You get what you pay for!,  Wednesday, 17 September 2008 I give it 5 almost in all aspects. The only reason why I could not give it 5 in stability is that I am not sure I want a "turny" truck when I'm careening downhill at speeds around 30mph. Imagine yourself doing 25mph and suddenly there is a pebble on the road big enough to hit your very low kingpin, you shift your weight to the side to avoid it and bam! you loose control because the board turns so easily even with small movements.
My expectation in a downhill truck is something that can't turn at speeds below 20mph. I also had to adjust the tightness of the kingpin from it's factory setting, I found it too loose. Maybe the white bushing that came with it is too soft, maybe I should try the black bushings.
But because of it's "turny" attribute, this makes my DH board more versatile. And I get peace of mind knowing that I can bring just one board that carves sweet as honey, easy on the legs for long distance cruising, and able to provide stability when bombing hills.
If you can afford it, buy it!
