One of the best board upgrades you can get
The media could not be loaded. These wheels exceeded my expectations. There was nothing wrong with the 70MM wheels on my board but wanted to upgrade due to uneven and rough pavement. I’ve been practicing in my alley with bumps, cracks, and rocks. While the original 70MM wheels on my pads are good, they didn’t work all that great for the terrain. The 85MM orangatang wheels are a game changer. The smoothness of the wheel and bearing combo just enhances the quality of my budget board. I don’t feel like I’m about to get thrown off the board when I hit cracks and for the most part the wheels throw the small rocks out of the way. I like the wheels and bearing so much I ordered another set of bearings to keep on hand. Would highly recommend.

A tremendously improved riding experience on a Boosted Mini X
The addition of these light blue wheels and some fresh belts was an absolute night and day difference for commuting to work on my boosted mini X.I think all owners can agree that the boosted mini X is a fantastic piece of engineering, and some of the most fun you can have on 4 wheels. There are 3 very slight detractions from the stock board, but these wheels fix all of them!1. Ride quality: the boosted mini doesn't have a flexible deck between the motor and battery, making it quite rigid. This coupled with the extremely hard stock wheels mean that you are made very aware of any road imperfections, dirt, pebbles, et.c, and small imperfections can be quite dangerous. These wheels totally smooth out small pebbles and cracks in the road and allow you to stomp with much more confidence.2. Top Speed: You get the sense on the boosted that the top speed is limited not by the strength of the motor, but by a speed regulator. I may be wrong here, but it pulls like CRAZY to top speed then levels out quite quickly. These wheels give you an extra 2mph at the top end, which may not seem like a lot, but it allows you to basically go the speed limit in the city, which is huge!Torque: The boosted mini x torque is unbelievable, but it can be so torquey that if you are a little bit careless on the remote, it gladly bucks you off the back. These slightly larger wheels flatten out the torque curve just a tiny bit, making the board more rideable and less jerky.Here's what I'm getting at: These wheels may seem almost exactly the same as the stock wheels on paper (only 5mm larger) but they make a WORLD of difference. A must buy for a mini X owner.

Improved wheels and bearings for boosted stealth
Replaced stock stealth wheels with a set of light blues when boosted initially refused to warranty a bearing service kit for my 50 mile board (they have since decided to send me one...faith restored). I've put about 45 miles on the new wheels so far. I also got the loaded jehu v2 bearings with the wheels because I needed to alleviate the bearing noise. Love the new wheels. Seem to handle somewhat better than the stock (more grippy in turns and carving). Bearings seem more fluid as well. Worth noting however, I could only use the bearing kit for the fronts. The stealth has one oversized bearing against the motor and no spacer on the outer. The built in spacer prevents the wheel from seating properly and you'll need the existing oversized bearing from your original rear wheel or a new one from boosted (or wherever else you can pick these up). Since boosted sent me a bearing service kit, I had a new one and I'll just save the other 4 bearings to service the front next time it needs it. shiny color gone after 1 mile. These wheels are pretty soft. Picked up some glass today in one of the wheels. It's pretty deep. Not clicking so tempted to leave it in unless someone can convince me otherwise. Orangatang dudes???

Great for most any surface
Love these wheels and they are perfect for cruising the boardwalk or Street. Smoothest wheels I've ever used reminiscent of the old red Kryptonics! These would be great for downhill also..

Sick, big ole honkin' wheels..
From the first second you open the box, these wheels beg you to play with them. My 2 year old was memorized by them, as was I... Slapping my baby blue Seismic bearings in and getting the wheels on, I was in love. They roll over everything...well, almost everything. I was going down a steep grass hill (they asked me to take them this way) and I hit a branch that I didn't see right away... The branch was at least an inch and a quarter in diameter. Other than that, nothing stood in my way.They're probably not the best wheels for someone newer to sliding and slower freeride at first , but if you stick with them, they would be good for you once they're broken in a bit. They grip when you need it and slide out when you need it and are just dead sexy while doing both.If you are looking for a large-diameter wheel, look no further. I also had many questions and Garrett was there to help me through it all. Amazing customer service. Loaded and Orangutang is a good company. It's where beautiful science and Good Vibes meet. They know what they're doing and they know how to take care of us, because they are skaters themselves. Don't hesitate, get the Caguamas.

Wheel Upgrade
I installed the Orangatang Caguama loaded 85mm onto my Hamboards 45" Carving HH Longboard and noticed an immediate difference in performance speed&handling (no tricks) strictly cruising and it's great. My board and new wheels are literally brandnew about 4days old (at time of posting) and the CAGS are a major upgrade.

The Big Softies!
Cags are great, you know it and I know it...They ride like a cloud, roll forever and roll fast! I can roll over just about everything. Tons of grip and smooth as butter!The downsides:They are heavy. Takes some strength to get them rolling but you are paid back by momentum because they roll for a while.They are heavy and soft, and I've had some rips (the beginning of a chunk) after only a couple of months. So, I might try some of the harder duro next time.But if you know that and don't care (like I did when I ordered them) you'll be freakin' happy with how juicy these suckers are.
