Skateboard Cruiser Trucks
Cruiser Trucks to Complement Your Style
Regarding cruiser skateboard trucks, there are no fixed rules about which type to choose. You may opt for standard kingpin trucks, commonly seen on modern skateboards, or reverse kingpin trucks, typically associated with longboards. Nonetheless, most smaller cruisers are equipped with topmount trucks, which are fastened beneath the deck.
Trucks on cruisers are usually a tad looser than those on skateboards or longboards, allowing for swift manoeuvring.
How Wide Should Cruiser Trucks Be?
The general guideline for cruiser trucks is to select a pair that matches the width of your deck. Typically, this indicates that 150mm is the ideal size for the majority of cruisers, although there is the possibility of choosing larger or smaller sizes.

The decision on size is ultimately yours, but ensuring adequate wheel clearance is crucial. Oversized trucks may lead to wheelbite, resulting in a less pleasurable cruising experience.
If wheelbite remains an issue, contemplate investing in some Cruiser Skateboard Risers.
