The older ones are fantastic, the newer ones are a little more restrictive, which some people like. I personally like to have a ton of slop and lean so I can throw 'em around wherever. I'm running mine with 90a eliminators boardside, and 83a reflex barrels roadside (PERFECT). The reason I rated it 7 in push is because they pretty much have no defined center point, so your ankle is wobbling all over the place while you push haha.

Final point; I've been riding these trucks for 3 and a half years, and I will never look back.

Well, the hangers aren't all that bad. The angle is nice for freeriding as well. The bushing seats are nicer than most cast trucks, but the bushings and baseplates are absolutely horrible. The bushings are just terrible. They feel is awful. They're mushy, not really any rebound, and such an odd feeling durometer. Not quite hard enough for downhilling, but shaped horribly for freeriding.

Aside from that the baseplates have ribbed sections for the kingpins to fit into so they dont move. The kingpins are shit, and if you replace them, those ribbed sections make so that new kingpins wiggle around like mad, and have super duper slop. Baseplate break as well.

All the baseplate issues were resolved with the newer model.

pretty stable!

i personally found these trucks very disappointing. i rode these trucks with the bushing they came with out of the box and found they did not carve well at all and i had them as loose as the would go. I tried bombing on them and as soon as i hit 30 i would get wobbles. I dont get wobbles with my paris 180s at over 35 so its not cause im not good enough. Also sliding on these trucks felt very unnatural compared to paris or randals which is no good

So i suggest getting randals for bombing and paris for carving

The trucks excel everywhere nice turn get them.
