Best Skateboard Bushings of 2025

"I've been using Bones bearings for 16 years, and these bushings were a breeze to install—no washers needed! They have a unique rubbery squeal during break-in, but I trust Bones for their flexibility and quality. I'll definitely be ordering more!"

"These bushings worked wonderfully for my son, who skates daily. He mentioned they provided him with a great turn and were perfect for tricks. He's very happy with the quality!"

"I initially ordered the soft bushings, thinking they'd suit me, but they were too loose. However, the mediums were just right for my weight and preference. The durometer ratings helped a lot in choosing the right fit!"

“I’ve skated a lot in my past, and now that I weigh significantly more, I faced issues with wheel bite. After switching to these bushings, my board feels smooth and responsive again, and I can perform tricks without hassle. I recommend these for anyone weighing over 200 pounds. They’re the best!”

“As someone who just started skating, I needed bushings that could handle my weight and provide a tight feel. After replacing the stock Indy bushings with these, the difference was noticeable and impressive. I even ordered a second set to have on hand!”

“When I replaced my stock bushings with Bones, I found that they rebound perfectly after turns and provide a smooth compression. I did have a minor issue with installation, as it can be tricky to tighten the kingpin nut, but overall, I highly recommend these bushings!”

"I bought these for my stepkid's old board and a new deck. The trucks were great, but the bushings looked a little questionable. Installation was simple and fit perfectly. They might be a bit soft, but my son is only 9, so it doesn't affect him much. As an adult weighing 185 lbs, I could tighten them pretty well, but they were still easy to flex while turning."

"After digging out an old skateboard that had been unused for 20 years, I replaced the worn-out hardware and tuned the trucks. I gifted the refurbished board to our neighbor's boys. It was a joy to see the board used by new young riders. The installation was direct bolt-on and everything needed was included. Plus, it was available in multiple colors!"

"I purchased these bushings since my son's skateboard lost a nut, causing half the bushings to fall off. There were no directions included, but we figured it out by disassembling the other truck. We're not experts, but they fit nicely on the kingpin, tightened well, and the kids took the board outside with no complaints!"

"I’m under 100 lbs, and these bushings are the ticket to a better feeling and turning board. Definitely a good upgrade!"

"I bought these and initially disliked them, but that was on me. I chose the wrong durometer. Once I switched to medium (91D), they were perfection! The seller was quick and the product was genuine and as described."

"I found these bushings to be nice and squishy for my board. However, they did make the board touch the wheels, but overall, they are really good!"

"I bought a Surfskate and used the original bushings for a while, but at 247 lbs, I wanted something better. After ordering these, my skate felt instantly smoother and more plush. An inexpensive way to enhance my ride!"

"I prefer my bushings to be very hard, and these definitely delivered! At 260 lbs, I find the hard ones are the best for bigger guys. Skate or die! Cowabunga awesome radical!"

"These bushings have become my go-to choice. I’ve installed them on three boards now, and they feel great. I'm 212 lbs and prefer a tighter ride, and these really fit the bill."

"After not skating for a decade, I was surprised to find my new trucks still felt gummy. Swapping the stock bushings for these Bones Hardcore bushings transformed my experience. Just a few adjustments to the kingpin made a huge difference in stiffness, and I even found they improved my board's stability!"

"I added these bushings to my custom e-skate with double kingpin trucks. By mixing medium and hard Bones bushings, I felt like I had given my board a major upgrade! I can ride at 50 km/h without worrying about speed wobbles, and turning has never been easier."

"Initially, I thought I needed harder bushings for my Independent trucks, but these didn't meet my expectations. They creaked and felt off. However, after a couple of weeks, I realized that while the Bones bushings still creak a bit, they remain stable and don’t get stuck, which is a plus!"

"I’m 193lbs, and these bushings prevent wheel bite perfectly. I recommend them for anyone looking to skate!"

"After watching a review on the roller derby deluxe skateboard, I decided to buy these bushings. They look great on my blue board and seem to work perfectly!"

"I replaced my daughter’s Kryptonic board bushings, and it was a perfect fit. Now, her board tracks straight and she’s really proud of her work!"

"Since I installed these bushings, skateboarding is so much more enjoyable for me."

"I keep these bushings handy for anyone needing a quick fix. They're durable and versatile, perfect for experimenting with different setups. I usually ride Bones hardcore, but these allow me to easily adjust my board's feel, whether I want it tighter or looser. It's a relief to share them without feeling like I'm losing out."

"As a beginner in longboarding, I was unsure about which bushings to choose. This kit has been a game-changer for me, allowing me to find my ideal setup while still having the flexibility to change hardness levels. I'm excited to see how my preferences evolve!"

"I love having this full set of bushings. It helps me to really fine-tune my ride. So far, I'm enjoying the black bushings in the rear for stability and a mix of yellow and white in the front for better control. After researching extensively, I feel confident recommending these as a fantastic purchase!"
