Gullwing Sidewinder II Longboard/Skateboard Trucks Set of 2

PROS:smooth rideTurns on a dimeWell builtLooks goodGood constructionStableGreat adjustabilityALL PROVIDED YOU HAVE A DECK SUITABLE FOR THESE TRUCKS. CONS:-Increases wheelbase by around 4 inches (not too serious concidering the puny turn radius)-HIGHLY reccomend freestyle deck, pintails and the such will have wheelbite before even half of the turn.-(coincides with afore mentioned comment) mounted below the deck there is major clearance and a long distance to kick, so get a drop through or Maybe a drop deck with risers (if its tol low, the board with scrape.) Enough Risers to clear the wheels on a pintail you would be riding around 6" off the ground.***-all of these are minor issues and easily compensated for.Bout these a few weeks ago, and let me tell you, it was well worth it. Went from not being able to turn a sidewalk, to a 180 in a parking slot. Its very stable at full-speed/flat ground and minor hills, i havent attemped a major hill yet. I probably wouldnt reccomend it. Be wary of gravel and water when turning sharp. Ive nailed the ground numerous times after going through a small puddle or gravel. Even with soft wheels. All in all these are great trucks. I highly reccomend them. I built a budget board, bones red bearings (great for the price), ztuntz deck, generic 78a 76mm wheels, and these trucks, $120 for everything, i cant complain. Also, torque the kingpin nuts on both kingpins down quite a bit. Out of box its rediculously touchy. Id turn when i kick. Tightened down, it provides stabilty at speed, and responds quickly and accurately when engaging in a light or sharp turn.If you actually read all that, i thank you. You are doing your research. Well done.

I used to own a skateboard shop over a decade ago. I sold longboards, but I never took longboarding seriously. Yeah, the gravity junkies were fun to watch, and it's fun and an okay way to get around if you don't have to go into areas with many pedestrians. But these trucks are amazing. It's one of those, "why didn't someone think of this sooner" products. I have a Santa Cruz longboard. It's large (10"x32"), but still shaped like an old school deck. It was fun, but not always the most practical. These trucks have made this my go to board. I can ride this board anywhere, and it's actually MORE maneuverable than my regular skateboard. ​One thing I learned is that if you have a more traditional shaped deck (where the wheels are under the deck), stick with the 9" trucks. The 10" trucks will give you wheel bite, no matter how hard you crank down on the trucks. I run 62mm wheels and 9-inch trucks and it's great. My kids have the longboards where their wheels stick out the sides, and I have the 10-inch trucks for their boards and 72mm wheels.

These turn SO much. They're good for cruzing around campus, and they handle the 12 story parking garage across the highway like they were made for it. If you have them loose enough the board will slide for you, but because of how much they turn (and how much the board tilts, its almost 90 degrees!) And the way the rear slides out during hard cornering I wouldn't recommend these for beginners or if you don't have good balance. Definitely don't use these by a busy street until you're used to em.

I'm new to longboarding but I really enjoy making decks. I found these trucks that matched the aqua paint I used on my pintail and I couldnt resist.Before I had a lot of issue turning on my original trucks (I dont weigh much and didnt know I could loosen them) so I found a Carver at zumiez and really wanted something similar to have that unique surfing feel. I have a lot more fun with maneuvering and running with my dog.They sure work your muscles, my shins get sore after a couple hours.

I have gotten Two pairs of these, one for each pair of longboards I have.I personally have mixed feelings on them.I have a short old style fishtail cruiser and its relatively short in comparison to the pintail one.They're GREAT for the longer Pintail because they usually suffer from lack of maneuverability, with these you can surf more through with these.HOWEVER: with my shorter cruiser, it's too unstable, like way too unstable for my comfort. It's really to the point your ankles hurt because constantly having to adjust your steering angle. So I opted to have one of these in the front and a normal average one in the back which makes extremely maneuverable and still provides a sturdy support.Overall an excellent pair of trucks, they make a longboard feel like a more expensive performing board.Just be aware of it being much much different than a normal truck in comparison and that you might need risers/spacers.They also do NOT come with hardware.Pair them with Shark Wheele and you're 👌👌👌👌

These really are a game changer, once you ride them you'll be spoiled for regular longboard trucks forever. Amazingly, sidewinders don't make the board feel loose or unstable, you have plenty of control and stability while tightening the board's turning radius like you wouldn't believe. Carving is so smooth easy and sharp, combined with big soft wheels (I use Orangatang's 80mm Kegel) it's like riding a cloud. Not just a recommend from me but an insistence that you unlock everything your longboard is capable of, you won't turn back! At roughly 50$ you can't go wrong, I would happily pay double.

See photo. Shred like you're in water. These trucks are one of a kind. Your longboard will be transformed when you slap these on. Friends from all walks of life swear by this design. Enjoy.

Great product. Pairs best with a drop through. Some drop down decks will hit the wheel. Make sure to get a deck that is a pin tail or long board. This thing has massive wheel bite and even if your board has wheel whells. A con would also be how tall it puts you off the ground. Its hard to push when youre so high off the ground but i mean i guess tahts the point. At times i like being higher up other times like down hill i could do without. These are def from getting around crowded areas like campus or around cities and towns.

Writing this after a few weeks of use; I wish I had bought these sooner, they have made my time on my longboard even more fun. They provide a smooth ride with easy carving turns that remind me of snowboarding on fresh snow. The level of control has been turned up a notch and this has made me more confident, especially around pedestrians and obstacles.

Ottimo truck e carva tantissimo anche se nasce per essere un drop trough su tavole Sector 9 consiglio di comprarle abbinate per renderle efficaci

Very tight turning radius, just need to work on my pumping skills. They seem solid and of very good quality.

Crazy turning, I have 100% confidence while on my board. I still have not reached the limits of these trucks.

perfection.....turns are predictable and solid
