Orangatang Knuckles Medium Longboard Bushing Set
The Orangatang Knuckles Medium Bushing Set is the perfect “just right” upgrade for riders who want a responsive, energetic feel without going too soft or too stiff. Designed for carving, pumping, freestyle, and dancing, these bushings deliver smooth turning, lively rebound, and dependable support in a wide range of riding styles.
Poured in Orangatang’s ultra high-rebound Randy Thane formula, Knuckles Medium bushings provide crisp return-to-center and powerful pump efficiency. They’re ideal for riders who want a setup that feels agile and fun, while still maintaining stability when leaning harder or riding faster.
Dual-Shape Design for Tuned Performance
Each set includes two precision bushing shapes that work together for balanced control:
- Insert Barrel (Board Side): A stepped barrel design that fills the gap between kingpin and hanger, reducing slop and improving accuracy.
- Gumdrop (Road Side): A hybrid cone-barrel shape that enhances turn initiation and smooth, fluid edge-to-edge transitions.
Both bushings feature snug inner tolerances for a stable kingpin fit and consistent, predictable lean.
