The Riptide WFB Barrel Bushings are the most commonly used bushings for use in standard trucks such as Atlas, Bear and Caliber, etc!
Barrels offer offers the next step up in stability above our Cones and are often used for a broad range of skating disciplines depending on the skater’s skill level and personal preference.Â
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 soft durometer bushing range and are for are for lighter-weight (75 – 125lbs) riders and for those looking for a tight. Please keep in mind, that WFB bushings ride a couple of points softer than they test.
WFB FORMULA:
The WFB Formula will feature a white powder residue on the surface, which is a good thing and is expected. This unique lubrication added that does not bond with the urethane. Photographed products had been washed beforehand, so do not worry if your product arrives with a white powder on the surface.
This compound offers reduced bushing friction for fast transitions and a deeper lean than the APS. WFB will turn 15% to 20% more than the same durometer of other brands. WFB also offers lower rebound than APS and is designed for the rider that wants a very fluid response.
Truly the bushing of choice for the more experienced rider that wants to control their bushings instead of the bushings controlling them.
Like APS, the WFB compound 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.
