If you want to surf asphalt, this is your truck.

Equipment Reviews

How long have you ridden them?: A few months
What Setup are you running them on?: 38" old school fish shaped board with C7 up front and C2 in the back. Had to put in 3/4" risers to avoid wheelbite because the front truck turns so hard. 76mm Abec 11 Gumballs.
Typical Discepline?: Carving hills, pumping flats, cruising
How much did you pay for them?: $57 for the C7
Where did you buy them?: Amazon.com
What are their weaknesses?: Clearly not stable enough to use for any serious downhill speeds, but then that is not what they are designed for. Considering the design, they are more stable than I expected.
What are their strengths?: Amazingly tight turning radius. Super loose front allows surf-style slashbacks. So easy to pump it seems like cheating.
What similar equipment have you ridden?: The only thing similar is the truck put out by Thruster USA, but the C7 is a much better truck.
Would you recommend them?: Yes

Was this review helpful to you? yes

The first time I rode these trucks, I could feel the ocean breeze. Absolutely incredible. Brings back the stoke of surfing.

Equipment Reviews

How long have you ridden them?: all day today
What Setup are you running them on?: Carver green room c7 stock everything..
Typical Discepline?: carving, crusing
How much did you pay for them?: the whole board was $160 shipped
Where did you buy them?: gonbot.com
What are their weaknesses?: you can't stop riding them. The rest of your life will disappear
What are their strengths?: They turn like nothing else. If you have ever wanted to surf the pavement, get these trucks. You will not be disappointed. The c7/c2 combination works amazingly and you throw your turns off your back truck just like a surfboard. The most fun I've ever had on 4 wheels.
Would you recommend them?: Yes

Get 'em. They're more than worth what you'll pay for 'em.

Equipment Reviews

How long have you ridden them?: A few serious sessions
What Setup are you running them on?: I'm running them on a S9 Carbon Trylam with 70mm 78a Dano's Downhill and abec 7 bearings
Typical Discepline?: cruising, carving, a little downhill
How much did you pay for them?: 70
Where did you buy them?: Daddie's Boardshop
What are their weaknesses?: Initially, they're so different than anything you've ridden that you're not sure what to do with 'em. Ride 'em for more than an hour or two and that's gone
What are their strengths?: These turn harder than you can. They're increadibly agile, and go rail to rail really smooth. They're way more stable than you think they'd be. All in all, just a great set up.
What similar equipment have you ridden?: Nothin really. Maybe a surfboard.
Would you recommend them?: Yes
