Riptide: KranK TALL Barrel Bushings

Description

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

RipTide Bushings offer three unique varieties of urethane:
The APS (Animated Polymer Systems). the WFB (World’s Fastest Bushings), and the newest edition to the family is the KranK (Performance Under Pressure).

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 some mellow hills then you decide to step it and mob down the next, just tighten that kingpin nut down a turn or two and voila your ready to go.

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

If you combine the RipTide Barrel Bushings with a set of the RipTide Cones bushings, you’ve got yourself a great combo for aggressive carves and low to mid-speed freeriding, too!

These bushings are .8″ tall, which makes them a great fit for Ronin and Bennett Vector Trucks.

DIMENSIONS:
Height: ~19.8mm
Outer Diameter: ~24.75mm
Inner Diameter: ~9.40mm

RipTide’s Description

KranK: Performance Under Pressure

Our highest rebound formula to date, KranK is designed specifically to change under pressure and is controlled by the amount of clamp pressure you subject it to when tightening the King Pin nut!

The effective range of control is from barely snug for the loosest feel to 2 full turns for the tightest feel.

KranK will turn the same or less than the same durometer of other brands which is also a departure from APS and WFB.

As for washers, flat washers work great with this compound, but for the greatest control and range of this performance feature, use cupped, precision flat or precision cupped washers.
