dave: The trucks SICK. The guy that came up with these is the man. I have these on a 44" Fibreflex pintail with some Exkate Cherry bombs and I love them. I have a huge quiver of new and vintage boards and I always put this one in the truck. I have been riding for over 20 years, these by far are the smoothest riding and tightest turning trucks around. People that complain about these trucks can't ride.

Great turning trucks, Friday, 02 February 2007

Written by guest - View all my reviews - #1 Reviewer

I purchased a pair of Exkate 201's and mounted them on a Tahoe Tallac 62. I bought them with the red bushings. My impression of these trucks is they turn better then I thought they would on a deck this size (60"). So far I am very happy with how they feel. I weigh around 175 and they seem to be fairly stable but have a very smooth carve. With the red bushings they seem to be reponsive but not too sloppy.

yannick: excuse my bad english i'm a french canadian the exkate trucks are very good at slow speed and it's curve very well but at high speed i have a strange vibration on my board JeffO: I had these trucks on a flexdex forty one V and they gave me wheel bite and my wheels were less than 70mm. i think the metal that stops the trucks frop getting wheel bite wore away somehow and i havent even had the trucks for over a year. so i put them on a board with wheel cut outs and it works out ok. but i dont think i will buy another pair. Tom: I love these trucks, I'm getting my second pair this week. If you're one of those people who have stayed on randals your whole life, try these out, you'll see what I mean. Tom: Cancel that review, the rest of my board was flipping out, not my exkates. Tom: Ok, bad news. I skated switch going downhill for the first time today, and I now suffer from a near broken tailbone and a scraped to #### arm. This was mostly my fault, but my exkates did wobble and I wasn't even going that fast. I still love them, and I've gone 40 with no problems (and still will), just keep that in mind. Jim: Exkate 201 are some the best trucks on the market. They turn a good amount tighter than the Randels. If you like very sharp turning trucks that are very very stable for cruising, Bombing, for fooling theses are one of the best out. Tom: I just my first pair of these today, I bombed some hills I just wouldn't do before. Tight turning, no wobble, randal has competition! Gaylon: My SpinDog board (44.5") came with them. I love them. Much more turny than standard trucks, but still stable. FUN in a park. Luke: i have a pair of these on my 4 year old fish, they take any downhill and NEVER wobble. These are very tight at turning, only downfall is that if you like sensitive turning these are not for you. Jim: The Exkate trucks do a great job on my 44" Fibreflex longboard. I just couldn't believe what a tight turn you can do on these trucks. For someone who last rode skateboards in the seventies, these trucks are very sweet! tim: exkate 101, carving or slalom ,downhill a no-no unless you have stiff bushings. you can pull insane turns on these trucks,they seem sketchy as f**k at first ,but it is worth getting used to them. I love 'em .
