Independent Trucks - Forged Hollow : 129 à 169

In the skateboard world, the iron cross brand remains the absolute benchmark. But for riders looking for more pop lightness without sacrificing durability on grinds, the Independent Trucks Forged Hollow stand out as the ultimate choice. Discover why this technology makes all the difference on your board.

Forged Hollow Technology: Maximum Strength, Reduced Weight

The Forged Hollow model combines two major innovations compared to the Standard Stage 11 model:

• Hollow axles and kingpins: The main axle and kingpin are bored out in the center, reducing weight without compromising impact resistance.
• Forged baseplate: Manufactured by compressing aerospace-grade aluminum, the baseplate is thinner, ultra-strong, and offers a slightly lower height (53.5mm) for a quicker pop response.

The result? A truck that is 10% lighter than a classic Stage 11, ideal for hitting gaps and making fliptricks easier without losing the brand's legendary grind quality.

Size Guide: From 129 to 169 (Which truck for which board?)

To ensure optimal performance, it is essential to match your truck width to your deck width:

• 129 (Axle 7.60"): Perfect for small street boards (7.5" to 7.75").
• 139 (Axle 8.00"): The historic street standard for decks from 7.75" to 8.25".
• 144 (Axle 8.25"): The ideal modern size for 8.25" boards.
• 149 (Axle 8.50"): Designed for versatile setups and bowls (8.25" to 8.65").
• 159 (Axle 8.75") & 169 (Axle 9.125"): The must-have widths for old school decks, reissues, or big bowls.
