RipTide WFB Magnum longboard bushings

RipTide WFB Magnum longboard bushings

** Sold as set of 2 **

The Magnum is the new Chubby bushing, designed specifically to take the V3 Paris truck to another level of performance. The shape offers the highest stability of all the shapes and work best in a truck that has a stepped bushing seat (Paris and Caliber) to take advantage of the secondary step in the bushing.  They still turn very well and can be used in a softer duro if you are looking for a stable yet plush and comfortable setup.  It is one of the most versatile bushings because of its size and shape.

The Magnum is the latest bushing developed for the Paris truck. Most of the Loaded team are on Riptide bushings. The bushing is compatible with these trucks: Bennett (roadside), Caliber, Gullwing Charger 2 (boardside), Gullwing Stalker (boardside), Indeesz (boardside), Kahalani Cast and Paris.

What is the difference between the Canon and the Magnum in a Paris truck?
A deep lean but slightly more restrictive than the Canon.

This compound has a unique lubrication added that does not bond with the urethane which is why you will often see a white residue on the surface.  This compound offers reduced bushing friction for fast transitions and a deeper lean than the APS. WFB will turn 15% to 20% more than the same durometer of other brands.  WFB also offers lower rebound than APS and is designed for the rider that wants a very fluid response.  Truly the bushing of choice for the more experienced rider that wants to control his bushings instead of the bushings controlling him or her.  Like APS, the WFB compound does not change much when you tighten the kingpin nut past snug.  RipTide recommends tightening to the point where it is difficult to turn the bushing in the bushing seat by hand.  Use a flat washer for lower resistance and a cupped washer for higher resistance.

SPECS:

Sold as Pair with a set of flat washers and a sticker

• 1.10" Dia x .60" High (24.77mm Dia x 15.24mm High)
• WFB rides a couple of points softer than they test, so order accordingly

• Hard durometer bushings (95.5a - 93a) are for heavier-weight riders (over 125lbs) and allow for a nice tight set-up.
• Medium durometer bushings (88a - 83a) are for medium-weight riders (75 - 125lbs) & those looking for a looser setup in the RoadSide position when coupled with a harder duro bushing.
• Soft durometer bushings (83a - 78a) are for light-weight riders & those looking for a loose setup in the RoadSide position.
• 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.
