SYNERGY TRUCKS | REVIEW

Detailed description of the Synergy trucks:
Highly Customizable & Versatile
1. Adjustable hanger width: 160mm, 154mm, 148mm, 142mm, so they will fit decks with different width.
2. Adjustable rear truck angle from 20 degree to 40 degree, which will change the turn/lean ratio of the board to suit the needs of different riders as well as decks with different inner bolt wheelbase.
3. The trucks use readily available standard longboard bushings: 15mm bushings on the road side & 19mm ones on the board side. No proprietary bushings needed, so you have more choices from different brands.
4. Low ride height to suit more riding styles, even with Qwik quick release system, they won't be too high.
5. They can carve, they can pump, they can grind, and they can even handle some entry level LDP missions. Use your imagination and experiment with different bushing setups.
front truck weight: 480g
back truck weight: 498g
weight excludes wheels.
Buttery Smooth and Large Range of Motion
1. Double spherical bearings allows super smooth motion with ZERO sloppiness.
2. 'Correct' geometry - the pivot pin of the hanger is perfectly aligned with the rotation axis - no unexpected movement or resistance within the system. So the bushings (both shape & duro) play a big role in defining the riding characteristics.
3. No hard stops, which enables a large range of motion for these trucks.
4. Made of forged 6061-T6 aluminium, followed by precision CNC and finished with anodizing. Strong, smooth and precise.

trucks look very promising and high quality. Hopefully they will not cost a fortune

[@MrPsiman]

finally a truck with spherical bearings and super wide lean. I have been talking about this for years and there needs to be trucks more like slalom and LDP trucks but it went ignored. This looks like the first true high end truck for surfskating. it's overdue and it's time has finally come. Tried to speak to Surfskate Love on this years ago and he ignored it. I think what the difficulty is that most people are unaware of high end trucks and what they are and are suffice with mediocrity and become fanboys of brands and don't want to try anything else.

[@goofyfootgreg]

Interesting trucks! They seem like they would provide the rider with lots of options for adjustment. 👍👍

[@staubach1979rt]

That beautiful sound as he carves the park!

[@alexenz2412]

This truck system looks amazing! It's the first time I saw them.Thx for this review, Shane!

[@SteveThompson-li2fc]

Great and welcomed review, excited to see new and further innovation in the surfskate scene. I like a more stable set-up for carving and the adjustable range on these trucks is spot-on!

[@reubenbacon9156]

Looks good. Almost looks like a hybrid between a cx style and c7 style truck

[@barrydworak]

Simplicity of CX with range similar to C7. Maybe the pump power of CX, too?

[@Didgeman80]

Pretty cool! I'm already imagining a Whitetail Tigershark with 2 qwik truk plates on the rear, using a remora wheelbase extender. The furthest back would be installed facing the opposite way and be to go-to for a LDP setup.

[@DoubleOverhead]

Whoa, these trucks look like a true game changer!

[@riccardogilardi3124]

I guess a more clear way to show the leaning and curving of trucks would be: - for the leaning to put the camera at the same eight of the table (or slightli above), filming one truck at the time from its middle, with a wall with a grid helping to notice better the leaning - for the curing same setup but with the grid on the table and the camera above a single truck at a time from their middle vertical axis

[@christianrodriguez3531]

These look great!

[@duckchuck3833]

Hi Shane. Not sure how to reach out so sending msg here. I tried the infinity loop with the carver 29' (swallow) and 27' (mini simmon) set up with a C7 truck. And struggled. Then got my hands on a Carver CX 25' (octogoner, it is a model for kid). I managed to do the infinity loop relatively easily. What is your experience with smaller set ups? Do you find it easier or more difficult to execute the loops?

[@paulwegener8366]

How do they compare against smoothstar or YOW?

[@haywardbutler33]

Hey Shane, thanks for a nice review. How do the Synergy trucks compare to the Long Island Genesis trucks? Regards, Hayward

[@barrydworak]

Did you say that the Synergy has Riptide bushings standard? Carver really ought to do that. I replace all of my Carver factory bushings with Riptides as SOP. My older Carver bushings cracked in the CX with a little casual use. Newer ones seem a little better but still have bubbles in the urethane. None of them rebound like the Riptides.

[@tungkok4245]

Hello，I want to know how about the weight for truck ? comparison other two(cx and grasp) thank you very much

[@shanelai2515]

Front truck is 480g. Back truck is 498g. Weight includes bushings, spacers and nut

[@georgeminks6371]

Shane do you do some trick like kickflip?

[@tungkok4245]

@@shanelai2515thank you

[@boardbuslife]

Very interested in this design, especially when comparing to, say, Waterborne's Dream Truck. One less kingpin should mean lighter, but how is the durability and modularity?

[@AkosiLentengGala]

Hey Shane where can i buy one of these trucks?

[@user-gl9pt6rx5i]

Hello Shane, it's spherical pivot, not sperical bearing at 1mn.

[@shanelai2515]

Hey! It is indeed a spherical bearing that acts as the pivot cup

[@user-gl9pt6rx5i]

@@shanelai2515 yes just see it after, that's crazy on a surfskate truck, on see that on ldp trucks, thanks for the review!

[@user-gl9pt6rx5i]

only

[@rickdeckart8768]

@shane_lai is it better than the Grasp trucks, est-il meilleur que les trucks Grasp? , qui sont déjà meilleurs que les Carver CX.
