Orangatang Stimulus 70mm 83a Longboard Wheels
The Orangatang Stimulus 70mm 83a wheels are the firmest and fastest option in the Stimulus lineup, built for riders who want maximum roll speed, crisp slide control, and long-lasting durability. Perfect for freeride, dancing, tricks, and aggressive street sessions, the 83a compound delivers a more responsive, precise feel with clean breakaway and consistent drift.
Poured in Orangatang’s legendary Happy Thane urethane and paired with a strong, heat-resistant core, these wheels resist deformation at higher speeds and maintain predictable performance through repeated slides. If you want the most slide-oriented Stimulus wheel with the longest wear, the 83a is the go-to choice.
