Orangatang Longboard Wheels Caguama Purple 85mm 83A with Loaded Jehu V2 Bearings
by
Orangatang
SKU: OTANG-CGMA-PUR + LO801
Description
The Orangatang Caguama 85mm 83A Longboard Wheels (Purple) with Loaded Jehu V2 Bearings pair Orangatang's Caguama with Loaded's longboard bearings in one package. 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

About Loaded Jehu V2 Bearings
Loaded Jehu V2 bearings have extended inner raceways that eliminate the need for separate spacers and speed rings, so you can crank your axle nuts all the way down and keep your setup tight. They use rubberized steel shields for durability and easy maintenance, the highest-grade chromium steel, and an interior step ring that keeps them lubricated. Loaded developed and tested them for the speed, durability, and demands of performance longboarding.
