Description
 
THESE TRUCKS ARE NOT SOLD IN PAIRS. PRICE INCLUDES ONE TRUCK ONLY. Gullwing Sidewinder Trucks: The patented design of the Gullwing Sidewinder Trucks have been turning heads since they were first introduced. What makes these trucks so special is that they have two pivot points which allows the trucks to turn twice as sharp and fast as a standard truck. This double action pivot allows the rider to generate speed using their own turning momentum. The Gullwing Sidewinder trucks are a sidewalk surfers dream. Ask anyone that has ridden them and the truth will be told. ***Please be aware that these trucks must be set up on an appropriately shaped deck with proper clearance in order to function properly and avoid wheel bite***


Features

- Hanger Length: 159mm, 6-1/4"
- Axle Length: 9-3/8 inches
- height, base to kingpin nut: 3-3/8"

    I got these thinking that they seemed interesting and maybe they would be really fun to ride. Unfortunately, there are several things I realized after living with them for a while. For one thing, you are taking something that has a simple and beautiful design and making it unnecessarily complicated. Having two kingpins and two sets of bushings to worry about and having the trucks pivoting and loosing energy in two places instead of one seems like a bad design idea. So I got them, and surprise... the stock bushings are completely dead and need to be replaced. I replaced the stock bushings with Bones medium bushings, which improved the ride tremendously and they are really fine now. Of course, since there are two sets of bushings in each truck, you have to buy twice the amount of bushings... adding another $20 to the cost of the trucks. And while they are decent and ride-able now, the cost of getting them to that point exceeds a good pair of Randalls or Paris trucks, which have a much simpler and more effective design and come with bushings that you might actually be able to use. And should you want to replace the bushings, you would only have to replace 2 pairs instead of 4. I kind of like the weird Frankenstein-like design of sitting a hangar on top of another pivot and kingpin, but I think it's better as a concept than an actual product. The other issue is that these trucks increase the height of the board significantly, making pushing much more of a chore than it should be. I really would not recommend that anyone buy these trucks. I have just ordered a set of Paris 150mm trucks to replace these, and I can't wait.
    Overall Bottom Line - not recommended

    i just got these trucks in june and i have to say these trucks have blown me away. i love the fact that you dont have to losen your kingpin all the way to get the response you desire and risk getting speed wobbles. they [from experience] work way better than any reverse kingpin or standard truck. however there is one drawback the stock pivot cups and bushings are extremely hard and unreliable. i wore holes in the pivot cups after mabey 12 hours of riding. and the stock bushing are really hard [im guessing like 110a] so i replaced them with thunder 90a's. i also replaced all of the bolts and washers on mine but that was just purely for asthetics.
    Overall Bottom Line - recommended

    These trucks are pretty much the bomb. They allow great turning ablity, with the satifaction of reduced speedwobble. The only bad thing with these trucks, is that they look like they are facing the wrong way when you put them on your board. This makes the wheels not line up with the cut outs if you have them. Just a warning though, otherwise i highly recomend.
    Overall Bottom Line - recommended
