Orangatang 4President 70mm Skateboard Wheels

Orangatang 4President 70mm Skateboard Wheels

Razor sharp lips and a medium-wide 53mm contact patch give the 4President plenty of grip. Like all Orangatang’s wheels, it’s poured from Happy Thane, which is a sugary, fast rolling formula..

At 70mm the 4President is a perfect medium-sized wheel for a lot of setups – fast enough to roll over the rougher stuff, and small and light enough to chuck around and not worry about wheelbite too much. They’re a great fit for surf skaters who like riding mellow transitions, bowls and accessible skate parks. Awesome for grip and flow skating.

Three Orangatang 4President 70mm duros available:

• 77A (Blue). This is a bit slower than the other two duros and won’t last as long for sliding, but it is super plush and very grippy.
• 80A (Orange). These are probably the sweet spot and bring out the best in the wheel shape.
• 83A (Purple). The fastest rolling of the three duros, it’s also longer lasting but less grippy. Maybe a bit harsh for really rough surfaces, but still a great wheel for cruising about, especially if you are mostly inhabiting smooth roads, skate parks and pavements.

Like a lot of Orangatang grip wheels, the sharp lips don’t last very long and the urethane isn’t the absolute grippiest out there – but these wheels are a hell of a lot of fun once you’ve broken them in. The geometry and shape of the wheel are very balanced even now, over a decade after they came out. Highly recommended!
