Awesome awesome awesome trucks. Randal compatible with replaceable length axles make these very versatile. The spherical bearing in the hanger makes these extremely responsive and agile. Probably the fastest turning and most responsive downhill truck you will ride while still very stable. Rattle like hell though. Reaming corners will get that off your mind though.

If you are in the market for downhill trucks, this is it. You might have heard the baseplates are tall. This is true. But they are so precise, and so fantastically put together it wont matter. You may have heard the bushing seat is pretty restrictive. It is. It also makes these things insanely stable. You may have heard that there are spherical bearings in the hangers. This is true. And it makes these things so responsive you will terrorize anything else in your path on the way down the hill. These are so well designed, it very well might make you give up you gear whoring ways.

Do it.
