The Fangs V2 Bumper Wheels
Try this easy, simple fix to increase the safety of your Onewheel Pint!
Safety on a Onewheel is paramount, which is why we invented Fangs after our own nasty nosedive on a Onewheel Plus, back in 2018. After many prototypes and released versions of Fangs, now years later the bumper has been redesigned for the Pint platform. Give yourself the gift of a second chance at recovery against unexpected nosedives!
What can FANGS do for me? I don't want to be injured.
Fangs for Pint boards (launch, X and S models) provide you with 4 benefits:
- WHEN you nosedive (not IF), you'll have more time to react and take action, rather than the instantaneous "shoulder into the ground" (and possibly collar bone breakage) many of us have experienced. Without Fangs, your board will stop almost instantly - but your body will keep going...down to the ground to meet the pavement. Fangs wheels allow the front of the board to roll with little friction, and it's this precious few seconds of extra time that can mean the difference between a minor scrape or visiting the ER for a broken collar bone.
- Since the wheels ROLL on the ground, it saves your bumper from being scraped up and chewed through, and keeps your board free of damage for longer. Wheels are replaceable and quick to change - and far cheaper to replace than an entire bumper.
- A built-in handle recess at the front makes it much easier to lift the board by the front of the nose, and even carry it a short distance. The stock bumper has no handle at all, making it slippery and difficult to grab.
-
Then there is the FANG Drag - where you slam the nose down from a stop and ride it up to your chosen speed...there's no faster way to accelerate on a Onewheel, and it's a lot of fun to practice and train your muscle memory so that when a nose dive does occur (and it will), you can recover without a crash.
Won't they catch on dirt trails?
The wheels of the Fangs for Pint bumper are recessed into the wheel wells, so they don't dig in to the dirt or stick out far enough to catch on terrain. They protrude enough to work, but not so much that they catch on terrain. On soft dirt they perform the same as a bumper without wheels. On hard packed dirt or grass, they actually do roll quite well, unlike a standard bumper.
Who uses Fangs?
Thousands of riders across the world run Fangs on all of their boards. There are more than 6000 Fangs™ for Pint bumpers in use worldwide. And more join in every day. Check out the reviews and you'll see satisfied customers from all over the world.
Is there any warranty?
Yes, we have a fantastic warranty for Fangs users!
All Fangs™ come with a 1-year warranty and a guarantee. If any issues arise during use, we'll replace it! Just contact us if you ever have an issue.
Are they hard to install?
Not at all! Only a single T20 Torx key (included) is needed to install, and it only takes 5-6 minutes to do so. Pint Fangs fit ALL versions of the Pint, from the launch version and the new X and S versions. All screws are stainless steel and provided in your kit.
I've heard people say I should just "learn the board" and not use Fangs as they are just training wheels.
You certainly could learn to ride without Fangs, but what they don't tell you is that "learn the board" means you'll be hitting the pavement many times, and getting the road rash or broken bones on your road to "learning". If you value your skin and the health of your body, why not make it easier and safer to ride? Many experienced riders keep the Fangs on because it's an extra layer of protection against injury. In the same way, you CAN ride without a helmet or pads - but that doesn't mean it's a good idea! Be smart, ride safe, and live to ride another day - instead of waiting to heal up until you can ride again.

FANGS™ are an experimental product, and no guarantees are offered in terms of saving a rider from all nosedives. However, they have been proven to work time and again by many riders. These stories are in the open Facebook Onewheel rider groups (and we're starting to post them in the reviews here) and customers are always emailing in their stories (and it’s great to hear, keep them coming!)
The only way to prevent nosedives is to not accelerate too hard for a given speed – thus, no product can "prevent" a nosedive. Gradual speed increases will result in less nosedive events, as will riding at moderate speeds. FANGS™ take practice and skill to use effectively.
