All Independent Stage 9 Low Trucks: Utilizing the original Fast-Action Independent Geometry with the same kingpin and pivot angles–the new Stage 9 Low turns and responds quickly and precisely–just like an Independent truck should. By keeping the original axle position relative to the mounting holes the new Stage 9 Low provides the truest wheel base possible and keeps the meat of the baseplate outside of your wheels for solid nose and tail tricks. The shape of the inside portion of the hanger has been rounded for additional grind space on smith and feeble grinds. The all-new light-weight Hollow Body hanger design creates an optimal balance of lightweight and durability, making the Low almost 10% lighter than the already light, standard height Independent truck.
