Description
Description:
The RipTide APS Magnum Bushings are designed for trucks that feature a slightly larger bushing seat. The Magnum performs similar to the Chubby by providing a stable and predictable lean with a solid level of rebound to set your trucks back to centerline.
Best Combo:
Try combining the APS Magnum with an APS Canon bushing. This application is ideal for riders looking for stability at higher speeds but still maintaining a predictable lean for spread out turns.
Tuning:
When tuning your Magnum Bushings, RipTide recommends tightening the kingpin nut to the point where it is difficult to turn the bushing in the bushing seat by hand. Use a flat washer to lower resistance and a cupped washer for higher resistance. The APS does not change much when you tighten the kingpin nut past snug.
Application:
The APS Magnum measures .60" tall with a slightly larger bushing foot making them perfect for trucks that feature a slightly larger bushing seat such as Paris, Caliber, Kahalani Cast, and Gullwing Charger 2 (Boardside).
Animated Polymer System (APS):
RipTide describes their APS Formula as follows: "As the name implies, this compound is very lively and offers higher rebound with lots of control and lean. For the same durometer, the APS will turn 10% to 15% more than the same durometer of other brands." This formula produces a very stable feel near centerpoint yet requires very little lean effort to produce desired turns.
