Bones Bushings Hardcore Hard (96A) Black
by
Bones
SKU: BO406
Description
Bones Hardcore Hard 96A skateboard bushings deliver a tight, stable truck for riders who want maximum control. The firm urethane resists compression, cutting down on wobble at speed and keeping your board locked in on landings. If your trucks feel squirrelly or you keep cranking the kingpin nut to tighten up, 96A is the answer.
Hard bushings can feel dead and take forever to break in. Bones Hardcore bushings bond high-rebound cushion urethane to a hard inner core, so even at 96A they stay lively and responsive instead of stiff. You get the stability of a hard bushing without giving up a clean, quick return to center.
Who Hard 96A Bushings Are For
- Heavier riders who compress softer bushings too easily
- Technical street skaters who want a stable base for ledges, rails, and flip tricks
- Fast bowl and downhill riding where speed wobbles are a concern
- Anyone who likes a tight truck without overtightening the kingpin
Features
- Patented Double Action bushing design
- Chemically bonded hard core insert
- High-rebound Bones cushion urethane
Benefits
- Virtually no break-in period
- Highly responsive turns
- Better truck centering and control
- Bushings won't pop out of their cups

FAQ
Are 96A bushings too stiff?
Not for the right rider. Heavier skaters and anyone who wants a locked-in feel will find them just right. If you want easier turning, Medium 91A is a better fit.
Do hard bushings help with speed wobbles?
Yes. Firmer bushings resist the small side-to-side movements that turn into wobbles at speed, keeping your board steadier.
Do Bones Hardcore bushings fit Independent trucks?
Yes. They fit Independent, Venture, Thunder, Tensor, Royal, and most other standard skateboard trucks.

Just what I was looking for!!!

Great products & service thanks

Very Responsive, even when riding tight.
K
Best aftermarket bushings available
B
These are awesome. Needed hards since I'm about 250lbs, the narrow bottom makes em surfy but still firm.
S
These are awesome bushings. Replaced the original bushings with these for more stability. Recommend for beginners.
R
These are the only good bushings for tucks with 9" axels for heavier riders.
A
These unlock the true potential of Ace trucks. It’s a little annoying that Ace doesn’t make their own version of a conical bushing but I guess they didn’t want to compete with these. Makes sense I guess.
P
These are always good, and will last an amount of time if you dont mess with them too much. They never last forever though.
