The new Orangatang Beefcake wheel designed for high-speed freeride and technical sliding. It performs well for throwing slides and linking rotations repeatedly.
This wheel is built for enhanced freeriding performance. It has a sturdy shape and a stone-ground contact patch for smooth slides and easy slide initiation. The round edges ensure a consistent lip shape for catch-free sliding.
The Beefcake is able to handle tough riding conditions and provides reliable performance every time.
The 73mm Beefcake is ideal for:
- Beginners who want an adaptable freeride wheel that makes learning to slide easy.
- Advanced riders who need high roll speed, predictable hookup and release, and a large size for durability.
- Technical riders who prefer a soft-wheel feel to link rotations and perform slide shuv-its, blunt slides, and other technical slides.

The Beefcake’s shape is ideal for all types of freeriding. Its large round edges result in a consistent lip shape, making slides smooth and catch-free over the wheel’s lifespan.
The stone-ground contact patch gives you predictable and smooth slides right from the start.
The centerset core and bearing seat allow you to flip the wheels, extending their lifespan.
The wheel uses a special urethane which results in a comfortable ride and long-lasting performance.
The core measures 35x38mm with a deep valley-shaped cross section. It’s made from strong, stiff, heat-resistant urethane that greatly supports the rounded lips of the wheel.
This results in smooth and consistent slides, even wear, and long-lasting use.
