Fangs - Onewheel GT:
Land Surf is proud to present the next chapter in the Fangs line of bumper wheels, Fangs GT!
With a new, larger 43x19mm wheel size, 100A hardness urethane wheels, and molded from super tough UHMW plastic (the same material used on Bang Bumpers), Fangs GT is the 7th generation of bumper wheels and the ultimate solution to a low-friction nose that works on-road or off-road.

Custom-designed CNC goodies abound on the FANGS GT:
The stainless CNC axles are custom made for the FANGS GT, and each axle is secured by two CNC Aluminum axle carriers. There are no external screws for the axle, resulting in a very clean, streamlined look that is unlike any other bumper.
HOW DO FANGS WORK?
FANGS greatly reduce the amount of friction that the nose of your board generates with the ground when it touches.
It makes the board slow down more gradually, giving you time to jump off or lift the nose and recover. When a nosedive occurs, all of your weight transfers to the front footpad, and you either scrape plastic, with the board stopping instantly (and your body continuing on), or you have Fangs and roll on ball bearings with a far easier to manage rate of deceleration.
it doesn’t take an expert to see that decelerating more slowly gives you more time to react, than instantly flying off the front of your board when it stops.
Even the least-friction plastic available (such as the UHMW plastic used on our BASH bumpers) generates several orders of magnitude more friction than the Fangs wheels.
Take this simple physics example:
When you're standing on a moving platform such as a Onewheel, your body has a certain momentum that is determined by your mass and velocity. This momentum makes it difficult for your body to suddenly change its state of motion, such as stopping or slowing down. When the board suddenly decelerates from 20 mph to 5 mph over the course of just 1 second, as with a stock plastic front bumper in a nosedive, the change in momentum is very sudden and intense. Your body will tend to continue moving forward with the original momentum (ie, 20mph), and it will take a lot of effort and very quick reactions for your muscles and joints to counteract this sudden motion and keep you upright. It’s nearly impossible except for a few very talented riders worldwide. Less than .25% of all riders fall in this category.
On the other hand, if the platform decelerates from 20 mph to 10 mph over 3 or more seconds, as when using Fangs for example, the change in momentum is more gradual and easier to manage. Your body will have more time to adjust to the changing velocity, and your muscles and joints won't have to work as hard to keep you standing upright.
To summarize: sudden changes in velocity create more intense changes in momentum, which make it harder for your body to adjust and stay upright. Gradual changes in velocity give your body more time to adapt, and are therefore easier to manage. and that significantly less sudden deceleration is what Fangs provide. Not magic. Just physics.
