Caliber truck co’s nya model är äntligen här! 44°-modellen är revolutionerande genom att den har en helt annan mångsidighet än någonsin tidigare. Du kan nu välja om du vill ha den i 44° eller 50° i samma truck! Det är första gången man kunnat bygga om samma truck till två olika vinklar.
Really great trucks from Caliber for cruising or more challenging freeriding. The Caliber III looks just as cool as it feels, and you can build an incredibly stylish setup with them. Caliber stands for a great feel and high quality. If you thought the Version II trucks were great, this is simply a truck with an improved feel and more possibilities than ever before.
Check out Venom’s awesome, specially designed plug bushings that provide minimal play. These plug bushings function as precision bushings and feature a small raised edge that fits perfectly into your trucks. In addition, the truck has now been upgraded with a urethane pivot cup instead of the plastic typically used in most trucks on the market. This provides better and more reliable responsiveness while riding.
Shim
Modellen är utrustad med en så kallad shim. Det vill säga en liten bricka som ligger försänkt på din baseplate. Denna bricka är en otroligt finurlig idé. Om du låter den vara så har du helt enkelt en baseplate som ger dig en 50° vinkel men genom att lyfta bort den så kan du sänka truckens vinkel till en 44°. En vinkel som ger dig lägre höjd på hela brädan samtidigt som du kan få den lite stabilare i högre hastighet. Genom att den 5mm tjocka brickan ger dig lite mer plats då den tas bort kan du välja att använda en tall busing på insidan (boardside). På så vis kan du få bättre stabilitet och mer lean i din åkning.
Så du kan själv välja om du vill köra en tall bushing eller ej om du kör utan din shim. Notera att tall barrel bushings säljs separat i så fall. Vi rekommenderar Venom som är det märke Caliber valt att använda som standard i sina truckar.
Rake
Caliber's new trucks are available in both standard and rake versions.
Choosing between a positive or negative rake is as simple as flipping the hanger over if you buy the raked versions. If you look at the pictures, you'll see that the hanger is slightly angled, so you can unscrew it and flip it over to get new characteristics on the same truck.
You can use the rake adjustment on the truck to set it to a positive (standard) or negative rake, giving you different characteristics on the very same truck! Positive rake gives you deeper turns for a great flow while cruising, while negative rake gives you a lower, more stable riding experience! Perfect if you want to pick up speed on your freeride and get a more direct response when sliding.
In this case, flipping your hanger doesn't affect the truck angle; it simply gives you different characteristics and a different feel while riding, as described above.
Original Description
Caliber Truck Co. is a skateboard truck manufacturing company dedicated to creating the highest quality trucks on the market. After 5 years of research and development the results are our strongest and most customizable trucks to date; the battle proven Caliber III. Updated to satisfy the modern downhill skater with optional rake, the ability to use any bushing size, increased strength and a budget friendly price tag. Our world class team of skaters have taken our prototypes to hell and back, and we never stopped improving the Caliber III until everyone was satisfied. Enjoy!
Newly designed, widened hanger supports for increased strength. Specifically to prevent bending.
A 45° chamfer for weight reduction. Specifically designed to offset the weight increase caused by the added hanger material.
High strength SCM435 alloy steel kingpins eliminate unwanted kingpin movement.
SCM435 alloy steel axles reduce the risk of bending or cracking.
Upgraded 96A urethane pivot cups are longer lasting and eliminate pivot slop.
Tried and true tombstone hanger design increases strength and rigidity over competitors.
Venom 90A High Performance Formula Plug Barrel bushings, designed specifically for Caliber Trucks, eliminate unwanted hanger slop and HPF urethane provides a fast return to center.
10″ (184 mm) hangar for stability and easier slide initiation.
Truck degree is stamped on the bottom surface of the baseplate for easy identification.
The 50° baseplate is the option with the liveliest feel in our line; it offers a sharper turning radius, ideal for cruising, carving, and freestyle/dance.
Raked hanger provides increased turn and a generally more lively feeling ride.
Raked hangar can also be flipped upside down from the stock position. This will turn it into a negative rake truck, for more consistent turns, lower ride height, easier slide initiation and an overall more stable ride. Ideal for fast freeride, downhill and beginners.
