The Orangatang Bee’s Knees 90mm wheels are built for riders who want maximum roll speed, comfort, and efficiency without giving up control. Designed as a true high-performance cruising and distance wheel, the Bee’s Knees smooth out rough pavement, cracks, and debris with ease, making them ideal for commuting, long-distance pushing, pumping, carving, and even select e-skate applications. At 90mm, they strike a sweet spot between fast acceleration and effortless rollover, delivering a noticeably smoother ride than smaller wheels while remaining more manageable than oversized race wheels.
Poured in Orangatang’s proven Happy Thane urethane, the Bee’s Knees offer excellent rebound and vibration damping for reduced foot fatigue on long rides. The rounded lips and subtle surface skin provide dependable grip through turns and pumps, while still allowing controlled, predictable slides when needed. A centerset core keeps the ride balanced and allows the wheels to be flipped for even wear, extending their lifespan and maintaining consistent performance over time.
Available in both 77a and 80a durometers, the Bee’s Knees can be tuned to your riding style and terrain. The 77a option delivers maximum plushness, grip, and shock absorption for rough streets and extended commutes, while the 80a version offers slightly more speed, responsiveness, and slide control without sacrificing comfort. Whether you’re chasing distance, daily reliability, or effortless cruising, the Orangatang Bee’s Knees 90mm wheels live up to their name with smooth, fast, and confidence-inspiring performance ride after ride.
