The Orangatang Beefcake is the ultimate wheel for performance-enhanced freeriding, offering a perfect blend of strength and finesse. These wheels feature a burly shape, stone-ground contact patch, and muscular roundovers that ensure smooth, catch-free slides and effortless slide initiation. Designed to excel in both high-speed freeriding and technical sliding, the Beefcake is ideal for throwing slides and linking rotations run after run.
The wheel’s progressive contemporary shape, combined with large stone-ground roundovers, provides a consistent lip shape for smooth slides throughout its life. The stone-ground contact patch guarantees predictable and buttery slides right out of the box. The centerset core and bearing seat allow riders to flip the wheels for added longevity, enhancing the lifespan of these already durable wheels. The high-strength, high-stiffness, heat-resistant urethane core supports the rounded lips, ensuring smooth, consistent slides and even wear.
With a diameter of 73mm, width of 48mm, and a contact patch of 31mm, the Beefcake wheels are designed with rounded lips and a stone-ground surface. They come in three durometers: 80a, 83a, and 86a, weighing 6 oz (170 g) per wheel. The high roll speed, predictable hookup and release, and prolonged lifespan make these wheels perfect for both beginners learning the sliding arts and advanced freeriders looking for reliable performance.
Whether you’re linking rotations, throwing slide shuv-its, blunt slides, or inventing new tech slides, the Beefcake’s soft-wheel feel and robust construction make it an excellent choice.
