Pick The Right Size Trucks!

Each skate truck manufacturer sizes their trucks with different number models. Reference the skate truck size chart below to find the most popular models’ widths.

“What width should my skate trucks be?”

Your skate trucks should closely match the width of your skate truck — a margin of plus or minus 0.25″ is acceptable. So, for example, a 7.5″-wide deck should be paired with a pair of trucks that measure between 7.25″ and 7.75″ wide.

Skate Truck Bushing Hardness

Skate truck bushings come in three hardness ranges: Soft, medium, and hard.

Soft bushings measure between 78a and 85a. These bushings are great for street cruising and carving. They’re soft, and provide good damping over rough roads.

Medium bushings measure between 86a and 95a. These bushings provide a good, happy median for street, transition, and vert skating. Most skaters prefer medium bushings that measure between 88a and 92a hardness.

Hard bushings measure between 96a and 101a. These bushings are best street skating and landing technical tricks.

If the hardness of the bushings isn’t listed on a truck’s product page, chances are it’s probably a default hardness of between 88a and 92a.

Low, Medium and High Trucks Available

Skate truck height can influence how your board handles. Want more stability with a low center of gravity? Running a pair of small wheels for technical trick work? Grab a pair of low trucks.

Want extra deck clearance for big wheels? Focused on cruising and carving around town? Get extra leverage and turning ability with a pair of high trucks.

If the trucks you’re looking at don’t specify a height, they’re just standard height — a good in-between that’s generally compatible with most skate wheels.
