And that significantly less sudden deceleration is what Fangs provide. Gradual changes in velocity give your body more time to adapt, and are therefore easier to manage. To summarize: sudden changes in velocity create more intense changes in momentum, which make it harder for your body to adjust and stay upright. 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. On the other hand, if the board decelerates from 20 mph to 10 mph over 3 or more second (as when using Fangs for example), the change in momentum is more gradual and easier to manage. It’s nearly impossible except for a few very talented riders worldwide. 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. 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. This momentum makes it difficult for your body to suddenly change its state of motion, such as stopping or slowing down. 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. It doesn’t take a physics expert to understand that decelerating more slowly gives you more time to react than the board instantly stopping.Įven 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. When a nosedive occurs, nearly 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 makes the board slow down more gradually, giving you time to jump off or lift the nose and recover. We could go on forever about the 100's of features and enhancements, but the message is simple: These are the best Fangs™ yet.We hope you enjoy them!įANGS greatly reduce the amount of friction that the nose of your board generates with the ground when it touches. There are no washers or square nuts to lose, and installation couldn't be easier! Changing out a wheel takes less than 15 seconds and only requires one strong stainless steel screw (the axle) to be removed. And we succeeded by simplifying the entire assembly. In designing the new Fangs™ 3.0, one goal was that changing out the wheels had to be an easy, fast process with a very low part count. ![]() Normal plastics can fade in the sunlight after some exposure, but Fangs™ 3.0 will keep looking better, longer! The bumper's ultra-slick, tough plastic is impervious to water and most chemicals, and is blended with UV stabilizers keep the colors vibrant longer. Rounded convex surfaces provide a better sliding surface in nearly every terrain situation. The flowing lines, beveled edges, and curved faces mean that Fangs 3.0 slide over dirt and grass efficiently, without presenting sharp edges in the geometry terrain can hit and quickly stop the board. With wide, flat wheels, FANGS™ can roll even on short grass! It's made for Onewheel® XR®'s and Plus® models, and we can't wait to see what you can do with it!ĭrag the nose of your board whenever you want, and even steer while doing so.the new, 20mm-wide wheels easily handle all sorts of rough pavement, and are far less likely to catch on anything when hitting a trail run. Even hard-packed dirt and trails can benefit. It's the only bumper with super low-friction, durable plastic and the widest flat wheels of anything else out there. And the screws are deep-set into the plastic to avoid grinding the heads down. No headlight LED's are blocked, and the fit is perfect! The wider wheels are set further apart than previous Fangs, allowing for more stability. Instead of separate mounts, Fangs 3.0 for XR's and Plus boards is now a complete front bumper replacement that fits exactly in the spot the stock bumper is. GT Fangs are here.įor this milestone release, we went back to the drawing board and created a fresh new design that incorporates all of the feedback and lessons learned from previous Fangs™ versions. Note that Fangs 3.0 DO NOT fit the new GT. With more than 5,000 Fangs™ 3.0 bumpers in use worldwide, Fangs™ 3.0 is the 6th generation of the original and most-loved bumper wheels for Onewheel ®. ![]()
