Because the kingpin is inline with the axel, it is very close to the ground. Only buy these if you like riding big wheels. Other then that, they are a great truck. I am very happy with them.

If you are considering them then you most likely have the money to afford them. I looked at the other two ultra high end euro trucks and decided that I was happy with my other Bears so why not stay brand loyal. Great trucks!.

if you want really good turning at slow speeds (around town flat ground) get some khiro's At high speeds the trucks respond great and corning at high speeds is easy. there a great all around truck i'd suggest two bushing setups. 1 for around town good turning at flat land speed and 2 for down hill be it racing, practicing, or just for fun.

all i want to say is that i don't think the person who posted before me knows what he is talking about.

these trucks turn..
they turn a lot. they turn way quicker, way more than jimz and maguns.

and they aren't as stable. responsive is a better word. "solid/stable" describes jimz and magun trucks better.
