Top 10 Skateboard Truck Brands

created by tidymanUK

Here's a list of the best skateboard truck brands. Trucks can be expensive, and picking out the right set of skate trucks can seem tough. But, if you get a pair of trucks off of this list, you should be good. There are other brands that are good quality too, but each of these brands has something that helps it to really stand out.

Vote for Tensor Trucks 1) Tensor Trucks

Tensor trucks are the most highly engineered skateboard trucks on the market. Tensor trucks are like the Cadillac of trucks, and have the brilliance of skateboarding legend / engineer Rodney Mullen as a driving force. Tensor trucks come in both standard and low designs, and should work excellently in most skateboarding situations. Sort of a perfect all-round well built skateboarding truck.

Built like a tank.

Vote for Thunder Trucks 3) Thunder Trucks

Thunder trucks are solid, with some great innovations. Thunder’s light truck range claims ot be the lightest available, with the quickest turning. Thunder’s team is also pretty impressive, with Thomas, Appleyard, Marks, Steamer, Ellington... the list is actually pretty huge. If having a lot of pros ride the same trucks as you is important (which isn’t a bad idea - these people are skating in competitions, and want the best! ), then take a look at Thunder.


Vote for Destructo Trucks 4) Destructo Trucks

4 LIFE!

zcars1323

Destructo has some fancy skateboarding trucks. The Destructo raw series skate trucks come in low, medium and high designs and look oddly skinny. The Limited and Pro series trucks just look awesome, with simple pro signatures on the front and great color schemes. That’s not to mention Destructo’s "Rail Killer" series - these light trucks have extended baseplates to reduce wheelbite, and come in some incredible color schemes (including one using 24 karat gold! ).

Vote for Silver Trucks 6) Silver Trucks

silver is freak’n awesome. SILVER ROCKS.

blindsk8ter

Silver has edged it’s way onto the scene offering nice, quality skateboard trucks, with plenty of little extras to make their trucks stand out from the rest. With things like inverted kingpins and axle caps, Silver trucks are pushing their motto, "Strength with Style. " Silver trucks do look nice! Silver also sports a great team, with guys like Sheckler, Dyrdek, Rodriquez and more.


Vote for Fury Trucks 7) Fury Trucks

Fury skateboarding trucks are heavier and stronger than most. Most skateboarders try to shave off as much weight as possible. However, Fury has some other special features to try to tempt you - Fury trucks are wider than most, come with a mini riser (similar to Phantom trucks), and special Fury bushings. And if that’s not enough, Fury trucks have a unique ballpoint turning design, so that the hangar has a ball joint sitting in a socket in the base plate.

Vote for Krux Trucks 8) Krux Trucks

Krux make some great trucks. Krux makes "downlows" trucks, that have a lower hanger and kingpin than even Grind King. However, you will need a hex tool to adjust them. The Krux IIIs with Topless System are even lighter, with special bushings that feel broken in from the start, but that also provide a faster snap back into position. Krux trucks are light and low.

Vote for Grindking Trucks 9) Grindking Trucks

Grind King skateboard trucks are the best trucks available for grinding. The truck hangar is made from aluminum, making it softer and weaker, but better for grinding. This means you will have to replace them faster if you grind, but your grinds will be smoother and better. Grind King trucks do use special hex-head kingpins, so you will need a special tool to adjust them.

Vote for Phantom Trucks 10) Phantom Trucks

Phantom 2 trucks have a low profile, are lightweight and have a nice smooth edge for grinding. They also just look nice. The thing that sets Phantom trucks (both regular Phantoms and Phantom 2s) are their built in shock pads. Phantom calls it an "Impact Dispersion System, " a 1. 5 mm rubber shock pad built onto the bottom of the trucks. Shock pads help reduce stress from the trucks to the board.

phantoms are light and durable

Choices Not In The Top Ten

Vote for Royal 12) Royal

royal is awesome

cool designs and durable!

Vote for Navigator Trucks 13) Navigator Trucks

Navigator is a newer truck company, and may be hard to find (the Navigator site has a store locater that should help). I’ve listed them here because they have some unique features on their trucks. For example, they have a special addition beneath the baseplate that holds the kingpin in place so bushings can be replaced without taking the trucks off of the skateboard. Also, Navigator is the only truck company that pins their axles, so they can guarantee their axles will NEVER slip! The Navigator site lists many other features - take a look and see what you think.
