RIPTIDE APS BARREL BUSHINGS

Introducing the RIPTIDE APS BARREL BUSHINGS from Riptide Sports - the ultimate upgrade for your skateboarding experience.

APS™ Formula: Animated Polymer System

As the name suggests, these bushings feature the innovative APS compound, delivering a lively and dynamic ride with exceptional rebound, control, and lean. Compared to other brands of the same durometer, the APS bushings offer an impressive 10% to 15% more turn. What's more, tightening the kingpin nut won't significantly alter the performance of these bushings. For optimum results, we recommend tightening until it's challenging to turn the bushing in the bushing seat by hand. Use a flat washer for lower resistance or a cupped washer for higher resistance.

Smooth and Responsive Ride:

Riptide APS Barrel Longboard Bushings come in a Pair and include a bonus sticker. Please note that no washers are included. With a bushing height of 0.6" and a diameter of 0.98", these bushings are engineered for maximum performance.

Precision Design:

The APS compound ensures these bushings remain lively, providing high rebound along with excellent control and lean. Unlike other formulas, these bushings won't undergo significant changes when you tighten the kingpin nut, guaranteeing consistent performance.

Quick Guide to Upright Setup:

Remember, when installing the bushings, position the rounded edge towards the hanger of the skateboard truck, ensuring a snug fit into the bushing seat.

Customize Your Ride:

Don't be afraid to mix and match bushing durometers to achieve the perfect setup. Pair a softer durometer bushing in the Road-Side (Top) position with a harder durometer in the Board-Side (Bottom) position for added stability while still allowing for responsive carving.

Choose Your Durometer:

- Very Hard (97.5a): Ideal for heavier riders or those seeking an ultra-tight setup.

- Hard (95a - 92.5a): Perfect for average-weight riders, providing a tight setup with minimal wobble.

- Medium (90a - 85a): Suitable for medium-weight riders and those desiring a slightly looser setup than hard bushings.

- Soft (80a - 75a): Designed for light-weight riders and those seeking a loose setup.

- Very Soft (70a - 60a): Tailored for very light-weight or young riders, as well as those looking for an ultra-loose setup, perfect for slalom.
