Orangatang Nipple Hard Longboard Bushings
The Orangatang Nipple Hard Bushing Set is the most supportive and stable option in the Nipple lineup, built for riders who want maximum control, firm turning response, and high-speed confidence. These bushings are ideal for aggressive pumping, downhill carving, and heavier riders who need extra resistance and stability in their setup.
Made from Orangatang’s extremely high-rebound Randy Thane formula, Nipples Hard provide fast, energetic return-to-center with a stiff, precise lean profile. The result is a controlled carve feel that stays composed under pressure—perfect for riders who prioritize support and performance over loose surfy play.
