Orangatang Longboard Wheels Stimulus Yellow 70mm 86A
by
Orangatang
SKU: OTANG-STIM-YEL
Description
The Orangatang Stimulus 70mm 86A Longboard Wheels (Yellow) put Orangatang's Stimulus under your board in yellow 86A. Hardest: the easiest slides and the most durable.
The Stimulus is the small one with too much energy: a nimble 70mm for riders who can't pick a lane, sliding into a corner, hopping a curb, dancing across town to nowhere in particular. It doesn't specialize because it never sits still long enough.
Poured in Orangatang's Happy Thane formula with rounded lips and a stone-ground contact patch, the Stimulus slides smooth from day one and hooks back up without drama. At 160 grams it's light enough for quick footwork and cross-steps.

- Riders who want a wheel for dance & freestyle
- Riders who want a wheel for cruise & commute
Features
- 70mm x 49mm with a 42mm contact patch

- 160 g per wheel
- 86A (yellow)
- Orangatang's Happy Thane formula, poured in California
Benefits

About the Stimulus Shape
Rounded lips let go smoothly when you slide, a stone-ground contact patch slides from day one, and an offset hub lets the outer lip flex and grab the road, per Orangatang. This mid-size diameter balances roll speed with quick acceleration.
