DESCRIPTION
RipTide is one of the best boutique longboard bushing specialists on the market and all their products are produced in the USA. We are proud to be offering these to enhance the ride performance on our Evolve boards.
These Pivot cups are insane! They are 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! RipTide Pivot Cups & Tubes are the result of two years of beta testing in every possible condition that Colorado's high country can deliver.

Silky Smooth,silent sound barrier
Comfortable feel... in comparison to the standard pivot cups the difference is very noticeable
Feels firmer, better response without fllopping about
Good product thank you
Everyone raves about the riptide pivot cups and I can see why. Great quality and great fit for the evolve trucks
Super smooth and silent. Highly recommended
Enjoyed a nicer ride with the upgraded pivot cups. Nice turn with a good carve feel
evolve customer service is garbage; been almost a month and still havent gotten my order
Hi Alex, I'm sorry to hear about this, I can see that your order was shipped the day after you ordered it. I will get your local team to follow up with USPS to see what's going on with it.
Awesome, Caron power, but also more stability of the same time
smooth ride ,
Nothing bad can be said. Quality material.
These are definitely worth getting.
Durable and easy to install.
Brought these recently and carried out the changeover on my board along with Street Conversion Kit, Ride is as smooth as butter.
Easy install and noticeable difference in board feel
Evolve service department is top notch. They add so much value to owning the product, extremely satisfied!
Gotta be better than old worn out one,s . They don't like 6000kms 🤣
These really make a difference to the ride I think. I installed them at the same time as upgrading the other bushings and it made a big difference to the ride. I would have given them a 5 star but the price is ridiculously expensive. They aren't even packaged, they just come in a zip lock bag with no label. I reckon Evolve have a big box of these things. They would cost .30 cents each to make.
Hi Glenn,
Thanks for your honest feedback. We are always looking for ways to improve and appreciate our customers sharing their thoughts with us.
However, remember never judge a book by its cover. It's not always about whats on the outside that matters :)

Evolve HQ
Completely changed the ride great investment!
The pivot cups are worth it compared to the standard they are way less maintenance
Hi Doug,
Thank you very much for taking the time to write a review about the Riptide Pivot Cups. We are so pleased to hear they have provided you with a good experience and require less maintenance for you as that means more time out on the board! 😜

Put these on my Stoke along with upgraded bushings. Made ride smoother over rough patches of path, etc. Takes the edge of the jarring. Also has a better feel for carving.
Works way better than standard cups, much smoother and self lube!
Great little product that does what it says on the tin. Be interested to see how they go long term however all reviews I’ve read are positive
Super high quality and perfect fitment
I could tell any difference from factory bushes
These are great! After having the board for about 5 months without service I found my board squeeked everytime I stepped on it so I decided to get some of these pivot cups... They're great super quiet and gives for smooth turning... Now I just need another two and my board will soon be newly pivot cupped.
Certainly makes a difference. Board no longer sounds like an old floorboard, so these do do exactly what they claim. However it does beg the question as to why a £1500 skateboard doesn't come with decent pivot cups as standard? It's gonna take a while to get over the sting of paying £28 plus £8 postage for what is essentially 4 tiny bits of plastic which should have been posted for the price of a stamp. Ouch!
Do yourself a favour and buy these for your board. They are so worth the squeak-free ride.
I had heard about the riptide cups and so decided after 2 months of having my board to give them a try. What a difference! Smooth and far more responsive even on the stock bushings. Which by the way have all been changed. Love my Evolve!
Reasonable price and better than stock evolve pivot cups
Only ordered 1 set. Still need to order another set. Everything is double on double kingpin trucks!
You'd never think two little pieces of urethane would change how your truck feels so much. Love it and would recommend it.
