Abec 11 Trucks???

[wilder]

is that ever gonna happen? i seem to remember chris mentioning something about making trucks in another thread some time ago. i did a search but didnt find anything.

so, what about it? we need some more north american DH truck choices.

here's the site, but it doesn't have much info:

http://liquidtrucks.com/

maybe u can email them or something. i'm kinda interested too.

i emailed them earlier this year...

"We hope to have Liquid Trucks available by the end of the year."


i'm saving all my money for liquid and bennett truks... and both are making me wait too long, with so many other tempting things to buy.

if you take the image directory of that site into consideration then they could look like this

Interesting bushing concept on the speed truck. Much urethane depth - but only where you would need it.

The mounting holes seams a bit crazy though. are they trying to create a new standard, or are they for tuning purposes?

[EBasil]

The versions Chaput's been riding in public look much more like the lower photo, above, than the "classic" truck shown above that. Different, though...

Yeah, the longboard versions use big, big bushings. The slalom trucks he was running don't, though.

DIDO!

so is Liquid Trucks a subsidary of Abec 11?

[RustyBurrito55]

Yes it is.

[CRASS]

Those bushing hanger combos on the speed trucks look SAHWEET!! So logical.. so bad..

Or is it more like both Abec11 and liquid trucks being subsidaries of sk8trip?

Have you guys ever thought of a brand name that covers all theese products (including biltin and big red x)?

It would make it a lot easier for the consumers.

I vote for "Grab A$$ Skate Gear".

Move trucks without drilling new holes.

deffinetly a rough cut

I dont think it's as big as it looks. I'd be willing to wager the actual pivot is much smaller than the bottom of the hanger as we can see it.

I dont think theyre liquids...

Those are some trucks he put on a luge, and they swivel on a pin thing, so that when there are bumps in the road they both keep traction...
I think....

[EBasil]

That's right: those are a pair of unique luge trucks. They're on one rigid baseplate that pivots itself, so both axles/wheelsets stay in contact/traction with the road over undulating terrain. Chris brought those out to a class I teach and they must have cost a MINT.

The Liquid prototypes use much more standard baseplates, as anyone that comes out to ride at Pump Station can tell you...Chaput let a lot of people try the protos out in January.

[skine]

sweet, so to those who know, or can guess, are liquid trucks going to be closer to randal or jimz? in the sense of availablity, cost and casting.

[Pepperoniquesadilla]

does anybody know about a realease date and/or pricing???

[HerBDerb]

I think I remember CC saying the Abec11 bushings wont be availible seperatly from Liquids, but what if you need replacements, or softer or harder bushings due to your weight?
