Orangatang Flexin’ New Beefcake Wheels

Orangatang Beefcake Wheels Available for Sale in Canada! Flexin’ in every way, Orangatang Wheels have dropped the new Beefcake’s and want all the attention on their big strong slides. Remember the Cage, Keanu and Kilmer round lip, cored wheels at all? Well, after a long hiatus, Freeride DH wheels are back at Otang! Get all the details on these beefy balls of urenthane muscle and get stoked!

Oranatang Wheels have released their latest and greatest, the Beefcake, in a new 73mm shape available in 80a, 83a, 86a durometer optiopns.

One might argue that Cage, Keanu and Kilmer are a little bit of eye candy, but I wouldn’t agree that they’re much in the way of ‘Beefcakes’. For that I’d probably lean more towards Schwarzenegger or Stallone or Dolph Lundgren. While these kinds of folks often get under-appreciated for their performance prowess, vis-a-vis their looks, the same cannot be said of the Orangatang Beefcake’s which are no fluff, all substance. This isn’t the first time Orangatang has featured a round lipped, centre set shape, they know what they’re doing. Nevertheless, having a bit of fun with product name is part of who they are. It’s not like their Balut wheels were made of Balut! Beefcake wheels are going to bring some brut force to the mean streets, so you can slide through and over anything.

Lets hear what Orangtang has to say:

CORE

The Beefcake’s core is made up of high-strength, high-stiffness, heat-resistant urethane that supports the rounded lips. With an eye-catching color, the 35x38mm core has a deep valley-shaped cross section that keeps the lips firmly supported, promoting smooth, consistent slides, even wear, and dependable longevity.
