Caliber trucks


Caliber trucks which, if you've heard of gun metals or magnums are their predecessors. Although they are a touch bit heavier than other competing trucks they're amazingly durable and if you're tough on trucks these are about as sturdy as it gets. I've also toyed around with them on a kicktailed board and they're grind able without tearing up your kingpin and wear nice and slow. Also, they have 3 or 4 colors and are reversible which makes it so there's no rake meaning downhill will be a breeze but it could make cornering more challenging.

I love mine so far, in fact I have a 50 degree set for cruising around, slower speed freeride and things of the sort, but when it's time to hit up the hills I throw on my 44's and the stability you get from these things are unbelievable. The bushing seats are symmetrical for whatever bushing setup you intend to use, and are highly versatile and the pivot is self contained and Caliber has made it their goal to keep their trucks as close to precision as possible to make sure there's no slipping, wobbly, or loose parts.
