Recommendation / intended use

The V3 165mm 50° trucks are particularly suitable for longboards and cruisers with a narrower stance (under 9" deck width), when you want lively, direct steering and good control through turns. The 50° baseplate offers greater responsiveness and is well suited to carving, tight turns and technical lines; paired with a 43° truck on the other axle, it allows you to fine-tune different setups.

Maintenance & notes

• Regularly check the kingpin nut and axle nuts and tighten if necessary.

• Check the hardness and condition of the bushings; replace worn pivot cups or kingpins.

• Weight & measurements are manufacturer-provided; if unsure, check clearance from the deck’s screws/holes (use riser pads if needed).
