Which longboard trucks are right for me?
When choosing the perfect truck for your longboard setup you really need to be able to identify style of riding you will be doing and match your trucks to that style.
First off let's look at our options:
Ultralight 8mm - 48º - 180mm - RKP Trucks
Still sporting all the signature Atlas features - a machined ball pivot, tapered kingpin, built-in speed rings - the Atlas Ultralight trucks are the best value on the market at only $49.95. The Ultralight features an 8mm axle through the hanger and eliminates additional aluminum making it 20% lighter than the original Atlas. With a cone bushing board side matched with a cone bushing roadside this truck was created to be perfect for cruising, carving and freeriding.
