Orangatang Nipples Soft Truck Bushings (Orange, Set of 4)
by
Orangatang
SKU: OTANG-BUSH-ORN
Description
Orangatang Nipples Soft Bushings in orange are big, lively barrels built for tight turns and maximum response. Recommended for riders 75-200+ lb, they help you bounce out of every carve with tons of energy and rebound.
Slightly wider and taller than most stock truck bushings, Nipples give your trucks more material to squish, so you get deep, responsive carves with support that holds you up through every lean.
Who Orangatang Nipples Soft Are For
- Lighter to mid-weight riders (75-200+ lb)
- Tight, deep carving
- Riders who want maximum response and bounce
- Cruising with a lively, surfy feel
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

| 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. In the overlap, go softer for more lean or harder for more 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.
