RipTide Reactor Skate Cushions are a full set of replacement cushions for PowerDyne Reactor Fuse, Neo, and Pro Plates, as well as RD Elite Pro Octane and Axis 45 Plates. Each set includes four 0.50" step cones, four 0.55" barrels, and four washers with large inner diameters that fit over flared kingpins. RipTide offers two different formulas with a range of durometers, called "APS" and "Krank". Check out the chart below for a quick reference guide on which one might be best for you, or try both!

 

RIPTIDE FORMULAS EXPLAINED
APS
The APS formula is described as having a lively and responsive feel because of its high-rebound characteristics. APS is RipTide's most popular formula and great for derby jammers and dual-positional players, outdoor skaters, and anyone new to roller skating or new to changing cushions. RipTide recommends 75A-80A as a starting point for most skaters.
KRANK
The Krank formula is RipTide's hardest cushion formula and provides a solid base with strong edge support to give skaters precise control over their skates. RipTide recommends Krank for aggressive skating styles and disciplines like derby blockers, park skaters, and speed skaters, with 84A being the recommended starting hardness for most skaters.
