Skateboard Cruiser Trucks

Cruiser Trucks to Match Your Style

In the realm of cruiser skateboard trucks, there are no specific rules for selecting your truck type. You may choose standard kingpin trucks, usually seen on contemporary skateboards, or opt for reverse kingpin trucks, which are generally used for longboards. Nevertheless, most smaller cruisers boast topmount trucks, meaning they're fixed beneath the deck.

With cruisers, trucks are frequently somewhat looser than those on skateboards or longboards, allowing for rapid turning.

What Is the Appropriate Size of Trucks for a Cruiser?

The general guideline for cruiser trucks is to select ones matching the width of your deck. Typically, a size of 150mm will be most compatible with the majority of cruisers, though it is entirely feasible to select both larger and smaller sizes.

Your size choice is ultimately a personal decision, but ample wheel clearance is crucial. Trucks that are excessively large increase the risk of wheelbite, detracting from the cruising experience.

If wheelbite remains an issue, consider investing in some Cruiser Skateboard Risers.
