A peak into the new Orangatang centerset freeride wheels which should be available soon in the Uk and at ATBShop.
The centerset freeride wheels feature gently bevelled sidewalls, rounded edges, and stone-ground contact surfaces. A newly designed 38x38mm core with a deep “valley”-shaped cross section keeps the lips firmly supported like a burly botox injection, promoting smooth, consistent slides and even wear. This core uses the same high-strength, high-stiffness, and heat-resistant material that we developed and implemented in the “blue” cores now seen across the entire Orangatang lineup… only now they’re red hot.
The Cage, The Kilmer, and The Keanu are all poured in our new Peachy Thane formula. Slightly grippier than Euphorethane yet slipperier than Happy Thane, Peachy Thane offers a balanced blend of buttery speed control, long slides, and a cush ride. Peachy Thane is formulated for high longevity and to meet the demands of the discriminating high-speed powerslide connoisseur.
“The Cage”
73 mm diameter | 50 mm width | 41.4 mm contact | 187 g/wheel | centerset bearing seat
Tall and charming, The Cage holds it together with an air of calm and collected charisma… but is always prepared to lose its shit and get wild. The Cage is here to deliver when the script calls for inordinate momentum, firm yet pliable grip, and high-speed slides. Step away from the bike… and get your downhill fix on four wheels.
“The Kilmer”
69 mm diameter | 48 mm width | 39.5 mm contact | 159 g/wheel | centerset bearing seat
An ace at both supersonic speeds and tight, hairpin-riddled dogfights, The Kilmer keeps it cool like ice in any freeride-focused mission. The Kilmer is the star student with a size and personality that everyone can love. Just say, “You can be my wingman anytime.” Come on, baby, bite my wire.
“The Keanu”
66 mm diameter | 46.5 mm width | 38 mm contact | 139 g/wheel | centerset bearing seat
With a diminutive presence and quick, bullet-time reflexes, The Keanu is a skilled and adaptable master of all terrains. Adept at slashing the asphalt point break as well as keeping up the speed for technical freeriding. Choose the red core. Whoa.
