Independent Stage 11 Hollow Silver Barcode Trucks
This is the Independent Trucks Grant Taylor Pro Stage 11 Hollow, built around a polished silver hanger with GT pad prints front and back and a laser etched logo on the rear kingpin housing, often referred to by riders as the barcode graphic. A flat black powder coated baseplate, classic orange cushions, and silver hardware round out the look, all sitting on Independent's proven hollow platform.
Construction and Materials
- Hanger and baseplate machined from A356 T6 aluminum, heat treated to T6 condition for strength, durability, and grind feel
- Hollow chromoly steel axle and kingpin, chosen for high quality durability with a meaningful weight saving over a solid axle
- 7 percent lighter overall than a standard Stage XI truck
- 55mm tall, sized for optimal wheel clearance with wheels 56mm and under
- Polished silver hanger finish with GT pad prints and a laser etched rear kingpin housing logo
- Flat black powder coated baseplate and silver hardware
Who This Truck Is For
Independent built this as a durable all purpose truck suited to any type of skateboarding, from street to park to general cruising. The hollow axle and kingpin shave weight for riders who want a more responsive setup without giving up the durability Independent trucks are known for, and the 55mm height keeps clearance in check for anyone running wheels up to 56mm.
Setup and Wheel Clearance
Because this truck sits at 55mm, it is built to pair with wheels 56mm and under for proper clearance during turns and grinds. Riders assembling a new deck should check their wheel diameter against that limit before mounting, and expect a normal break-in period as the kingpin and bushings settle to a rider's preferred tightness.
The Independent and Grant Taylor Name
Independent Trucks has been the number one choice of professional skateboarders since 1978, and this colorway is built around pro rider Grant Taylor's signature graphics, giving it a distinct look on top of Independent's standard hollow construction.
