Orangatang Longboard Wheels Durian Pink 75mm 83A
by
Orangatang
SKU: OTANG-DURN-PNK
Description
The Orangatang Durian 75mm 83A Longboard Wheels (Pink) put Orangatang's Durian under your board in pink 83A. Firmer: easier slides and more speed on smooth pavement.
Much like its botanical namesake, the Durian is a big, meaty, and succulent gob of urethane designed to carry you across town to the not-so-local fruit stand, or to be smeared liberally over your favorite downhill freeride run.
It's poured in Orangatang's Happy Thane formula for high roll speed, plush feel, and smooth, predictable drifts. Rounded lips and a stone-ground contact patch mean it slides ripe out of the box, with buttery hookup and release and no break-in period required.

- Riders who want a wheel for cruise & commute
Features
- 75mm x 52mm with a 45mm contact patch

- Orangatang's Happy Thane formula, poured in California
Benefits
- Quick acceleration and a nimble feel

About the Durian 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.

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 |
