Orangatang Knuckles Medium Truck Bushings (Purple, Set of 4)
Description
Orangatang Knuckles Medium Bushings in purple deliver quick, precise edge-to-edge response with more support for riders 130-230+ lb. They're the high-energy upgrade for carving, pumping, dancing, and freestyle when you want agility without feeling loose.
The insert barrel's small step fills the gap between the kingpin and hanger, reducing slop for a more precise response. The rounded gumdrop on top initiates turns smoothly and interfaces cleanly with the washers, so every transition feels controlled.
Who Orangatang Knuckles Medium Are For

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.

You can also run double insert barrels or double gumdrops. For a less restrictive, more linear turn, swap the included cup washers for flat washers.

FAQ
Do Knuckles come in hard?
No. Knuckles are available in Soft (orange) and Medium (purple). For a hard option, look at Orangatang Nipples Hard.
What's the difference between Knuckles and Nipples?
Knuckles combine an insert barrel and a gumdrop for quick, agile edge-to-edge transitions. Nipples are larger barrels that give more support, more rebound, and a bouncy, energetic carve.
Will Knuckles fit my trucks?
Knuckles fit most reverse-kingpin longboard trucks, including Paris V2 and V3, Bear, Randal, Carver, Gullwing, Tracker, Caliber, Atlas, Bolzen, Aera, Rogue, PNL, and Ronin. They are not intended for traditional-kingpin street trucks, so compare the measurements with your current bushings before ordering.
