Orangatang Longboard Wheels Dad Bod Blue 105mm 77A
by
Orangatang
SKU: OTANG-DADB-BLU
Description
The Orangatang Dad Bod 105mm 77A Longboard Wheels (Blue) are the blue 77A version of Orangatang's 105mm Dad Bod. Softest: the most grip and cushion.
The Dad Bod shouldn't be able to keep up. Look at it: 105mm of soft, comfortable urethane, clearly past its athletic prime, probably wearing sandals. And yet there it goes, cruising past everyone at the beach without breaking a sweat, covering absurd distance per push. It's kinda like cheating.
The secret is Orangatang's TrypoCore, a high-strength, high-stiffness, heat-resistant urethane core that keeps all that wheel to a shockingly light 428 grams. Wrapped in Orangatang's Happy Thane formula for plush rebound and smooth roll, the Dad Bod turns rough roads into a mild suggestion.

About the Dad Bod 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.

Choose Your Durometer and Bearing Option
The Dad Bod comes in 2 colors, and each color is a different durometer. Every one is available as wheels only, or bundled with Loaded Jehu V2 bearings.

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 |
