Precision Rogue Trucks

Precision Update – Rogue Trucks

Rogue incorporated community and team-rider feedback into a recent update of their precision trucks. Geometry and the insert bushing concept remain the same while improvements focus on making the trucks more usable and lightweight. Read our guide to the best longboard trucks to learn more about the best trucks.

The bushing seat features a new chamfer allowing for easy assembly or dis-assembly with less contact from the kingpin. In an effort to reduce weight, material was removed from the baseplates and reliefs were milled into the hangers. While these adjustments lower the weight of the assembled truck, Rogue was careful not to compromise any strength or integrity. You can be confident they’re right thanks to their lifetime no-bend guarantee.

Available Truck Sizes

The new precisions are available in 160MM or 180MM hanger widths with 15°, 30°, 43° and 50° baseplates. Each set ships with 87a, 90a and 93a Venom tall bushings so you can dial them in to your preference. Also included are 93a insert bushings and 93a pivot cups. Kingpins and axles are pressed in and the axles are now secured with dual set screws. You may have seen dual set screws before the update: Rogue introduced this feature on the last production run of the trucks before the update.

UPDATE: New photo of the chamfer added!

Skoa Vertex Front Angle

Vertex – Skoa Designs

When one speaks of luxury trucks, SKOA isn’t an uncommon name. SKOA revolutionized the truck game by not only creating utilitarian and functional precision trucks, but by also designing eye-candy.

The New Skoa Vertex

The new SKOA Vertex reverse-kingpin trucks combine the design of the existing Stream7 and M.Spec designs to give you a mix between grip, controlled slip and the classic SKOA stability at high speed; all the while keeping the classic SKOA I-Beam portfolio to guarantee maximum strength and minimum weight.

The SKOA Vertex has 1.5 degrees of positive rake and features race-oriented oversized pivot cups to give more support, durability and dampening. They also come equipped with tall SKOA bushings. All urethane parts are in 90a durometer and are hand-poured by SKOA in their manufacturing plant.

Hangars are available in 172mm or 178mm and baseplate combinations are available in 47 degrees symmetrical and also in a 47 degree and 42 degree split native. Grab a set at the link!

We are talkin’ premium, precision trucks. SKOA has nailed it with the engineering of the Vertex trucks and with the asthetics. We can’t wait to see these on a board. You can buy them directly from SKOA as well.

Rayne Vendetta V3 Promo

Vendetta V3 – Rayne Longboards

Looking to freeride, pump, cruise or maybe even some light downhill all on one deck? The Vendetta is Rayne’s solution for riders who want a little of it all. It’s drop-through truck mounts and low standing platform make it an all around performer and this year Rayne’s 2016 Vendetta V3 builds on the success of the original Vendetta by adding new features and a fresh look.

 

Its an inch shorter at 39″ and shaves a quarter-inch from the width at 9.75″ while maintaining the same 30″ wheelbase. Rayne’s Fat-Bottom construction is new along with some rocker and a .75″ micro radial drop. The fat-bottom prevents wheelbite and maintains rigidity with less material through the length of the board. The rocker and micro radial drop keep you in position, stable and aware of foot placement.

 

Rayne has baked in all the features from the original, including sharp edges, vertically laminated bamboo core, pre-tensioned fiberglass, leverage concave, firm flex, sublimated artwork and the environmentally friendly Bee Orange finish. The Vendetta ships with Atlas Ultralight trucks, Rayne Envy 70MM wheels and Vicious Griptape. Pick up a complete at the link!

Tucker Side Profile

NoBull Tucker – Moonshine Manufacturing

A recent collaboration from Team NoBull and Moonshine MFG puts NoBull’s graphics on custom Moonshine Tuckers. The graphics feature nutritional information, ingredients and warnings reminiscent of what would “Give you wings” on the gas station shelf. We especially enjoyed the Total Fun Ridin’ Fact and the SKU!

All Moonshine’s decks are handmade in the USA and feature waterproof construction, urethane rails and truck mounts, vertically laminated wood cores and factory applied laser cut grip tape.

Specifications of Moonshine’s Tucker

The Tucker measures 33.5″ long by 9.75″ wide and offers 5 wheelbase options in .75″ increments from 23.5″ to 26.5″. The truck mounts at 0* on precision machined urethane to both dampen the ride and ensure accuracy. The urethane rails ensure you won’t have issues with delaminating after smashing curbs. The Tucker’s medium concave and micro drop lock you in at speed.

These decks will go out to NoBull’s Team Riders but you can still pick up a Tucker from Moonshine at the link. Keep an eye out for these at the next Bayou Battle in 2017.

Did you cop a Tucker from Moonshine? Tag us on Instagram and we’ll give you a shout out. We love seeing gear from the best brands in longboarding out in the wild.
