Your cart is empty. MAXIMUM SUPPORT / HIGH ENERGY
Is it cold in here or are you just sporting some perky bushings? Stuff these chubby puppies into your trucks and get ready to bounce out of every carve with tons of energy and rebound. Poured in Orangatang’s extra lively and energetic Randy Urethane formula.
Package includes two tall barrel bushings (0.66″ H x 1″ D), two short barrel bushings (0.56″ H x 1″ D), and four thin and strong flat washers.
COMPATIBILITY
Nipples are NOT recommended for every truck on the market. They work great on Paris V2 and V3, Carver CX and C2, Tracker Fastrack, and Randal reverse kingpin trucks.
They DO NOT work on any traditional kingpin (street) trucks, such as Independent trucks or Paris Street Trucks.
If your truck is not on this list it may not be compatible, so please check the measurements and compare with your current bushings.
LONGBOARD BUSHING SPECS
Diameter: 1″ (25.4 mm)
Height (top / road side): 0.56″ (14.2 mm)
Height (bottom / board side): 0.66″ (16.8 mm)
Formula: Randy Thane
Durometers: soft (orange), medium (purple), hard (yellow)
RECOMMENDED WEIGHT RANGES

INSTALLATION
Both top and bottom Nipple bushings feature a subtle chamfer on one edge which improves performance with cup washers. Orangatang recommends installing Nipples with the chamfer (or bottom of the printed graphic) oriented toward the washer, but feel free to experiment.

top quality -- I now prefer knuckles due to the extremely responsive turning -- whereas these medium Nipples will resist you more at first -- I think for a longboard these are good if you are having trouble with wobblingbut if you want very instant precise and surgical turning it seems the medium knuckles (or the hardness ideal for your weight) are the better choice

These bushings bring any board to life!! They increase the stability of the board while enabling deeper carving because of the flat washers! They also smooth out the ride because of the large about of squishy, high rebound urethane.Just get em

These are undoubtedly an upgrade over stock bushings. That being said the knuckles are undoubtedly an upgrade over the nipples.The nipples take a little getting used to, they are almost too soft at low speed but are solid at speed so pumping is strange at first. The nipples are also VERY good at absorbing road bumps and road noise. You won't be disappointed with the ride.My issue with the nipples is that they are so wide and supportive they actively push back against you while turning. Not toooooo stiff but stiff enough to have to change your whole turning style.My unprofessional opinion, since I own both, would be nipples are more for downhill and faster speeds requiring stability and the knuckles are more for cruising around town.

Getting back on a board to hang out with my kids, unfortunately a tad heavier now then I was in my youth at about 250. These are perfect and keep the board nice and stable. Now to try and gain some skill back, wish me luck!

Works well for a Carver CX. It's a perfect fit & an excellent replacement for the stock Carver bushing if you want to try an alternative. It's softer with a different feel in terms of rebound. TGM is a superb seller with amazing customer service.

I gommini sono buoni ma sono arrivati in una confezione danneggiata, non so se la colpa sia del venditore o della spedizione ma mancavano delle rondelle, la orangatang fa sempre ottimi prodotti comunqueAggiornamento: mi hanno rimborsato il prodotto e ho potuto riceverne di nuovi

Not good on BEAR Grizzly trucks, the hanger cup is too small of a diameter and these are a little gurthy.. also the longer of the two is a bit too long. It's doable, but you're going to be on the edge of your kingpin, and also may suffer from this nasty clicking noise as the rubber pops in and out of the hanger cup... Not sure if this is still a problem on the newest gen 6 Grizzlys tho.But, they're great on my Paris v3s. I mix and match these to get the right stiffness on my boards, and the bouncy carving they give is truly something of beauty. Plus, the orange color is this rich florescent orange and ever so slightly transparent, almost like a gummy candy. They're dummie pretty for what they are, almost want to take a bite.If you want to spice up your skate life, get these nips! If you want to play with and dial in the perfect bushing combo/setup, get these nips! If you like nips, (like real ones) get these nips!

So I decided to work my set up into more downhill a d free ride and I decided to try these orangatang soft bushings in the front with the orangatang sweet and savory medium bushings in the rear in a attempt to make a majority of the steering to come from the front of the board. This change alone put my 46 degree truck set up in a different league on it's own all I can say is the board just handles like a jet fighter on hills now (not so great at slow speeds around town but I think that's just because I still have room to gain much more skill) honestly I'm just going to have to put more miles on these to know how I like em but they do dramatically change your boards feel at speeds basically you get rebound out of the turns due po their choice of urethane
