Durian

The Orangatang Durian is a big, meaty gob of urethane designed to carry longboard commuters across town or to be smeared liberally over your favorite downhill freeride run. Combining an offset bearing seat and relatively wide contact patch with stiff, rounded lips results in what feels like a blend between a perfectly broken-in race wheel and a driftier freeride wheel.
