Skateboard Cruiser Trucks
Cruiser Trucks to Match Your Style
For cruiser skateboard trucks, there are no fixed guidelines on which type of truck to choose. You have the option of standard kingpin trucks, which are common on contemporary skateboards, or reverse kingpin trucks, typically seen on longboards. Nonetheless, the majority of smaller cruisers feature topmount trucks, meaning they are attached beneath the deck.
Trucks on cruisers are frequently somewhat looser than those on skateboards or longboards, allowing for swift turning.
What Size Trucks Are Suitable for a Cruiser?
The general advice for cruiser trucks is to opt for a set that matches the width of your deck. Typically, a size of 150mm suits most cruisers best, but it is feasible to select sizes larger or smaller than this.

Your choice of size is entirely personal, yet it’s crucial to ensure ample wheel clearance. Having excessively large trucks heightens the risk of wheelbite and can lead to a less pleasurable cruising experience.
