Reviews
Mark Davidson:
“I’ve been riding Tensor Magnesium Trucks for over a year now, and the difference in weight is immediately noticeable. Tricks feel smoother, and the trucks respond faster without feeling fragile. The polymer baseplate sliders have saved me from replacing trucks multiple times after heavy slides, which is a game changer.”
Sophia Ramirez:
“As a park skater, the aluminum Tensor trucks gave me the perfect balance of strength and maneuverability. The interlocking bushings really add stability on landings, and the buttonhead kingpin design keeps everything tight without fuss. I can really feel Rodney Mullen’s influence in the precision of these trucks.”
Ethan Brooks:
“I switched to Tensor trucks because of their height options. Having the mid-height for my 54mm wheels made a huge difference in board control and reduced wheel bite. The hollow axle and kingpin reduce weight without losing any durability. Overall, these trucks stand up to heavy street skating while being super light.”
