Bones Hardcore Bushings, Hard
Skaters looking to fine-tune how their trucks turn often start with the bushings, and the Bones Hardcore Bushings in a hard durometer are built for riders who want a firmer, more stable feel underfoot. Swapping bushings is one of the simplest ways to change how a board carves and responds without replacing an entire truck.
Made By Bones Wheels
All Bones Wheels formulas, including these bushings, are developed and produced in the brand's own manufacturing plant in Santa Barbara, California. Bones engineers distinct urethane formulas with different physical and engineering properties for each application in skateboarding, rather than using one generic compound across every product.
Who These Bushings Are For
A hard bushing is generally chosen by riders who prioritize stability at speed or carry more weight, since a firmer bushing resists compression and keeps the truck from feeling too loose. Skaters who want a tighter, more controlled turn, or who are dialing in a setup for downhill or cruising at higher speeds, are the ones most likely to reach for a hard bushing over a softer option.
- Installed inside the truck's kingpin assembly, between the baseplate and hanger
- Works with the truck's existing kingpin nut to set turning tension
- A firmer feel compared to softer bushing durometers
Fitting And Care
Bushings are installed by removing the kingpin nut, swapping the old bushings for the new set, and retightening to the rider's preferred tension. Because turning feel is also affected by how tight the kingpin nut is set, riders should test the truck at a few tension levels once the new bushings are in to find the right balance of stability and turn.
