Independent Stage 11 Hollow Delfino Skateboard Trucks

Hollow Skateboard Trucks Built for Pro-Level Skating

The Independent Stage 11 Hollow Delfino trucks are Pedro Delfino's signature pro model built on Independent's proven Stage 11 geometry. They carry everything that makes standard Stage XI trucks the choice of professionals since 1978, then strip unnecessary weight through hollow construction without giving up a gram of durability. The result is one of the most capable hollow skateboard trucks on the market, suited to every style of skating from street to park to transition.

Hollow Construction: What It Means and Why It Matters

Hollow trucks vs standard trucks comes down to one engineering decision: the axle and kingpin are machined hollow rather than solid. Independent uses highest-quality hollow Chromoly steel for both components. Chromoly is a chromium-molybdenum alloy steel that delivers the impact resistance and flex characteristics skating demands, while the hollow bore removes material from the center where it contributes the least to strength. The net result is a truck that is 7% lighter than the equivalent Standard Stage XI without compromising the grind feel or lifespan riders expect from Independent.

Weight savings at the trucks translate directly to pop, flip speed, and reduced fatigue over a long session. Skaters who have ridden standard Indys and switched to hollow trucks consistently notice the difference underfoot within minutes of skating.

Pedro Delfino Pro Model Details

This is Pedro Delfino's pro model, identified by the Delfino pad print on the polished silver hanger and the anodized red baseplate. White cushions and black hardware complete the build. The colorway is a clean, distinctive combination that reads immediately as the Delfino pro truck rather than a generic colorway. The pad print graphics are applied directly to the hanger and hold up through normal skating use.

A356 T6 Aluminum Hanger and Baseplate

Both the hanger and baseplate are cast from A356 T6 aluminum, which Independent describes as the best lightweight aluminum alloy available for skateboard trucks. The T6 designation refers to a heat treatment process: the aluminum is solution heat-treated and then artificially aged to peak hardness. T6 treatment significantly increases tensile strength and yield strength compared to untreated aluminum of the same alloy, which is why Independent uses it for components that absorb repeated impact and grinding forces. The result is a hanger and baseplate that grind smoothly, resist deformation under hard landings, and last through years of skating.

Stage 11 Geometry: 55mm Height, Optimal Clearance

Stage 11 trucks sit at 55mm tall, which Independent has tuned to deliver optimal performance and wheel clearance for wheels 56mm and under. At this height, the board sits close enough to the ground for confident flip tricks and manual control while maintaining enough clearance to run modern wheel diameters without wheel bite. The Stage 11 height is the most widely ridden Independent geometry among professional skateboarders for exactly this balance.

6-Hole Universal Baseplate (159 Model)

The 159 model is built with a 6-hole universal baseplate that accepts both old-school and new-school mounting patterns. This matters for skaters running wider decks or custom setups that use non-standard hole spacing. All other models use the standard new-school 4-hole pattern.

Sold as a Pair

All Independent skateboard trucks are sold as single items. One pair of trucks equals 2 units. Selecting one item at checkout delivers the complete front and rear truck set needed to build or refresh a complete skateboard setup.

Guaranteed for Life

Independent backs every truck with a lifetime guarantee. Built to Grind is not a marketing phrase; it reflects the engineering standard Independent has held since 1978 when the brand became the first choice of professional skateboarders. The Delfino Stage 11 Hollow inherits that same warranty and that same standard.
