The Riptide APS Barrel Bushings are for use in standard trucks (such as Atlas, Bear and Caliber). Barrels offer an excellent balance between stability and control.

Riptide barrels offers the next step up in stability above Riptide’s Cones and are often used for a broad range of skating disciplines depending on the skater’s skill level and personal preference.

Awesome as a double-barrel application, but amazingly changeable when paired with a Cone, Chubby or Fat Cone.

Depending on whether you’re searching to find a carvy, surfy feel (Barrel/Cone), one with more stability (Barrel/Fat Cone) or one that is great for flat-out speed (Barrel/Chubby).

This bushing registers within the medium durometer bushing range, are for medium weight riders, and for those looking for a bit looser setup than the hard.

Please keep in mind, that APS bushings ride a couple of points softer than they test.

APS FORMULA:

As the name implies, this 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. We recommend tightening to the point where it is difficult to turn the bushing in the bushing seat by hand. Use a flat washer for lower resistance and a cupped washer for higher resistance.

RipTide

RipTide's all about designing and developing the sickest gear out there, no doubt. When you're searching for the perfect bushing, you gotta focus on three things: how you ride, the shape of the bushing, and the durometer. The durometer of a bushing is what determines whether it's hard or soft. And that's what's gonna give you that sweet lean you're looking for. But when you're picking out the right durometer, you gotta consider two things: your riding style and your weight. If you're all about bombing hills, you're gonna want a harder bushing for max stability. But if you're more into freeriding, a softer bushing's gonna be your jam. And don't forget about your weight, either. If you're a featherweight, go for a soft bushing. If you're packing some pounds, you'll wanna go harder.
