Orangatang Nipples Medium Truck Bushings (Purple, Set of 4)
by
Orangatang
SKU: OTANG-BUSH-PUR
Description
Orangatang Nipples Medium Bushings in purple combine solid response with increased stability for riders 150-250+ lb. These big, lively barrels spring you out of every carve while keeping your trucks controlled at higher speeds.
The larger barrel shape adds support and more material to compress than stock bushings, giving you a bouncy, energetic ride that still feels planted.
Who Orangatang Nipples Medium Are For
- Mid to heavier riders (150-250+ lb)
- Carving with increased stability
- Riders who want solid response at higher speeds
- Anyone who finds soft bushings too loose
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 | Medium (Purple) |
| Rider Weight | 150-250+ lb (68-113+ 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
Which Nipples hardness should I get?
Match it to your weight: Soft for 75-200+ lb, Medium for 150-250+ lb, and Hard for 175-275+ lb. Medium is the balanced choice for solid response with added stability.
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.
