CALIBER III Tech Video - Caliber Truck Co.

We are proud to announce our latest truck, the Caliber III! After 5 years of research and development the results are our strongest and most customizable trucks to date. Updated to satisfy the modern skater with optional rake, the ability to use any bushing size, stock urethane pivot cups, stock Venom bushings, 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!

really cool, love the new features ... Ryan: 10" 44° raked for "fast freeride and going through turns stand-up [..] going fast" Patrick: 9" 44° raked for "downhill and faster freeride [..] lean, I love the lean" Tom: 10" 44° negative rake for "low [..] most stable version, slides easy to break out into [..] for a fast freeride board" Tristan: 9" 44° rakeless for "faster freeride [..] turns more consistently" Liam: 10" 44° rakeless for "most stable, consistent for me [..] gives you more stability than a truck with rake in it"

Looks like he’s been hitting lines lol boy twitchy af

*Bushing seat is Wider on Raked version, Rakeless has the same/similar bushing seat to previous version.* Important thing that specs don't mention on most sites, it affects ride feel and what bushings you may want to use.

[@oscarguijosa7881]

Glad to see y'all are still in business.

[@epicswagjake]

Any one see tristibs part? His linguistics are alluring and physical features are angelic.

[@SmGD1n0pwnage2]

Awesome video! Trucks looks lovely.

[@goodvibetribe4296]

Hell yes! Good video guys and gals, love this stuff! It’s great to see the quality and commitment to taking your trucks up to the next level. I know the community is loving it also! 👊 ❤️

[@shredboise]

Excellent overview. I'm sold

[@xXGe0rgEXx]

I got a Comet Ethos 38 back in 2012 or '13 with Caliber 2s. It never felt right skating the shorter (for me) 24" wheelbase. This year I decided to finally try the narrower truck life picked up a set of the 9" Caliber 3s raked to throw on the old board. WOW.... Cal3s are probably the best cast truck you can buy, honestly probably trading punches with precisions. The plug bushing adds some serious stability and control. My main setup is 47* k5s on a larger 27" wb single kick. Skated the same setup for like 6 years now. However this new 24" WB board that I've never really enjoyed skating is quickly becoming my main. Really think the Calibers unlocked it's true potential. I'm excited to try more 22 - 25" WB boards since the 9" Cal 3r just feel so amazing on them. Good job making an amazing product that's getting me hyped to skate again.

[@killswitch269]

Did I hear that correct ? Owner of caliber ? This is news to me ! Fuck ya Liam and I'm hyped to see where the company is going definitely gotta try out these new thangs I'm still rocking my old 44 Cal's . But overall congratulations

[@CaliberTruckCo]

You heard that correct. Skater owned and ran skaters.

[@hunterjohnson9953]

First song!!!! Always thought it would be great in a video

[@theoriginalrabbithole]

Love my Caliber IIIs! I've been running the 10" 44 degree, raked Caliber IIs and these trucks are all that and more. Being able to pull the shim for taller bushings is huge, as I like the big greens in the back. Still experimenting with different rake settings. I like the adjustability. More tools in the 'handling adjustment tool box' in a sense. 😁

[@CaliberTruckCo]

🙏🙏 thanks for the support!

[@mcquangus]

Good to see y’all still making it happen

[@fugim]

I looked at the like number and was sad that it was so low compared to how things used to be from 2011-2016. I saw Liam Morgan and was astonished at how someone who came into the spotlight when still young and in high school has grown up so much (started to feel old cuz of that). The minute he said "Owner of Caliber Trucks" my jaw hit the friken floor. When and how did that happen? Also, great improvements to the trucks. I gotta get a new set now.

[@skatebloodorange9439]

Liam became the owner or Blood Orange, Prism, and Caliber in 2019! Thanks for the support!

[@cdixon198]

Damn Liam I’m so stoked that I can run tall bushings with these. I just bought 2 sets. You guys are the best.

[@CaliberTruckCo]

thanks for the support fam.

[@basicdope4056]

Any tall bushings works for the raked 44?? there is not tall plugbarrels?? I got the Calibers v3 10 44 im looking to get some tall barrels but dont know what to buy any tips?

[@adjd1576]

They should’ve got Zak Maytum to review these!

[@gavincleland9010]

Wowwwww guys! Killing it I'll absolutely have to pick up a set and a half at least. Rakeless 10in hangar and raked 9in?

[@hugomundo4826]

Good to see my favourite trucks getting raked versions. You may feel stylish but trucks add nothing to your style, tho. It lies in your heart

[@CaliberTruckCo]

The rake really does add a feeling of flow and helps with connecting carves and being able to carve harder and deeper, it will feel like your style is improving if you've never used a rake truck before.

is there anyone else who directly ordered new pivot cups for his caliber II's after seeing this video? 😂😂

[@CaliberTruckCo]

big upgrade for the IIs, thats gonna feel great.

THANKS all!:)

[@andrewa9228]

Finally bought a 50° raked in the black bourbon

[@jayjauregui]

came here for the slomo vine footy

[@konan8353]

You guys used to use plastic pivots??

[@CaliberTruckCo]

We use to use the same type of pivot that every other truck company still uses. We now make them out of urethane which is a huge upgrade and not offered by any other cast truck company.

[@andrgr]

[@dschihadinio]

Killa shit!

[@CaliberTruckCo]

Leave questions here and we'll answer them!

[@stevekra314]

What does axel offset do. Are they more or less responsive around center when 1st start to lean. Compared to zero offset.

[@stevekra314]

?

[@stevekra314]

?

[@RideFlyLongboards]

Will there be a lower base plate degree and shorter hanger option in the future?

[@CaliberTruckCo]

With how popular the 44 degree 158mm trucks are, we might consider it.

[@timcrampton7592]

@@CaliberTruckCo I second this idea. It would be great to have a cast option for split degree trucks!

[@Jelop666]

so I am little bit confused ? the trucks for Dancing,freestyle,freeride are Caliber III Rakeless 10" 50 Degree or Caliber III Raked 10" 50 ?

[@Psyducklets]

So are we going to get tall plug bushings?

[@CaliberTruckCo]

Maybe! But for now you can run a tall bushing boardside and a plug barrel roadside.

[@Gianluccazz]

What mean rake in this topic about longboard trucks ? I was found lot of meanings ( my mother language is Spanish) 😅.

[@skatebloodorange9439]

positive rake = more turn, surfy feeling, negative rake = low ride height, stability, and less turn. you can get either by flipping the hanger on the Cal III R.

[@zzzaaannnn]

wait, so they using venom plug barrels roadside? i thought they're supposed to go boardside only :T but, yeah, why not i guess

[@skatebloodorange9439]

We've tested using them both ways and it makes no difference.

[@kereboards8158]

👍👏👏👏👏👏👏😎✌👽

[@luismiguelvasquezvillegas4789]

I’m new in this world so I want to make downhill me day but for now I will start with free ride to learn how to slide in all possible ways but I don’t know which reference choice for my board so please help me to do a correct buy for star to learn correctly

[@skatebloodorange9439]

Choose 44 degree 184mm for learning downhill!

[@hanson251985]

Caliber III R Flipped is the same as raked?

[@1MantisPhoenix]

One of the scenes looked like Houtbay Cape Town ;?

[@PlaxonX]

Why cant I order one on the the website? It doesn't have any "add to cart" or "buy" option.

[@CaliberTruckCo]

We only ship within the USA, it's probably because of that.

music?

[@davek3312]

Shut up and take my money!!!!!

[@prairietan]

What is neg racke

[@skatebloodorange9439]

It's the opposite of positive rake. instead of more turn and surfy feel you get less turn, more lean, and more stability. it also lowers the ride height.

[@iosoi3145]

​​​​@@skatebloodorange9439 Nice👍 I really like how you explained that. Very helpful. Could you please also describe the Rakeless version of Cal 3 (or Cal 2) in the way you described negative & positive rake like turn, lean, surfy, stability, fast, slow, height etc. It will help me decide whether to get the raked or rakeless Cal. I'm particularly interested in learning to pump to propel.

[@guido69x]

This ones can actually turn????😂

[@icantollie]

Dude just put up a grid showing all 8 variations by width x baseplate angle x raked vs. rakeless and move on rather than list all 8 permutations one by one; had to stop watching the vid after a minute and a half in it was so tedious lol

[@marsoblivi0n945]

Man can’t decide between caliber 3 and bear gen 6. Just getting back into skating. Have no idea if I should get raked or rake less?
