Independent Stage 11 Truck
Best lightweight trucks for skaters seeking durability and reduced board weight.
These trucks shed significant weight without sacrificing the legendary durability needed for heavy street skating. By swapping standard hardware for hollow axles and forged aluminum, you get a noticeably snappier setup that feels effortless on flip tricks, though you might notice a slightly different grind feel compared to the classic solid construction.
