20 Best Longboard Trucks For Cruising (2023 Updated)

The most authentic surfy carvy trucks ever just got a splash of added cool factor in these hot new color offerings ! These trucks hands down are the best cruising trucks out there. Bennetts come in a close second, however that added rebound from the dual kingpin design in the Sidewinder turns any pavement into your own personal ultimate wave.

Great product. Great price. Wicked cool color. Gull Wing has been an innovator, and continues to be so. If you want to cruise, you cant loose with these trucks.

The double layer design with 2 bushings per truck makes for the smoothest ride imaginable. Sidewinder is the perfect name; gliding side to side, making silky S-shaped curves. These are not for carving, these are for surfing the street.

Gullwing Sidewinder ii trucks are a great product and with great value. I have them on most of my skateboards and longboards: old school, drop through, drop down.

They are great trucks. They have great clearance and they fit the perfectly on my 36 inch cruiser running 70 mm wheels with no wheel Vite whatsoever. Great piece. However they came with a few scratches that looked like they came from factory.

Very nice trucks! Well made and delivery was fast and efficient. One minor gripe – the packaging was however very oversized and loose, so everything was rattling around inside! This could have lead to damage in transit but luckily not the case on this occasion.

I have used this truck for freestyle/dance for four seasons. The turnability, durability and predictability of this truck is amazing. I love the colors and the design too. Thank you Caliber!

We got a set of these to set up some extra decks. Surprisingly good truck for tech skating. They are lower and lighter then krux k5 or indy regs but they aren’t going to grind or turn as good. Stock bushing are junk but that’s normal.

These offer all of the quality you would expect in a good skate truck without the nasty price tag. Whether skating on a budget or you have money to burn these are great looking and great performing trucks.

The stock bushings are extremely soft, but otherwise these trucks seem great after a few days of riding on them (I replaced my bushings with harder ones). I’d say they’re not just good for the price, but are good in general compared to other more expensive trucks.

The kingpin is below the grinding surface, which for me is essential to not get stuck during grinds. They have a little bit lower axle height than the standard tensors, but are higher than the mag lows and older models.

I’d say definitely give these a try if you don’t want to spend $45+ on trucks, and especially if you already have some bushings you can put in them. I haven’t tried grinding cement with them, so not sure about the durability for that, but theyre holding up great to rails so far.

I like the trucks verry much they al lighter than most of the other trucks. I have always had tensor trucks and these tensor trucks ride super smooth.

All around good trucks. The only problem is they feel a bit heavier than the hollow ones but then again they are cheaper. It takes a while to get the bushings worked in also so they have this squeaky sound for a while.

I was disappointed in the sizing of coat. It came out very big.

I like the smooth grinding of this trucks. Good construction as well. It allows quick response on turning the board.

These trucks are amazing. Get some crazy turning out of it with a dual pivot system. Great for carving

nice shape sweet color. easy for rear drif

Hello! I’ve skated mostly independent trucks for most of my time skating. But I wanted to change things since I’m increasing my deck size, so I had to buy new trucks to fit my new board. These trucks are quite different to what I’m used to with skating indys.

The biggest thing I like about these trucks is the way it makes my pop feel more responsive. The trucks are a bit shorter than indy’s which makes your tail hit the ground faster than the indy’s, leading to a snappier pop.

the wheelbase is also a bit shorter so they turn a bit differently also. I immediately noticed that my board felt way lighter when i had these ons, almost too light at first. But I got used to it and now it feels amazing.

i feel like these trucks are made for tech skaters. Manuals, flat, curbs, stairs, and flatbars feel great with these. i bought these for an 8. 38 deck, but they will fit nicely on every deck between 8.

3 to 8. 6. The bushings is stiff but I’m certain that they will be softer when, I break them in fully. Overall, I’m happy with these trucks. It made skateboarding feel new again to me and I feel like I’m a more consistent skater with these.

I recommend these for street skaters that want light, responsive trucks.

I normally just dig a straight up polished steel truck but I can dig an all black truck too. I personally think it looks like a right banger. As far as the functionality goes it is what a Thunder truck is.

It pushes out the wheel base a little more than what an Indie or an Ace would and it turns slightly worse than both. It does weigh around 40 grams less than both of those though and that is not to be scoffed at.

I\’d personally use Thunders on boards with 14 or 14. 25 inch wheel bases whereas I\’d use Indies and Aces on 14. 25 or 14. 5 inches or above decks. These Thunders are a stable truck that is sturdy whilst still being less weighty.

I bought a pair of indy titanium trucks in the US, and had them shipped by a family member to me while I’m living here in Japan. About 5 or so months in, the axle snapped while skating flat. I was extremely surprised and kind of disappointed since they are on the expensive side.

Once that happened I contacted the customer support about the issue. Within a day or less, Jose responded and helped set up the process for getting me a new set of trucks here in Japan. Not only that, about 4 months later he also helped confirm whether the trucks I had purchased here in Japan were legitimate indy trucks.

The customer service from him is amazing. He is extremely helpful and super quick. For this reason alone, I will continue buying Indys and recommend them to friends. Keep up the good work! You are awesome at what you do, and provide a real value to this company.

Absolutely amazing trucks. The best ones I’ve ever skated. Just like the standard independent trucks, but way lighter. I feel like they are just as durable as the standard ones as well. I ride independents because they turn so well when I’m skating bowls and just skating transition in general.

I’ve tried skating other trucks, that are probably good for skating street and rolled into the bowl with them and almost died. I’m definitely going to stick to independents. I bought them off of the NHS website.

They were super easy to find on the site and there was a bunch of helpful information about the trucks that I could read. I bought them and they came in the mail super fast after that. NHS makes great stuff.

These trucks are amazing. You can’t go wrong with forged hollow. Lightweight. They look beautiful. These trucks are great for grinding. They take roughly 5 or so skate sessions to break in. The bushings are on the softer side, so if you’re heavier than 200 LBs you may want to purchase some harder bushings to go with these.

As for pricing these were very well priced in comparison to standard trucks they’re less than standard ones I looked at. Would buy these trucks again and will always use NHS Skate Direct going forward.

I can’t decide if I want to put these on my old school cruiser deck or what. The full wing quality is spot on.

Awesome I love these! So clean!

A really great upgrade for my board. Trucks performing very well in both my local skate bowl and I have found them to be stable and predictable at higher speeds on a 1/2 mile down hill run. Really excellent over the phone advice from knowledgeable staff and speedy delivery.

Thank you.

Was my first time trying tensors and I have to say there is a huge difference between these and my always go to independent trucks. These are super light weight and so far they have held up to the abuse of day to day use.

I’ve always been told to test out different brands and you might like something better then the other. This was my first pair or tensors and I am impressed with the quality. Thank you.

Very light hollow trucks! I love light trucks. The wheelbase on these (axle to axle) is about 4mm farther apart compared to Independent hollows. My only complaint with these is that my skate tool won\’t fit perfectly around the kingpin, a little annoying but shouldn\’t prevent you from buying these! Bones bushings also fit perfectly on the kingpin.

These trucks are working hard for me and feel great. Been getting some nice grinds on them and I been skating venture since I was in highschool. Definitely one of my go to trucks and I love that they are super light.

Will prob buy another pair when I need.

Good trucks very solid, have been skating them for over a year now, and they are spotless! However the looseness can\’t be adjusted with a regular skateboard tool which is kinda annoying.

Basically the same as carver cx trucks at a much better price. Really impressed with the performance of these trucks.

Pleasantly surprised at how good these feel ,my first ride was just as responsive as a pair of slalom trucks , at a third of the price of market leaders these are a must if you have a tight budget .

These trucks are very surfy and you\’ll enjoi them especially if you like loose trucks, but they still got very good stability at the center, kinda venture-like. I like them because i can get the surfy feeling from a truck that is still very \tech\: they\’ve got good light pop, they\’re lightweight, have a good pinch, but they\’re also surfy, the bushings are amazing also in the winter.

Really recommend them, i kept going back and forth between aces for the turning and thunders for the tech and these hit the sweet spot for me. Royal really stepped up in the game this time around.

I’ve been riding Royal’s since they came out. Nothing has changed and that’s why I still ride them. They break in quick, turn great and grind even better. Shoutout to Warehouse Skates for getting my order out in time for my skate trip.

I did not expect the trucks to be this good for such a low price. They feel very smooth turning corners and are also very light. Definitley recommend to buy
