Orangatang Longboard Wheels Skiff Slasher Orange 62mm 80A
by
Orangatang
SKU: OTANG-SKIF-ORN
Description
The Orangatang Skiff 62mm 80A Longboard Wheels (Orange) are the orange 80A version of Orangatang's 62mm Skiff. The sensible middle, and the one Orangatang hands to friends.
Small craft, big personality. The Skiff is the pocket-sized vessel of the fleet: 62mm of nimble, seaworthy urethane that takes cracked sidewalks, brick, and rough chip-seal the way a good boat takes chop: steadily, and with style.
It's poured in Orangatang's Happy Thane formula around a glass-free core, with a stone-ground contact patch that slides smooth right out of the box. At 91 grams it's the lightest wheel Orangatang makes, ready for technical slides, freestyle tricks, and street lines.

How Durometer Works
Orangatang color-codes every wheel by hardness. Lower is softer: more grip and more cushion. Higher is harder: easier slides, more durable, and faster on smooth pavement.
| Color | Durometer | Feel |
|---|---|---|
| Blue | 77A | Softest: the most grip and cushion |
| Orange | 80A | The sensible middle, and the one Orangatang hands to friends |
| Pink or Purple | 83A | Firmer: easier slides and more speed on smooth pavement |
| Yellow | 86A | Hardest: the easiest slides and the most durable |
