Just for reference:
I rode Bear 1052/40s before these.
I weigh 160lbs

Top bushing: white JimZ stim
Bottom Bushing: stock Tracker (amber)
Hangers Flipped
Topmounted (2008 Avenger)


Going from Bear 1052/40s to these was like night and day. The trackers were an incredible improvement. However, like most trucks, these don't truly shine until you play around with the bushings. I found keeping the stock tracker on the bottom kept great progression in the turn, while the JimZ stip really amped up the rebound and feel of them.

When I first got them, I rode them dropped through on a Fullbag Speedcarver. Due to the shape of the hangers, they had to be run unflipped, which worked better for the drop mount deck anyway. As soon as I switched to the Avenger I flipped the hangers. This lowered the ride hight a bit, and gave the trucks a bit more lean.

These trucks are great for everything I've thrown at them. I only ride one setup, so I need them to handle all kinds of situations. They carve, pump, slide, and bomb.

I found that the big bushing seats were really nice for my bushing setup, but they may be less comparable with smaller sized bushings (cones etc.). For barrels, stepped, or the stock tracker bushings, they should be good. You get a progressive feel and good rebound. They're nice and carvy, but stable at speed. I've used these trucks for dodging people cruising on sidewalks, and for breaking 90 km/h. SOLID.

I really like the lean on these trucks, especially with the hangers flipped.

Complaints? I only have two really minor ones:
-the cast is pretty sloppy, you don't have a nice smooth finish like you would on a Paris truck or something, but that doesn't really matter
-the pivot cups have worn out really quickly for me, I went through two sets in a about 20 sessions. They're cheap and easy to replace though

I would highly recommend these as a cast truck for pretty much any application, especially if you're into downhill/freeriding. I'll just remind you though that I only had extensive experience on Bear Grizzlies (old model) prior to these trucks, so I can't say how they would compare to Crail/Randel/Paris etc. What I can say, is that they've been great trucks for me and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

Feel free to send me a message if you have any specific questions!

The bushing seat was a bit big, and it was hard to use normal bushings with them. Elims and JimZ's are good with them, but those are more expensive bushings. They are also pretty heavy, and tall. If all you want to do is carve and stuff, get these, theyre pretty fun for that kind of stuff

My first pair of trucks. These trucks are very good for the price. They are strong and with a good bushing set-up carve like butter, or with a harder set-up and a flipped hanger act as a descent downhill truck.They are easy maintenance and I have never had a single problem with them.
