Riptide: APS Fatcone Bushings

Description

RipTide Bushings offer two unique varieties of urethane. The WFB (World’s Fastest Bushing) and APS (Animated Polymer Systems).

The APS compound offers a very linear turn (keeps the bushings predictable all the way to the end) along with a solid level of rebound to get your trucks back to center after a quick turn.

The bulky shape of the RipTide Fat Cone Bushings offers a blend between a Barrel and a Chubby. The circumference of a barrel where the bushings sit on the truck, and then gradually widens to the size of a chubby where the washers sit. This gives you the ability to get leaner than a chubby, while giving you progressive resistance the more you turn (bushings gets more restrictive the more you turn).

If you combine the RipTide Fat Cone Bushings with a set of the RipTide Barrel bushings, you’ve got yourself a great combo for fast freeriding and technical downhill.

These Fat Cones are wider than your typical bushing. This means a standard cupped washer isn’t gonna fit. Luckily for you, the Fat Cone Pack includes two large flat washers, too!
