Orangatang Knuckles Soft Bushings in orange are made for quick turning response and smooth edge-to-edge transitions. Recommended for riders 65-190+ lb, the soft Knuckles give you maximum lean for carving, pumping, dancing, and freestyle longboarding.

Each set includes two shapes: an insert barrel with a small step that fills the gap between the kingpin and hanger to reduce play, and a gumdrop that blends barrel and cone for enhanced agility. Precise inner tolerances give a snug fit around the kingpin for a tight, responsive feel.

Who Orangatang Knuckles Soft Are For

• Lighter to mid-weight riders (65-190+ lb)

Setup Tips

In the standard configuration, the insert barrel goes on the bottom (board side) with the insert facing the hanger, and the gumdrop goes on top (road side) with the rounded side toward the washer. 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.

Find Your Orangatang Bushings

Knuckles are built for quick, agile edge-to-edge response. Nipples are bigger barrels built for support and bounce. Pick your model, then match the hardness to your weight.

FAQ

Should I choose Soft or Medium Knuckles?

Soft Knuckles are recommended for riders 65-190+ lb and give more lean. Medium Knuckles are recommended for riders 130-230+ lb and add support. If you're in the overlap, go soft for a looser feel or medium for more control.

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.
