We hope so too!

Daniel Song where did he go??

Thanks Carlos! We always try and make these videos entertaining, since most of the time, product description videos can be boring haha!

If you're in Europe you can get them at sickboardshop

AWESOME CHOICE!

They make for such a simple and easy upgrade to your ride! Let us know how they feel when you grab a set!

You will not be disappointed! We've been riding them on our shared Boosted V2 and can't get enough of them!

LoadedNewsletter Any idea how much faster the top speed is with 85mm?

You should get 1 mph :D

Stick to your longboard and get some exercise. I hate electric boards because people don't know what the hell they are doing on them and constantly are crashing into people in the city. You should need a license the ride one of those

Thanks for the love! We're super hyped on the Caguama and put it on anything we can!

Loaded Boards hey! Can it slide?

@@lgooch At first, the slides will be choppy and a little rough. With the skin still on the wheel, the wheel wants to grip as much as possible. Once you've broken in the surface to be evenly rough, it slides pretty decently, but not as good as the Kegels (80mm) or especially the In Heats (75mm) once the skin is broken in.

Loaded Boards thx

Why wish more A

@@xX_Qu1ckSc0peZzHD_Xx Roll speed. I do alot of long distance pushing and any little bit of extra roll speed helps a ton.

I have the 80a Orange and they roll forever. SMOOTH AS HECK on flat surfaces especially around city centers and malls. These babies are fast and don't require much effort but they will suffer on more uneven paths. Great wheels for a beginner like myself.

The Speed Vents are awesome wheels too! But we wanted something with a softer roll feel, so we had to try our hand at something larger than the Kegel!

Thanks for the compliment! If only we could show people how tricky it was to get the inner pattern! Time and attention to detail pays off in the long, run we guess!

Nice! Glad you were able to figure out how to put them on yourself! We are about to post a tutorial video on swapping!

Thats awesome Timothy! The Vanguard is one of the most fulfilling boards to pair with the Caguamas! We appreciate the love! Be sure to tag @LoadedBoards and @OrangatangWheels on Facebook and Instagram if you get the chance to share some of your skating soon! Keep up the stoke and skate safe!

The Vanguard works absurdly well with the Orangatang Caguamas! Some of our riders enjoy using the stock cone and barrel bushings in their Paris 180mm Trucks with the Caguamas and have no issue of wheel bite at all!

Show them everything the Caguama's have to offer!

LoadedNewsletter will do!!!

The Caguamas loved you before they even met you!

Yeah because their grip tape looks really cool, wouldn't want to change it, well until it needs it

You are correct, these wheels are designed for speed and grip, but also comfort! During the prototyping phase, we decided to focus more on these aspects than try and have another wheel that does what the Kegel already does so well. It's going to take a very long time to wear through the urethane until you start seeing the faceted pattern start to make contact with the pavement. Our recommendation is, if you want to kick out big pre drift slides, stick with the Orangatang Kegels, because thats what they were designed for an perform best at!

Honestly, it's going to be a similar experience. Since these wheels have an even larger diameter, they have more weight and momentum to them, so they REALLY hold their speed. Footbraking is always the safest option for slowing down! Second would be bailing out into soft grass or a mattress if you are lucky!

Sweet! Can't wait to get them. You guys should make a video on how to stop with big wheels :P

You should be just fine with your current setup! We've tested the Caguamas on the Vanguard a bunch and have never had any issues of wheelbite!

Thanks! We worked hard on making them look different than anything else out there! Why exactly would you like to see a wider contact patch? We tried a couple prototypes of wider versions, but felt there was too much urethane at that size to accommodate a wider contact patch. We're very interested to know you thoughts and reasons since we are always developing new wheels for your skating pleasure!

Thanks for replying I was looking for it to be wider for that extra grip for those wanting to use it on an electric skateboard with no real intent on sliding and the proportion of height to width can effect how good the wheel looks from above

You will need a skate tool, a 3mm Hexagonal allen key, and a flat head screw driver. First take off the axle nut on the truck, then use the 3mm hex tool to remove the two screws locking down the motor cap. Once you remove the motor cap, you reveal the 4 motor screws and the motor gear. Loosen (but do not remove) the 4 motor screws with your 3mm hex tool. Then slide the motor towards the tail of the board to release tension on the belt. When belt tension is released, you will be able to slide the wheel off the of the axle. Using the flat head screw driver as a wedge, you can insert it in between the gap of the wheel and the black gear. Slowly pry the gear away from the wheel while spinning the wheel in a circular motion so you can apply pressure on all side of the gear. Eventually, you will remove the gear and be ready to place it into your new wheel. Fit the gear into the core of the Caguama (uses the same core, so everything lines up) then press down until it feels snug. If you can pick the wheel up off the ground from the gear, then it should be good. Next place the belt back on the motor gear, slide the wheel and gear into place. You might need to spin the wheel to get the belt to wrap around the gear fully. Once you have the belt around the gear, screw the axle nut back on to the hangar and use your skate tool to tighten it down. Tightening down the axel nut, with the wheel gear and belt properly in place, will act as a press that will lock the gear snuggly and firmly into the core fo the Caguama. Tighten it all the way down until the axle nut stops, then reverse the axel nut about 1/4 turn in to loosen a little bit of the pressure to avoid choking the bearing. Be sure to tighten the 4 motor screws AFTER you set the motor back into the original position by pushing it AWAY from the tail of the board. This makes sure your belts have tension again and won't slip when you accelerate. Once they have some tension, tightening the screws will lock the motor into place. Put the Motor Cap back in place, tighten the two motor cap locking screws to make sure it is secure. Power up your board and make sure everything is working properly. You should be good to ride!

Use a Flat head screw driver to pry apart the gear from the wheel

Here is a video demonstration on how to make the swap! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mOCRY5ObprKRkWg.html

Dude yess! We gotta see some pics of them when you put them on!

That sounds like such a rippin' setup already! Well, in all honesty, it is probably safest to stick with your current wheels of 70mm or 75mm. You can run 80mm wheels, but there is a chance for wheelbite with such narrow trucks. The main issue, it that with narrow trucks, it pulls the inner lip of the wheel closer to the center of the board, where the flares begin mellowing out so there is more bamboo and board material sitting closer to the truck. With 180mm trucks, you'll be fine on 80mm and 85mm wheels because it pushes the inner lip of the wheel away from the center of the board and towards the deepest part of the wheel flares. The Icarus is designed to carve and flow with you in the streets. You can probably fit 80mm or 85mm wheels on it with your 165mm trucks, but you'll be sacrificing the ability to turn and carve deep. We say stick with what you got and get wiggling!

Add spacers

Great question, Ju-hyeok! That recommendation was intended to highlight one possible application for the firmer of the two duros. 83a is a great choice for long-distance push races, in particular, which are generally held on sanctioned courses with relatively smooth pavement throughout. In these settings a slightly firmer urethane will generally roll faster. For truly LONG-distance applications (such as pushing your skateboard across hundreds or even thousands of miles of unpredictable and often poor-quality pavement, the softer 80a option will most definitely be optimal. :) Hope that clears things up a bit! -K

Ben Carpenter if your board is still using street trucks, then most likely, yes. Either try out some riser pads, tightening your trucks, or getting taller trucks like 150mm Paris Trucks.

We're currently reading through the feedback on the wheels right now! We are hoping to see some more Blues before Christmas time!

We haven't ever really had an issue with that. Of course, it depends on the trucks you have. Most longboard wheels (and all of ours) use standard skate bearings with an 8mm space in between, which most longboard truck companies design their axle length around. If you feel like you don't have enough threading on your truck for your axle nut to lock on properly, make sure you don't have too many washers on your hangar (the little metal rings). Do you know what trucks you are using? And do you know what bearings you are using as well?

Amir Yolo either one will probably be fine. if you weigh more than 160 lbs the 83a will be the better option, i weigh 140 and i got their 4president 70mm 80a wheels and i love them

The Fattail differs greatly in flex compared to the Icarus. Since the Fattail is top-mount, you have tons of leverage to get as much tuning out of your trucks as possible. We like riding the Fattail Flex 2 or 3 with Paris 150mm Trucks and the Orange Orangatang Caguamas. Thanks to the top mounting and deep wheel cut outs, there is 0.01% of wheelbite with this setup! We even use the stock bushings on the Paris Trucks and have no problems at all! With the Fattail, you get an incredibly powerful flex pattern that springs you back hard and fast. When equipped with narrow trucks (e.g. 150mm Paris) you get maximum responsiveness and even more grip! To dial in the flex, you also have two wheelbase options for your back truck! Shorter wheelbase gives tighter turning and a stronger flex, longer wheelbase give wider turning with softer flex! Get more info about the Fattail here! loadedboards.com/fattail-longboard-skateboard

Thank so very much Loaded

Why yes you can! We even did a tutorial on how to do it! kzfaq.info?o=U&video_id=bza00jAL-a4

That would be so fun! We suggest putting different trucks on your Dinghy first, though! Paris 150mm trucks work really well on the mini-setups we've tried the Caguamas on!

Hey Jace! Can you send us the link for the $130 online versions? That might be for a bundle, as in two sets of wheels being purchased at once.

Please be safe 😳

LoadedNewsletter I'm already a couple mm into the meat and they slide awesome👌

I hope you have discovered risers by now 👍

@@garretteverett2613 Risers on a drop through would only lower the board…

We have not gotten to try the new BB Stealth model, or any of the newer Boosted models with these wheels. But since the Caguama uses the same core as the Orangatang Kegels, as long as the gear/belt drive is the same as the BB V2, then they should work! Here is Boosted's compatibility chart to help out: support.boostedboards.com/hc/en-us/articles/360003425394-Accessory-Compatibility-Chart If you find out they work, please let us know! We've been dying to find out! They work so well on the V2 version!

LoadedNewsletter sounds good, I’ll let ya know!

The Kegels are still our main/performance downhill wheel! The Caguama is fun for going fast, but when it comes to sliding at high speeds, the 80mm Kegel is more balanced, so you've still got gold in your hands!

LoadedNewsletter very true, just need to get my hands on these babies!!!

Pre-Order is available on orangatangwheels.com/wheels/caguama-85mm and will be shipped to your next Wednesday! If you can't wait, you can find a local shop that carries them on our Dealer Locator: loadedboards.com/dealers

Kegels are still really good. Each set of wheels have different uses

Loaded Boards in the review the Icarus board is said to take up to 80mm wheels but I’ve seen posts saying they are using icarus with caguamas? How is this done , when I ordered my Icarus the shop said they couldn’t built it with caguamas without extremely tight trucks or risers because of wheel bite , can you clear this up , is it possible to use caguamas on my Icarus ?

yes they will fit! It's a close fit though, but with Orangatang Nipples it should work fine! Worst case scenario, you might need a cup washer to make sure wheelbite isn't an issue, mainly depends on how loose you like your trucks overall. Happy shredding and skate safe!

Even the pros started from somewhere

Thank's a lot!!! I only saw now the comment i'm Sorry for that, but i have seen these videos and build that confidence and have a realy good time longboarding along those years!!! Once again thank you for the pattience in the comment i'm sure that other find that useful, i might even come back to longboarding🤘🤘

You should be alright with most longboard wheels. Bear Trucks tend to push your wheelbase outwards slightly, helping to reduce wheelbite. If you tried using wheels larger than 75mm with really loose bushing, you might find yourself flirting with wheelbite more often than you would like. Keep it at 70mm and you'll be alright!

I run some caguamas on my tan tien with 180mm trucks and I’ve had zero issues with wheel bite. It’s a great setup if you want something you can push on bumpy roads/sidewalks but also take down hills, and generally do a bit of everything. For cruising, the large wheels with the flex is like riding on a cloud

That was an old prototype Rolls-Rolls pusher deck we've had for years!

Adler Rene Yes you do! The Kegel will accelerate quicker when you start pushing or pumping, but the Caguama really hits a higher speed because of the larger diameter and momentum from it's more robust nature.

I am sold -- Caguama it is!! Keep coming with those awesome videos guys..well done!!! Big fan of you Ethan!

They can, but you might have to do some bushing magic to avoid getting wheelbite, depending on the trucks you choose. Paris trucks work really well and only require the use of two barrel bushings like Orangatang Nipples! loadedboards.com/114-27.html

That's an old Rolls Rolls deck. Shout out to Jack Smith for that one.

Yes they will! The Caguamas will work on every Boosted model except the V1. The V2 and later versions all use the same motor system and gear/pulley sizing, which fits the Orangatang Kegel, which shares the same core as the Orangatang Caguama! Sorry for the late reply!

LoadedNewsletter is it w worthwhile upgrade over the stock 80mm? Mine are pretty new still but I just placed an order for these...just want to be sure that I will feel a difference

They don't come with bearings unless you select that option

We have a distributor order going out to Canada today! They should be arriving in local shops soon! We also ship direct from our website! loadedboards.com/caguama-85mm

The Caguama's weren't designed with just sliding in mind, but more so, around the importance of ride feel and comfort for carving, commuting, pushing, and electric skateboarding. After they have broken in and no longer have the shiny surface to the wheel, they can bust out quick and slashy slides just fine. These are not the wheels you are looking for to set a new sliding distance record though, for that we suggest some of the Orangatang Center Set wheels like the Yellow Kilmers 86a! orangatangwheels.com/wheels/the-keanu-66mm

🤔 hmmmm...

Payback for dropping orangatang or better yet make some 85mm sleeves for exway X1 Pro. Actually please please. I'll bring you sleeves if it greases the prototype.

@@definingslawek4731 I'm definitely sold on exway's engineering. Waiting for more reviews of their atlas.

Oh hellll yeah, guys. You fucking rock.

The Orangatang Caguamas are poured in our special Happy Thane Formula, which is an ultra high rebound urethane designed for smooth riding and fast roll speed. The Caguamas are 85mm tall, which gives them the ability to roll over just about anything in the road or sidewalks while also allowing the wheel to maintain it's momentum to carry you further and longer with each push. The Caguamas also use a wide supportive core that keeps the edges of the urethane stiff so that the wheel can grip better to the ground and have a very slow and even wear pattern throughout their life. Also, being a perfectly round and cylindrical wheel, you won't feel any funny wobbles whenever you turn, which helps you keep your speed in and out of carves.

We're always working on developing new urethanes and new wheels! Be sure to keep your eyes peeled later this summer, your dreams might just come true!

turny trucks and flexy deck :)

Speed, a good entry angle, and the sheer force of anger and determination.

Is it okay if we keep making them though?!

We appreciate the love for the Orange!!! We are always in constant development for new wheels. But we like to take our sweet time with testing and prototyping to make sure the final product meets our quality standards for our fans and customers! Keep your eyes peeled for big things happening in the future!

Loaded Newsletter. I appreciate the reply I look forward to seeing "big things" from you in the future.

90mm ollin popoca, 100mm boa constricor. same core as orangatang

Cristian Constantin. Very true but not orange!

We've tried them on the Tan Tien! With Bear Grizzly 852's, they work well, but if you are using Paris 180mm Trucks, then you just need to use double barrel bushings like the Orangatang Nipples! loadedboards.com/orangatang-nipple-double-barrel

LoadedNewsletter thanks a lot! Makes it a lot easier then (I use Paris 180s)

YUP! They're so much fun on the Icarus!

We're working on something...
