I'd like others imput filling this in!
Luxe lites hollow 180mm 50 or 45° 48€(53$) in EU not sure about the US.
@Philipp Murx Sick how do they ride etc?
@Matt Needs Wheels Pretty standard rkp truck, geometry somewhere between paris, randal and arseal. Bushing seat almost as open as paris, not restrictive like arsenals. Will fit talls road side if you want them as divy as paris, otherwise they are slightly more planted than paris out of the box but bretty similar, a little step towards arsenals, but not as hard to set up well. Just any other decent cast truck pretty much.
I'm not very picky on trucks honestly.
What i rode and liked before(rkp only): randal2-3, paris1-3, gunmetal, sabre gravity cast, bolzen,liquid trucks, caliber 1-2, arsenal cast and cnc all widths, Iliffe freeride & downhill, seismic aeon
what i rode and didn't like: ronins, atlas (but only due to the stock pivot cup, geometry is fine), gog, sabre cold forged
@Philipp Murx Sick I'll add that in a sec, if you have a sec I'd be stoked for some even breifer descripts on the others you rode.
@Matt Needs Wheels sure!
To make it really brief imma go ahead and claim that Randal, Paris, Sabre, Bolzen, Luxe, Arsenal can be made to feel pretty identical with slightly different bushings and washers. Sabre has the most defined center under load, arsenal has the strogest return to center under no load, but this can be adjusted with some bushing trickery.
Aeon and Atlas trucks aren't super far from it, but naturally a bit more agile. Both of these i'd only recommend if you like riding relatively loose paris, and on atlas you really have to upgrade the pivot cup to make them enjoyable.
Caliber rakeless(/gunmetal) Are a step in the other direction where the advantages of loose trucks are a bit minimal, but you will get very predictable drifts, especially if you like running tighter trucks.
Liquid can probably be all of the above as they come with way more settings than i bothered to try. The way i tried them they fell in the paris category.
@Philipp Murx Adding em in, some of those trucks I don't see readily availible tho.
@Matt Needs Wheels haha yep many of them are long gone.
I am riding the 150 and 180 40º bear gen6 with barrel+plug barrel bushings and they are amazing for the prize. A very very solid fast freeride truck, better feeling than Kodiaks even though less durable IMO.
This last gen with the caliber III and the Bear gen6 really stepped up the game for cast trucks, the quality jump is huge!
The description for Reverses is kind of lacking imo. To me they dive plenty for a 47* truck because they have pretty intense rake. They can also run a tall boardside without a washer thanks to apparently being designed around a slightly oversized .650" Sabre sized bushing, GullWing Charger 2s also had this same characteristic.
Those R3s are fire too though, they're probably the closest cast truck to an Aera K3 in regards to ride feel that I've experienced. The bushing seat is literally machined rather than just cast. I think the only other cast truck to have such a feature was Buck trucks. Randal R3s also were the first cast truck to use a plug barrel setup stock, a full 5 years before Bear or Caliber did. I think these really could've taken off if they'd done a 160mm width and updated 35* plate.
I must also add that Arsenal casts can be found for as low as $40 on Amazon right now. That's exceptionally cheap considering their solid performance, a very underrated truck.
@Rat Bürger Good info, super appreciated, I am sitting on ~40 dm's from insta about trucks that I am dreading taking the time to compile/ sift through what is one off opinions or not. So this is likely to change.
