ride with Paris trucks! Real nice Cruising wheel. For a cool look and cruising - these have it in the bag man.

These wheels are really good at rolling over the terrible streets I have in my town. The ride is super smooth and they roll well. If you are looking for some good wheels to roll on bad roads these will work well.

buttery wheels really great for cruising and carving- use 8.5 or 9" trucks
Orangutan has the formula for urethane.

Great but a flaw
Great wheels but the square lip will start to chip and chunk off. As pointed out by others. I prefer the rounded edge of the stimulus, haven’t had them chip.

Amazing wheels
So basically at first i really regretted getting these, but later on i realizing that they were the best thing i ever bought for my longboard. What i didn't know at first was that these were not slide ready, nor broken in, ironically this was kind of good because i learned to slide on these beefy wheels. not only do these give you literally the softest ride, but they give you amazing grip for when your carving, taking tight turns on campus or bombing a hill at 40Mph. These wheels are, in my opinion, one of the best wheels because they give you superb grip and the ease of sliding because of the duro. Lastly these wheels will pick up alot of speed because they're rather large.Pro-Tip: Drop-thru + Bear 852's + O/Tang 4Prez = a bombing machine

Ganz einfach... Kauf dir Orangatang Wheels!
Man kann nichts falsch mit Orangatang Wheels machen. Vielleicht sind sie teuere als die Wettbewerb, aber fahrspaß ist unglaublich und kann man nicht vergleichen. Ich bin begeistert mit Orangatang 4President.
