Best truck I've ever ridden on. If you buy them, upgrade to Venoms. It's worth it. They are unbelievably stable, yet the can carve like a mofo, even when flipped at 47*.
Equipment Reviews
How long have you ridden them?: 8 months
What Setup are you running them on?: Rayne Avenger
77mm Speed Vents
Oust Moc 9 Airrs

Typical Discepline?: Downhill
How much did you pay for them?: 50
Where did you buy them?: thelongboardstore.com
What are their weaknesses?: I didn't really like the stock Khiros because they were too dead feeling, but they were still amazing. But once I put in double barrel venoms, I realized that they were godly.
What are their strengths?: VERY stable. Even when not flipped at 52* I took them to 40 mph with no problems.
What similar equipment have you ridden?: Randals
Would you recommend them?: Yes

Great Wheels. Great price. Beat my Seismic Speed Vents AND Blast Waves by a mile in almost everything I can think of. These are a must buy wheel.
Equipment Reviews
How long have you ridden them?: A week
What Setup are you running them on?: Rayne Avenger
Bear 852's w/ Venom 90a Double Barrels

Typical Discepline?: DH and Carving
How much did you pay for them?: $50
Where did you buy them?: Longboardskater.com
What are their weaknesses?: I have not slid on them yet, but from what I hear they're not the BEST wheel for sliding...
What are their strengths?: THEY'RE SO FAST. They are noticeably faster than my Seismic Speed Vents in 77mm AND are $15 less. I will never buy another wheel for downhill. They are orgasmically grippy too. I can feel them gripping to the road. I now have every idea why there is so much talk about about this wheel.

Great trucks. Excellent price. From now on, there is no other truck under $50 that I will buy.
Equipment Reviews
How long have you ridden them?: 4 months
What Setup are you running them on?: A 60" cruiser w/ Seismic Blast Waves 79a and Garver Ceramics
Typical Discepline?: carving and cruising
How much did you pay for them?: $40
Where did you buy them?: longboardskater.com
What are their weaknesses?: The only weakness I can think of is that their yellow stock bushings are not great quality. I see that Randal has updated their bushings to the translucent red ones, which are supposed to be much better, so...problem solved.
What are their strengths?: Great carving trucks, very stable, make quick turns and very fun to ride.
What similar equipment have you ridden?: Gullwing Chargers and Bear Grizzly 852's
Would you recommend them?: Yes

If you like to carve, or need a source of transportation that doesn't cost a fortune to run on gas, buy this board. It will literally pay for itself overtime if you commute to places with it.
