The Riptide APS Tall Barrel bushings are for use in trucks that require/accommodate Tall Bushings (such as Ronin, Bear Kodiak, Arsenal). Tall Barrels offer the next step up in stability above the Tall Cones!
This bushing registers within the hard durometer bushing range and are for are for heavier-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.Â
With a medium durometer rating of 97.5a, this bushing is ideal for heavier-weight riders (Over 125lbs). In addition, these are 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, one with more stability, or one that is great for flat-out speed, these Riptide APS Tall Bushings will accommodate all with the right pairing configuration!
