Riptide: KranK Magnum Bushings

Description

Quantity 1 = 2 bushings which is enough for 1 truck. Order quantity 2 for a complete longboard.

Note from the manufacturer regarding Paris V3 fitment:

Riptide suggests pairing a Magnum with a Canon for the best results when using Paris V3 Reverse Kingpin trucks. Paris V3 kingpins are a few threads shorter than the older Paris V2. Selecting a durometer lower as your “Roadside” Paris V3 bushing will produce the best results. The intention is to allow for more turns on the kingpin nut. The result of the softer Canon bushing will create more lean or turn in your trucks. Note: A Magnum boardside and roadside will not fit properly.

The Krank Magnum bushings are designed for Paris, Caliber, and Bear trucks.

Riptide Canon bushings will fit Roadside on Bennet trucks.

The Krank bushings are made out of a high rebound formula that will harden when compressed under pressure. For example, if you are cruising down a mellow hill, and you then you decide to mob down a bigger hill, just tighten that kingpin nut down a turn or two and voila you are ready to go.

The Magnums are just like your standard barrel for TKP trucks, but are made for trucks with less defined bushing seats

The straight-walled shape of the RipTide Magnum bushings offers a stable platform and slightly higher rebound than the Cones, making the RipTide Barrels an excellent choice for higher speed freeriding as well as faster downhill purposes.

RipTide’s Description

Sold as Pair with Large Flat Washers & a Sticker!

27.75mm Dia x 15.50mm High.

Choose the Magnum shape if you’re using Paris Trucks or any truck that has a slightly larger bushing seat. The somewhat larger shape will fill that seat snugly, thus eliminating the chance of dead-space or slop that can result in a weird, not-in-full-control feeling.

The Magnum shape itself is more along the lines of the FatCone in that it offers more stability and resistance to lean, which in turn gives a super ‘plush’ feel to your setup. Use boardside and combine with the Canon shape for the best experience!

KranK rides a couple of points softer than it tests, so order accordingly.
Harder KranK durometer bushings (93a) are for heavier-weight riders (over 140lbs) as harder durometer bushings allow for a nice tight setup.
Softer KranK durometer bushings (87a) are best for medium-weight riders (75 – 140lbs) as well as for those looking for a looser setup in the RoadSide position when coupled with a harder duro bushing.

Excellent when used as a Canon/Magnum combo – but incredibly fun and variable when used in the Roadside position in combo with other shapes & or duro’s in the Boardside position. (All shapes & sizes of RipTide Bushings are available in the KranK formula!)
