RipTide APS Penny skateboard bushings (set of 4)

These kits are specifically designed to upgrade your Penny Skateboard trucks!

One kit has four bushings, enough to replace all the bushings on your Penny.

APS stands for Animated Polymer System, and as the name implies, this compound is very lively and offers high rebound with lots of control and lean.  For the same durometer, the APS will turn 10% to 15% more than the same durometer of other brands.  In addition, the APS does not change much when you tighten the kingpin nut past snug.  RipTide recommend tightening to the point where it is difficult to turn the bushing in the bushing seat by hand.  Use a flat washer for more resistance and a cupped washer for even higher resistance.

Elevate your Penny skateboard experience with our high quality APS Urethane, designed to enhance performance and support all riding styles. Whether you're cruising the streets, commuting, or pushing the limits of your penny board, our bushings will provide the perfect blend of stability, responsiveness and agility.
