Orangatang In Heat Wheels for High Grip Longboarding
Riders searching for orangatang in heat wheels are looking for a wheel built specifically for high grip applications, and this 75mm, 77a set delivers exactly that for downhill runs and freeride setups alike.
What Makes the In Heat a High Grip Wheel
- 75mm diameter
- 77a durometer
- Built for Loaded boards and high roll speed setups
- Designed for high grip applications
Orangatang describes the In Heat line as offering strong initial grip that can slide smooth once the skin is broken in, which is why it has been a race wheel of choice for downhill riders over the years. The line is also offered in other durometer options, including a harder 83a version that trades a small amount of grip for extra durability and a longer-lasting, chalkier wear pattern.
Who This Wheel Is For
This wheel suits downhill and high speed longboard riders who want maximum grip out of a set, whether carving South Florida bike paths, parking lots, or dedicated downhill runs on a Loaded-style deck. It is built for riders who prioritize roll speed and control over long slide sessions.
How to Use and Maintain These Wheels
Break in a fresh set of high grip wheels gradually, since initial grip is strongest before the surface skin wears in. Rotate wheels periodically for even wear and inspect the durometer surface for flat spots or cracking, which is common on any longboard wheel used regularly for downhill riding.
