Riptide Bushing Adapter
The EVO MK-1 now includes the Riptide Bushing Adapter, so there’s no need to purchase it separately.
The Upper Bushing Stopper is not included as a standard component, but it may be needed when using Riptide or other split bushings. Split bushings allow for quicker swaps, but the bushings or adapters may come loose during riding. This is why we offer the Upper Bushing Stopper as an additional accessory.
The stock EVO MK-1 bushings feature an integrated, one-piece design to help keep everything securely in place during riding.
The price covers two sets. One set is required per truck, so two sets are needed for the EVO MK-1. Bushings must be purchased separately from Riptide.

NOTE
LINNPOWER designed the integrated bushing for EVO MK-1 NEXT MT channel truck because separate bushings may pop out during hard carving on channel trucks. However, some riders prefer separate bushings for their ease of replacement and the wide variety of available durometers. To accommodate both preferences, we offer the Riptide Bushing Adapter and the Upper Bushing Stopper for our NEXT MT Truck, providing added security while allowing flexibility in bushing choice.
EVO MK-1 NEXT MT Truck: Riptide Bushing Adapter
This adapter allows your EVO MK-1 to be compatible with the top-tier bushing brand Riptide, specifically manufactured for Lacroix. With this adapter, you will have access to premium bushings and more options to fine-tune your setup.
EVO MK-1 NEXT MT Truck: Upper Bushing Stopper
Enhance the safety and stability of your Linnpower NEXT MT trucks with the Upper Bushing Stopper. Designed for riders who prefer softer separate bushings or more “carvy” street performance, this upper stopper helps keep the riptide separate bushings securely in place, especially during sharp turns or heavy carving.
Purpose: Designed to reduce the chance of soft Riptide bushings popping out during sharp turns or heavy carving, while maintaining most of the bushing’s natural flex.
Design: Provides support while preserving most of the bushing’s natural flex.
Usage: Optional—if your bushings remain secure during normal riding, this part may not be necessary. Adding it may slightly reduce bushing movement and change the feel of your ride.
Compatibility: Perfect for Linnpower NEXT MT trucks.
Even though channel trucks are inherently stable, the bushing stopper adds an extra layer of security for riders experimenting with softer separate bushings, without compromising overall truck performance.
