Orangatang Nipples Hard Truck Bushings (Yellow, Set of 4)
by
Orangatang
SKU: OTANG-BUSH-YEL
Description
Orangatang Nipples Hard Bushings in yellow are super stable, made for riders 175-275+ lb and anyone who wants maximum support. They're less responsive at lower speeds, trading some lean for a locked-in feel when you're moving fast.
Like every Nipple, they're slightly wider and taller than most stock bushings, with a big barrel shape and high-rebound urethane that keeps even the hardest option lively.
Who Orangatang Nipples Hard Are For
- Heavier riders (175-275+ lb)
- High-speed riding where stability matters most
- Riders who want maximum support
- Anyone who wants a locked-in, stable truck
Randy Thane Formula
Every Orangatang bushing is poured in the Randy Thane formula, a high-rebound bushing urethane with energy to spare. It keeps your trucks lively, springs you out of every carve, and returns cleanly to center.
Features
- Large barrel shape, wider and taller than most stock bushings
- Tall and short barrels for board side and road side
- Randy Thane high-rebound urethane
- Four thin, strong flat washers included
Benefits
- Lively rebound out of every carve
- More support through the lean
- Highly responsive ride
- Customizable setup
Specs
| Brand | Orangatang |
| Model | Nipples |
| Hardness | Hard (Yellow) |
| Rider Weight | 175-275+ lb (79-125+ kg) |
| Diameter | 1.00" / 25.4 mm |
| Height (top / road side) | 0.56" / 14.2 mm (short barrel) |
| Height (bottom / board side) | 0.66" / 16.8 mm (tall barrel) |
| Formula | Randy Thane |
| Includes | 2 tall barrel bushings, 2 short barrel bushings, and 4 flat washers (enough for 2 trucks) |
| Fits | Reverse-kingpin trucks such as Paris V2 and V3, Carver CX and C2, Tracker Fastrack, and Randal RKP |
Setup Tips
In the standard configuration, the tall barrel (with the Orangatang "g" logo) goes on the bottom (board side) and the short barrel goes on top (road side), with a flat washer against each bushing. Trucks with deeper or shallower bushing seats may turn better with the order swapped, or with two talls or two shorts. For a more restrictive turn that firms up at the end of the lean, swap the flat washers for large cup washers, or mix hardnesses to fine-tune rebound and support.

FAQ
Are Hard Nipples too stiff for carving?
They're less responsive at lower speeds, so lighter riders may find them stiff. For more lean, try Medium or Soft Nipples.
What's the difference between Nipples and Knuckles?
Nipples are big barrels built for support and bounce, slightly wider and taller than most stock bushings. Knuckles pair an insert barrel with a gumdrop for quicker, more agile edge-to-edge response.
Will Nipples fit my trucks?
Nipples are designed for reverse-kingpin trucks such as Paris V2 and V3, Carver CX and C2, Tracker Fastrack, and Randal RKP. They are not intended for traditional-kingpin street trucks, so compare the measurements with your current bushings before ordering.
