Build and Materials
These trucks stand 55mm tall for optimal performance and wheel clearance with wheels 56mm and under. The hanger and baseplate are made from A356 T6 aluminum, described as the best lightweight aluminum alloy heat treated to T6 condition for strength, durability, and grind feel. The axle is SCM435 chromoly steel, and the kingpin is Grade 8, built to never break or bend. The baseplate has a 4 hole pattern, the truck axle measures 7.60 inches, and total truck weight is 367 grams with a standard truck profile and 90a cushion hardness.

Who It's For
These trucks work as an all purpose setup for any type of skateboarding, from cruising South Florida sidewalks to skating the local park. The 55mm height and standard profile make them a straightforward choice for riders running wheels in the 56mm and under range, and the Built to Grind design is aimed at riders who grind ledges and rails regularly.
Setup and Care
Check kingpin nut tightness periodically since it affects turning response, and inspect the bushings and cushions for wear since the 90a hardness cushions are the part that will break in and soften first with regular riding. Keeping hardware tight also helps preserve the polished baseplate finish.
