The Orangatang Love Handles: quick and light meet plush and grippy. A traction-focused design in a compact package for agility, acceleration, and control. With a wheel this pumpable, you’ll never do crunches again.

Its compact size ensures quick acceleration, and sharp lips and surface skin maintain traction and control for all your hard carving and pumping endeavors. Love Handles are poured in Orangatang’s proprietary Happy Thane formula for high roll speed, plush feel, and smooth, predictable traction.

About Orangatang Orangatang Wheels was hatched in 2008 as a means of advocating for the civil liberties of the indigenous river capybaras of Southern California. They also gained international praise in 2009 for their brief and completely unrelated foray into exotic animal jerky manufacturing and wholesale.
