Orangatang Longboard Wheels Caguama Purple 85mm 83A
by
Orangatang
SKU: OTANG-CGMA-PUR
Description
The Orangatang Caguama 85mm 83A Longboard Wheels (Purple) are the purple 83A version of Orangatang's 85mm Caguama. Firmer: easier slides and more speed on smooth pavement.
Voluptuous urethane, proportionate in all the right places. Named for the loggerhead sea turtle, the Caguama shares its namesake's easy composure: big, unhurried, and quietly faster than it has any right to be. It carries momentum the way a turtle carries its shell: everywhere, without complaint.
Poured in Orangatang's Happy Thane formula for high roll speed, plush comfort, and confident grip. Rounded lips and a smooth surface skin keep traction predictable through hard carves, while the offset core balances grip and release for easy control.

About the Caguama Shape
Rounded lips let go smoothly when you slide, surface skin keeps maximum bite until it wears in, and an offset hub lets the outer lip flex and grab the road, per Orangatang. Over 85mm, Orangatang recommends planning on risers to avoid wheelbite.
