Durometer

Sold as a set of two with a Sticker. 0.6" height (Longboard).

WFB stands for World's Fastest Bushings — RipTide's fastest-transitioning formula, thanks to a unique friction-reducing lubricant blended into the urethane. Don't worry about the fine white residue on the surface when they arrive — that's the lubricant doing its job, and it's completely expected.

Because of that reduced friction, WFB delivers roughly 15-20% more lean than the same durometer in another brand's bushing, and rides noticeably softer than its tested durometer suggests — a great option for riders chasing a carvier, more surfy feel than APS or KranK without dropping down a full formula step.

- WFB Formula - WFB Longboard 0.6" -

Don't be afraid to mix and match a softer durometer bushing into the Road-Side (Top) position with a harder durometer in the Board-Side (Bottom) position for extra stability while keeping some carve.

- Hardest (95.5a) is for heavier riders or a very tight setup.

- Hard (93a) suits average-weight riders wanting a tight, low-wobble setup.

- Medium (88a) suits medium-weight riders, or a looser Road-Side pairing.

- Soft (78a - 83a) suits light-weight riders and a looser overall setup.

- Very Soft (68a - 73a) suits very light-weight or young riders, and is popular for slalom.
