DESCRIPTION
Bushings are another great way to add personal flare to your board, and they also serve a big purpose for dialling in your ultimate ride feeling. Just like wheels, bushings are made of urethane. They have a huge impact on how your board feels to ride as well as the overall performance of the turn/carve.
Made in the USA from the highest quality urethane formula, there are 3 different hardnesses, ranging from 92a to 98a, so choose below the options according to the type of ride you're looking for.
The kit also comes with Riptide Pivot Cups, made from Riptide's exclusive internally lubricated WFB urethane formula, which results in a lively yet responsive ride and as they are self-lubricated, they are ninja quiet!
Pro Tip – Mixing the coloured bushing duro hardnesses can also dial in your ride even further from the stock kits. Just select the Bushing ‘Add on’ under the ‘Add to Cart’ button.

Options
Soft - 92A
This hardness is a good all rounder for riders who like the board to more responsive when turning / carving. Suited for the lighter weight riders 82kg or less and riders who like their trucks to be setup on the looser side.
Medium - 95A
This hardness is good for riders who like the board to a little more stable when turning / carving. Best Suited riders above 82kg or riders who like a little more stability in their truck setup.
Hard - 98A
This hardness is good for riders who like their board and trucks to feel more stable when riding fast with less turning capabilities at lower speeds. Best Suited riders above 85kg.
Contents
- 2 sets of bushings consisting of a top cone and barrel (so 4 sets per board).
- 4 x Riptide WFB Pivot Cups
Compatibility
- Compatible with all Evolve truck types – SuperCarve 1 & SuperCarve 2 trucks.
*Stock boards come with 95a black bushings. The Performance Bushings are a reflex formula (better quality), meaning they have a higher rebound rate than our standard bushings that are fitted to the stock boards.
*In each of our double kingpin trucks, there are 2 sets of bushings consisting of a top cone and barrel (so 4 sets per board).
Installation

I will say at the beginning of this that these bearings are quite expensive compared to others, but…. You can feel it when you’re riding… they’re much better. They don’t need as much maintenance. They’re just made better… This is the case where the old saying goes….. you get what you pay for.🙂
The evolve performance bushings definitely add alot more carvability then stock on my gtr carbon i put the medium 92 95a setup i weigh 170 and notice i have to have my kingpin nuts tighter then with the stock if were 2 rebuy wud get the 95 98 setup so cud ride my kingpin nuts looser if your 170 and on the fence go with the harder setup the material is a softer feeling urethane give them 4 stars just because i think the shapes and urethane formula riptide is using improves on these just slightly with the back trucks boardside bushing uses a feature like ud see on the orangatang knuckles but these are still very good bushings and wud recommend but riptide is also a great option a lil more expensive but love both setups and love my carbon gtr 2 so much plan get diablo in spring included picture with the shredlights sl fx+ just 4 fun 2
After upgrading the standard bushings to the performance its night and day with the results...... definitely recommended for that perfect carving!
Where are the riptide pivot cups??? All I got were stock Evolve pivot cups. That is so scummy and a ripoff. Don't buy from Evolve
Hey Daniel,
Thanks for your feedback, and we’re sorry about the mix-up. It sounds like you were expecting to receive Riptide pivot cups, but received stock pivot cups instead. That’s definitely not how it’s supposed to go.
Please reach out to our Customer Service team so we can correct this for you. We'll make sure you get the right items and sort everything out. Apologies again if this wasn’t communicated well.
Looking forward to getting this fixed for you.

An up grade on the standard bushings worth the out lay , cheers
Easy to install, made a big difference in having the stiffer bushings! I love my Hadean Carbon AT
I am a heavier rider at 220 and these bushings do what they are supposed to it is a definite upgrade that can be felt all positive vibes dudes !
YES THANKYOU. WoW I put the light set on my carbon GTR . THIS is next level of fun . Nice tight turns if you want and on the grass sick. I highly recommend these.
The Evolve Bushing kit is perfect for your changing ride. I’m 72 and have been riding for 9 months on a GTR Carbon. I use the 92A on the board side and the 95A on top. The colours are cool too. Evolve service is remarkable and shipping is fast.

Totally changes the way the board feels and rides - I changed the board side and roadside bushings - brilliant
A great product easy to use something that every board rider will need
My board need a little upkeep so I got a bushing kit to make my ride smoother and quiet.
Goodbye to the squeaks 😁
New ride feelings , More stable .
The upgraded bushings definitely have been a welcome boost to the board’s overall performance.
I didn't really like them, not to say they were bad just didn't have that carve ride feel I'm used to. I used them for a few days but ended up putting my old bushings back on. Also if anyone is wondering if they fit the propel pivot they don't the cone bushing is too small.
Hey Saxon, thanks for the honest feedback and 4-stars!
We're dismayed to hear the bushings your purchased weren't the feel you were after. I dare say you've already considered this but remember you can run two different grades of bushings on one truck to try and find a more preferable feel rather than running just one grade across both trucks.
Regarding the sizing, yes, as we've recently released the new SuperCarve2 Trucks, our bushings need to be resized to ensure they still fit perfectly so we've got new designed bushings on the way which will be available very soon!
Best regards

I was only provided 2 total pivot cups instead of 2 pair (4 total pivot cups).
Contacted customer service and they’re sending me the 2 pivot cups that I am owed.
If you want your board to feel the best carving you have ever felt in your life these are a must buy. Just make sure you buy the ones for your weight, you will be impressed.
Got a bushing kit and now I can turn around on the road. The board carves like it is on rails. GTR bamboo . It also climbs up the steep street by my house.
The product came in a sandwich bag
Packageing was just a sandwich bag
Changes the ride completely. Fully recommend switching to these bushings/pivot cups. Super smooth and carving is excellent.
I noticed a Bubble (chip) in one piece that of bushing and it would be cool if I could see what colors I’d be getting with the different firmness’, so I gave a four star instead of five. Yet I am still very satisfied I can replace my parts as needed. Way to go Evolve, and much love.
This is the best upgrade you can do to your board for just about the cheapest money as well. Highly recommend these bushings
Increases the fun, reduces the turning circle. Just dont tighten the nut past a thread or the top washer will damage the truck arm.
