Bear Grizzley 852 & 840 8mm Axle Trucks
- Vendor: Landyachtz
- Type: longboard Trucks
The Grizzly’s have been designed to be the benchmark in longboarding trucks. A better, more exact fit and finish than other brands as it is gravity fed die cast in Canada. The axle is 181mm wide, providing a nice stable stance. The Grizzly’s come armed with red Khiro bushings, a barrel on the bottom and a large insert on top.
Grizzly’s will come set up to carve. Carve as hard as you want with more precision and control than ever before, they are super rad carving trucks.(57 degree angle).
When it comes time to start bombing and racing your friends, flip the hanger and you have a more stable down hill speed truck (The 47 degree angle paired with the 181mm hanger width makes for a stable ride).
How does this flipping measurement work? Well, the bushing seat is recessed in the hanger, and the bushing seat and pivot nub are angled. So from the middle of the pivot cup to the middle of the axle is 57 degrees for carving and flipped for downhill it is 47 degrees.
The 8mm axle means more flexibility in that you can use conventional bearings. But they aren’t as strong as the 10mm axle model.
For a more stable, and less agile ride, choose the 840’s. The angle of the baseplate and hanger is lower than the 852s, so is less likely to get speed wobbles. Ideal for speed boards.
