AERA 
Riptide Pivot Tubes are the result of two years of beta testing in every possible condition that Colorado’s high country can deliver.
RipTide’s pivots Cups and Tubes are specifically designed for each truck. In many cases, Riptide offers both tubes and cups for the same truck.
Both offer the smooth turning benefits of RipTide’s exclusive internally lubricated WFB Urethane in 96a but the Tube offers even lower friction due to the reduced surface contact with the nose of the hanger.
The Cups are first molded and then the end is machined to fit the truck’s base plate perfectly, leaving the pivot contact area is as smooth as possible. No machining imperfections and no heat affected zone in the pivot contact area. The Tubes on the other hand are 100% molded and no machining is required.
RipTide Ambassador Johnathan Valenzuela put together this quick video of him shredding some of his local Maui hills.
