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. SPECS Diameter: 85mm Width: 58.5mm Contact Patch: 56mm Durometer: 80a, 83a Bearing Seat: Offset Formula: Happy Thane Core: high-strength, high-stiffness, heat-resistant urethane What's included?Set of four Orangatang Caguama longboard wheels and set of eight Loaded Jehu V2 bearings with integrated spacers and speedrings (enough for one complete longboard). About Orangatang Orangatang Wheels was hatched in 2008 as a means of advocating for the civil liberties of the indigenous river capybaras of Southern California. They also gained international praise in 2009 for their brief and completely unrelated foray into exotic animal jerky manufacturing and wholesale.

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!!!

A tremendously improved riding experience on a Boosted Mini X
The addition of these light blue wheels and some fresh belts was an absolute night and day difference for commuting to work on my boosted mini X.I think all owners can agree that the boosted mini X is a fantastic piece of engineering, and some of the most fun you can have on 4 wheels. There are 3 very slight detractions from the stock board, but these wheels fix all of them!1. Ride quality: the boosted mini doesn't have a flexible deck between the motor and battery, making it quite rigid. This coupled with the extremely hard stock wheels mean that you are made very aware of any road imperfections, dirt, pebbles, et.c, and small imperfections can be quite dangerous. These wheels totally smooth out small pebbles and cracks in the road and allow you to stomp with much more confidence.2. Top Speed: You get the sense on the boosted that the top speed is limited not by the strength of the motor, but by a speed regulator. I may be wrong here, but it pulls like CRAZY to top speed then levels out quite quickly. These wheels give you an extra 2mph at the top end, which may not seem like a lot, but it allows you to basically go the speed limit in the city, which is huge!Torque: The boosted mini x torque is unbelievable, but it can be so torquey that if you are a little bit careless on the remote, it gladly bucks you off the back. These slightly larger wheels flatten out the torque curve just a tiny bit, making the board more rideable and less jerky.Here's what I'm getting at: These wheels may seem almost exactly the same as the stock wheels on paper (only 5mm larger) but they make a WORLD of difference. A must buy for a mini X owner.

Phenomenal wheels and a must have for a boosted board owner
These wheels are a "go to" upgrade for a boosted board. The larger wheel will help smooth out the road a tad and help get over small debris a little better. it will also give you a slightly better feel on the board with it having a smooth rounded edge over a Kegel wheel. I prefer the purple duro as being a tad harder seems to hold up to the road wear a little better and keeps a nice looking appearance longer.

Great upgrade for Boosted Mini S
Awesome upgrade for my Boosted Mini S. I use the board for the last miles of my daily commute, and managed to shred my original belts in about 100 miles, due to rocks, sticks, and other debris on the road nicking the belts and eventually leading to tears. Decided the upgrade in size would help a bit, but I never expected that the wheels would feel so much better on the smooth roads - just like butter when carving. It may be in my mind, but I do feel like I can tell the top speed is slightly faster and the torque just noticeably less when accelerating from a stop.I saw some complaints about the wheels chunking over time, but with about 15 miles on line, there are no problems. Guess I will see over time and update if there are issues. Overall a great upgrade!

Improved wheels and bearings for boosted stealth
Replaced stock stealth wheels with a set of light blues when boosted initially refused to warranty a bearing service kit for my 50 mile board (they have since decided to send me one...faith restored). I've put about 45 miles on the new wheels so far. I also got the loaded jehu v2 bearings with the wheels because I needed to alleviate the bearing noise. Love the new wheels. Seem to handle somewhat better than the stock (more grippy in turns and carving). Bearings seem more fluid as well. Worth noting however, I could only use the bearing kit for the fronts. The stealth has one oversized bearing against the motor and no spacer on the outer. The built in spacer prevents the wheel from seating properly and you'll need the existing oversized bearing from your original rear wheel or a new one from boosted (or wherever else you can pick these up). Since boosted sent me a bearing service kit, I had a new one and I'll just save the other 4 bearings to service the front next time it needs it. shiny color gone after 1 mile. These wheels are pretty soft. Picked up some glass today in one of the wheels. It's pretty deep. Not clicking so tempted to leave it in unless someone can convince me otherwise. Orangatang dudes???

Great Boosted Mini wheel upgrade!
Awesome upgrade for Boosted Mini X! Increased my top speed gave a better ride overall.

Worst Amazon Experience I've Had
Replaced my gen 2 Boosted Dual + wheels (orangutan kegels). I ride the streets of SF every day and they're in though shape. The Caguamas increased my battery and motor clearance and top speed but most importantly they feel like pillows compared to the kegels, sticky and soft they even stabilize wobble. It was super easy to replace the wheels, and the stock bearings and large pully gear are comparable so no need to replace them I just cleaned then up and everything is perfect. Buy these wheels.** Less than ten miles on these wheels and they're destroyed... Return process seems easy enough I'll update when I get the replacements***** Wheels supposed garaunteed 1 day first time, they were late. Same deal with the replacements. Amazon customer service has been rude and dismissive for the most part so far***Wheels are still MIA

Outstanding Boosted Board Upgrade!!
Got these to replace my wheels on my Boosted Board Gen 2 Dual+ and what an improvement!They are bigger than the stock wheels and will make your board accelerate and break a little slower but it's not a big deal considering the 2+ mph extra speed you get out of them. They are much softer than stock and it made the ride quality increase by easily 2x. My feet don't feel like they are going to vibrate off the board when at speed any more. Great fitment, install went perfect. Great wheels!

Lots of grip smoothness!!!
Love these wheels! I didn’t think that 5mm larger would make any difference but I was wrong. These wheels roll over everything and they get warm and gummy after skating a while. Super grippy and really smooth. I highly recommend these if you have a boosted board or any long board skate.

Orangatang Caguama 85 mm, need i say more?
They're round, orange and roll the same as the last orange Caguamas i used... If you're looking to buy skateboard wheels and you're looking at this page, you know you should throw them in the cart already, because you did your homework and know these are excellent... So... stop reading this review... You know you want them and there's nothing better:)

Really nice wheels.
Great wheels and nice design. I went with the 80a orange wheels that are 85mm. I love the orange color that matching with my boosted board. Installing the wheels is both simple and a pain in the ass. There is no need for extra parts, other modifications, or shaving filing and adjusting of any kind. If you have not done before is a little bit of a nuisance to get back into the new wheel evenly. Just use some wood and a hammer to get it down all the way without damaging anything. After finish, the wheels are visibly bigger and look a lot better than my stock 80mm wheel on my Boosted Board. The speed is also noticeable I can feel it a lot faster and roll better over rough services and up curbs, give you more confidence all round, and gripper than the stock wheel. General these are well worth the investment.
