Why Some trucks are high and some low?
Low Trucks vs High Trucks They are actually axles made steel that can be either low or high depending upon the requirements of the skateboarder. Lower trucks provide more stability than high trucks to the skateboarder thereby giving him better control of the board.
What are high trucks?
High Trucks Usually, you’ll only see this labeled if the model you are looking at offers both a high and low version. High trucks give you a more responsive turn and a little more wheel clearance so that you can use bigger wheels with less chance of wheel bite.
What are mid trucks?
As the name suggests, the Independent Mid truck is slightly lower than standard Indy trucks – but higher than Independent Lows. With 52 mm height, we at skatedeluxe also classify the Indy Mid as a “mid truck” and recommend a wheel diameter of 53 mm or smaller.
How tall are low trucks?
Krux – Standard height trucks are 55mm tall, and weigh 335g. The Downlows are 52mm and are 3 grams lighter at 332g. I switched from Downlows to standards, and I can say that it’s basically unnoticeable. They turn and feel about the same.
What is the difference between a low truck and high truck?
Low Trucks are better suited to ledge grinds and general ‘tech’ skatepark skating. High trucks are better for turning as the truck can pivot further as the different geometry allows more movement. Larger wheels can be fitted without wheel bite, 53mm to 58mm, as the axle now sits further away from the deck.

What is a low truck deck?
Low trucks are, as the name implies, “low.” Because of this, the deck is closer to the ground, making the handling of your deck more stable. In addition to that, low trucks are lighter. However, the risk of wheel bites is relatively high, especially on softer surfaces and unclean landings.
What is the difference between a high and low skateboard truck?
The difference between high, mid /standard and low skateboard trucks is seemingly negligible. As it so often happens, however, the finer details are crucial. It all boils down to your body height and most importantly, the size of the wheels. The higher the truck, the more the tail has to be pushed down when popping.
