Orangatang Knuckles Soft Longboard Bushing Set
The Orangatang Knuckles Soft Bushing Set is built for riders who want the loosest, most surfy, high-energy turning feel in the Knuckles lineup. Designed for carving, pumping, dancing, and freestyle longboarding, these bushings deliver quick response, smooth lean, and ultra-fluid transitions.
Made with Orangatang’s extremely high-rebound Randy Thane formula, Knuckles Soft bushings provide juicy bounce, fast return-to-center, and a lively ride that makes pumping easier and carving more expressive. If you want maximum agility and flow, this is the set to run.
Dual-Shape Design for Responsive Control
Each set includes two precision bushing shapes that work together for tuned performance:
- Insert Barrel (Board Side): Features a stepped insert that fills the gap between the kingpin and hanger, reducing slop and improving accuracy.
- Gumdrop (Road Side): A hybrid cone-barrel shape that boosts agility, smooth turn initiation, and effortless edge-to-edge transitions.
Both bushings are made with tight inner tolerances for a snug kingpin fit and consistent, predictable lean.
