Caliber 2 Fifty 10" Midnight Satin Forest Longboard Trucks
?
Updated inner/outer steps on bushing seat.
The new Inner-Step provides an increased contact area with the bushing, resulting in dramatically higher rebound and overall responsiveness.
The Inner-Step diameter has been adjusted to 25.4 mm to eliminate all slop.
The new Outer-Step is now a perfect circle with a 31.5mm diameter, creating a perfect no-slop-fit with oversized aftermarket bushing combinations.
Pivot with tighter tolerance and updated chamfer.
By decreasing our pivot cup seat chamfer, we have increased pivot cup surface area contact with the baseplate.
This creates a snugger fit for the pivot pin and prevents side-to-side play as the pivot cup breaks in.
Circular kingpin hole with updated diameter
With a diameter of 17.4mm, our kingpin hole has been updated to match the specs of our precision trucks.
A circular hole provides a consistent and uniform lean, while also allowing proper clearance to avoid kingpin bite on the hanger.
Increased truck strength
With a new in-house heat treatment process at our manufacturing facility, we are able to strengthen our trucks by as much as 40%.
Pressed-in grade 8 hex head kingpin
We have removed all slop and play by switching to a pressed-in kingpin.
This provides maximum control and responsiveness through corners, but can still be hammered out and replaced with different length removable kingpins for extra levels of customization.
Reinforced baseplate
We have reinforced our baseplate by thickening the metal towards the kingpin. This provides increased strength and resistance against high speed impact.
Thinner paints for tightened tolerances
Powder coats are very thick and can throw off tolerances and affect overall truck performance. We have switched over to a thinner paint system for optimal performance.
