Orangatang designed these wheels to be 75mm tall with a Contact patch (width of wheel in contact with ground) of 45mm. These offset wheels are intended for grippy, hard carving and consistent, controlled slides. Double rounded lips, and a stone ground/pre-broken in surface for smooth slides out of the box.

Orangatang Durian 75mm Wheels Feature:
***"These wheels are designed to grip as well as to slide. They therefore have relatively wide contact patches to provide dependable grip (especially without sharp lips to dig in with). But they are still intended to slide, so they are noticeably narrower than a slalom/race wheel (ie. the 4 Presidents and In Heats) and have different angles on the inner and outer faces so as to make them firmer. They have rounded lips (inner and outer) so as not to get caught up while sliding, and firm and balanced lip flex characteristics so as to reduce chatter in slides. We’ve stone ground a thin layer of the contact patch and lip radii in order to break the surface structure. This makes the wheels pre-broken in (smooth slides out of the box) and makes further wheel break-in more consistent and predictable. Overall, we believe we’ve created some really unique and kick-ass wheels with these freerides that will greatly expand what can be done on a skateboard."***
