Introducing the Loaded Fathom, the longboard that blurs the boundaries of what a skateboard can be.
The Fathom is one of the easiest boards to ride in the world and a ton of fun. Built around the new Loaded Zee Bracket truck mounting system. With large wheels and a low ride height, the Fathom reimagines soulful commuting and urban exploration.
The Loaded Fathom is built for speed and momentum. With its large (up to 105mm) wheels and agile trucks, this board bridges the gap between board and bike, easily reaching and sustaining commuting speeds that surpass the comfort zone of conventional skateboards. Get a good workout, explore the roads less traveled, or get to class/work without breaking a sweat. It’s up to you!
THE DECK:
Featuring 8-ply maple construction, slight camber for road-smoothing suspension, and lifted corners (with more aggressive grip tape) to lock in your feet and reduce the chance of foot bite. Large enough for comfort but compact enough to carry on public transportation and stow under your desk. To evoke the spirit of adventure and exploration, the current graphic was inspired by the historic Polynesian expansion and their mind-boggling ocean navigation. Nanastudio created this collage based on Polynesian ships and artifacts.
THE RIDE:
The Fathom is stable and easy to control, even at high commuting speeds. The low ride height provides stability and ease of pushing and footbraking. The wide deck further enhances confidence, while upturned deck corners reduce the chance of footbite. In addition, the double-drop brackets and relatively narrow trucks make this board surprisingly responsive and agile. A board with wheels this size has no right to turn this well.
LOADED x G/BOMB ZEE BRACKET:
Designed exclusively for Loaded by the wizards at G/Bomb Skateboards, the Zee Brackets are a game-changing innovation that allows Loaded to create a new generation of low-riding performance vehicles and allows you to create your low-riding masterpiece.
This proprietary composite bracket (designed exclusively for Loaded by the wizards at G/Bomb Skateboards) allows us to build unique and functional next-gen skate vehicles with double-drop (drop-through and drop-down) truck mounting.
PARIS 150MM:
The Paris Trucks V3 150mm trucks are quick turning and provide increased leverage over your board compared to a wider truck. The 50° baseplate offers the perfect balance of stability and maneuverability. Designed for those smaller boards without any compromise in strength or performance. Built with Paris’ tried and true truck geometry and signature, open bushing seat, these puppies are the cats meow!
ORANGATANG DAD BOD 105MM 80A:
The Dad Bod towers over the rest of the Orangatang Wheels line up with it’s impressive stature of 105mm of full-bodied urethane goodness. Designed for long distance pushing, pumping and electric-skateboarding, the Orangatang Dad Bod has all the right stuff to take you to all the right places!
The Dad Bod’s firm yet cush outer lip provides comfort and speed. Big wheels tend to be hard to control, so Orangatang developed a new Traction Trench technology which helps the inner lip to comply with the rigorous demands of the road, bending and molding to suit your needs for grip around turns or between your carves. The bearing seat is offset so the wheel can be flipped for narrower boards. The wide, smooth contact surface increases grip, and the rounded edges prevent catching on cracks.
