The Riptide APS Cone Bushings offer the lowest resistance and stability of bushing shapes which can allow your trucks to easily achieve their full lean and turn!
This bushing registers within the soft durometer bushing range and are for are for medium-weight riders and those looking for a loose setup in the roadside position. Please keep in mind, that APS bushings ride a couple of points softer than they test.
As the name implies, this APS compound is very lively and offers high rebound with lots of control and lean. For the same durometer, the APS will turn 10% to 15% more than the same durometer of other brands. In addition, the APS does not change much when you tighten the kingpin nut past snug.
With a soft durometer rating of 60a, this bushing is ideal for light-weight riders (Under 75lbs). In addition, the cone/ cone setup is best for those looking for a very carvy or surfy feel. With this choice, the further you lean, the less resistance there is. If you’re wanting the same feel, but more stability, then the cone/ barrel setup is the best configuration for you. With this choice the resistance is constant throughout the range of motion.
