Orangatang Nipple Soft Longboard Bushings
The Orangatang Nipple Soft Bushing Set is built for riders who want maximum lean, lively rebound, and an ultra-surfy turning feel. Designed for carving, pumping, dancing, and freestyle longboarding, Nipples deliver a spring-loaded response that makes every turn feel energetic and expressive.
Poured in Orangatang’s extremely high-rebound Randy Thane formula, these bushings offer juicy bounce, quick return-to-center, and smooth edge-to-edge transitions. The Soft durometer is the loosest, most playful option—perfect for riders who want effortless maneuverability and deep carving flow.

Truck Compatibility
Orangatang Nipples are not universal and work best with select reverse-kingpin trucks, including:
- Paris V2 & V3
- Carver CX & C2
- Tracker Fastrack
- Randal RKP trucks
Not compatible with traditional kingpin street trucks (e.g., Independent or Paris Street Trucks). If your truck isn’t listed, compare measurements to your current bushings to confirm fit.
Installation Tips
Each Nipple bushing has a subtle chamfer designed to work smoothly with cup washers. For best performance, install with the chamfer facing the washer (or with the printed graphic’s bottom toward the washer). Feel free to experiment to fine-tune your ideal ride feel.
