Bushing RIPTIDE APS Barrel - Longboard 87,5A

The Barrel Longboard APS 87_5A bushings are sold in pairs or in sets of 2 pairs, with a sticker included. No washer is provided.
- Bushing height: 0.6' (15.24 mm) - Bushing diameter: 0.98' (24.89 mm).

The APS compound is very dynamic, providing excellent bounce with plenty of control and lean. This formula does not change much even if you tighten the kingpin nut past the point of tension (which prevents turning the bushing by hand).

Note: the rounded edge must be oriented towards the truck hanger and fits perfectly into the bushing housing. Don't hesitate to mix a bushing with a softer hardness on the road side (top) and a higher hardness on the board side (bottom). This can provide increased stability while still allowing some carving.

Recommendations according to hardness:

- Very hard bushings (97.5a): for heavier riders or looking for a very rigid setup.
- Hard Bushings (95a - 92.5a): for medium weight riders wanting a stiff setup with very little wobble.
- Medium bushings (90a - 85a): for medium weight riders looking for a softer setup than the tough ones.
- Soft bushings (80a - 75a): for light riders looking for a more flexible setup.
- Very soft bushings (70a - 60a): designed for very light, young riders, or those wanting an ultra-soft setup (slalom).
