ALL ABOUT THE BIRDS AND THE KNEES.
Grab your Epi-Pen and say hello to the Orangatang Bee’s Knees, your new go-to wheel for crushing commutes, pumping pavement, and going the distance. This wheel is built for long-haul legends, daily grinders buzzing around town, and anyone using their board as a vehicle (or fitness plan).
With loads of plush pollinated urethane, a centerset core, and big ol’ round lips with chunk-resistant roundovers, this thing rolls smooth, grips hard, and eats up rough roads. At just 10.1 oz per wheel, they’re light and quick: perfect for long-distance pushers, and anyone who treats curb-hopping like cardio. These adept 90mm honeycombs are here to smooth your stoke and take the sting out of rough rides.

- You need a wheel for your bracket board, your eskate setup, or you’re not scared of riser pads and some extra ride height.
