Ace Trucks AF1 Hollow
The Ace AF1 Hollow Truck brings Ace's original geometry into a new build with hollow axles and kingpins, giving skaters a lighter feeling truck without straying from the turning feel Ace riders already trust. It is manufactured through Ace's proprietary casting process, years in development, resulting in a 70 percent increase in the aluminum's structural integrity over prior builds, which Ace calls the strongest cast truck on the market.
Construction and Materials
- Hollow axles and kingpins
- Manufactured with superior quality AA 356.2 alloy using Ace's own proprietary casting method
- True T6 heat-treated baseplates and hangers
- SAE 4140 steel alloy axles, oversized to eliminate bearing wobble
- Patent pending rethreading axle nuts so damaged axle ends are no longer an issue
- Durable hand-poured 96a urethane pivot bushings for a smooth response
- Refined bushing and cup washer shapes for a cleaner turn
- Machine-faced hanger ends for precise bearing contact
Ace also updated sizing across the 44 through 77 models for a better fit across multiple board widths, so riders can match the truck size to their exact deck rather than approximating.
Who These Trucks Are For
The AF1 Hollow is manufactured specifically for precision turning, easy flow, and smooth grinding, making it a strong pick for skaters who spend real time on transitions, rails, and technical terrain and want a truck built to hold up to that use rather than a generic replacement part.
Setup and Care
Getting the size right matters most with any truck swap, since Ace resized the 44 through 77 lineup specifically to match different board widths. The oversized SAE 4140 steel axles are built to eliminate bearing wobble, so seating bearings correctly during install helps you get the full benefit of that engineering. The patent pending rethreading axle nuts mean a stripped axle end is not the setback it used to be.
About Ace Trucks
Ace Trucks built its reputation on a distinct truck geometry, and the AF1 line represents years of development aimed at making that geometry stronger through a proprietary casting process, without changing the ride feel riders already know.
