Independent Polished Stage 11 Standard 139

Compared to the Stage 10, a difference between day and night. The axles steer much faster compared to p.10 (similar to ACE trucks). However, they are very stable at high speeds (see p.10) and do not wobble (if you drive them relatively loose). The material of Stage 11 works better (see p.10), i.e. the axles wear out a bit slower on grinds, but grind faster and smoother (see p.10). The significantly lowered kingpin is definitely an improvement worth mentioning as well (compare to all other axes). In short: 5 stars and a definite buy recommendation!

There are no better axles!Perfect steering behavior!Very good grind behavior!Very robust!I recommend these axles to anyone who drives a lot of Transition!But also for Street they are very well suited.However, for technical street skating you should not buy them because they simply already have a good weight that you notice in the technical street skating I think times.The axles are in my opinion what for people who drive much transition. And from time to time Street.

In my opinion, Independent axles are the best on the market! I bought them because they have been around forever. They are heavier than other axles with the same width, but therefore all the more stable. The steering rubbers are also good. However, I have exchanged them for the Hardcore Bushings from Bones. But this is not mandatory and can be decided by each himself. The axes are recommended from beginner to pro actually everyone who is looking for a stable and durable axis.

The axles have a very good steering response, look sturdy and solid and have a comfortable height. They are slightly heavier than many other axles, but when skating the difference is literally NOT at all important. The only thing that bothers are the steering rubbers, which I have replaced with Bones Medium Bushings, because these are the best steering rubbers ever. Nevertheless, the axles get 5 stars, because I had to change so far in axles always the factory-mounted steering rubbers - standard steering rubbers are simply not good, warp quickly and tear. All in all super axles, therefore buy!

Awesome trucks but even better customer service 10/10.

I bought a pair of indy titanium trucks in the US, and had them shipped by a family member to me while I'm living here in Japan. About 5 or so months in, the axle snapped while skating flat. I was extremely surprised and kind of disappointed since they are on the expensive side. Once that happened I contacted the customer support about the issue. Within a day or less, Jose responded and helped set up the process for getting me a new set of trucks here in Japan. Not only that, about 4 months later he also helped confirm whether the trucks I had purchased here in Japan were legitimate indy trucks. The customer service from him is amazing. He is extremely helpful and super quick. For this reason alone, I will continue buying Indys and recommend them to friends. Keep up ... MoreI bought a pair of indy titanium trucks in the US, and had them shipped by a family member to me while I'm living here in Japan.

You are awesome at what you do, and provide a real value to this company.

Dude... what can I say,

Dude... what can I say, they're indy titanium lights. They are the perfect weight, height, grind. They are extremely responsive and help get a more forceful pop since the are an offset axle truck. They are perfect for any skater. Indys are the best in the game and if you disagree, I'm sorry but your opinion is invalid. So in all honestly you could never go wrong with indys but it can always go better especially with the titanium lights. Stronger and thinner forged baseplates, stronger and lighter titanium axle, hollow king pin, perfect turning response, perfect pop response. Come on get yourself the best or be square.

I loved the Independent stage

I loved the Independent stage 11 Forged Titanium Silvers about as much as the Stage 4. Independent makes solid trucks. Cant go wrong. The turning was awsome. I loved the weight. Right out of the box they were good to go. Put them on my deck and skated them. Making minor adjustments here and there to get them dialed in. As a skater its what is lived for! Thanks. Here’s my current set ups.

Light trucks for everything

I went down with board size, so I had to get new trucks as well. After years of skating with mostly thunders, I wanted to try Indepedents. I skate a lot flat ground, slappys and ledges so I wanted to get light ,but strong trucks. For board size 8,25 I chose 144 Independents.I have bee skating these trucks now some sessions at my local park and spend some time in the streets as well. They turn really fast, which is nice but for me it will take some time to get used to it after skating Thunders past years. Shape of the hanger is really nice for the grinds and the reach from the baseplate compare to you're axel is also very nice for nose and tailslides compared to the other trucks. Big plus is also, that these trucks don't make you're wheelbase longer.So far I have ... MoreI went down with board size, so I had to get new trucks as well.

Highly recommended!

Review of Independent Stage 11 Skateboard Trucks - Raw - 149 mm

After just 3 days of skating them, I'm already sure that my first pair of independent trucks won't be my last.If, like me, you like carving bowls/transition and pumping into your turns (even on flat sidewalks), these stage 11 raws are for you. I prefer a heavier truck, but if you don't then consider the other stage 11 models (hollow, titanium etc.) which are lighter than the raws.I don't do many grinds so can't talk on how they work on rails, slappys etc. but these are the most responsive and smoothest turning trucks I've used (started skating over 20 yrs ago and hadn't tried independents until now).The orange bushings which came with the trucks feel great and I've no desire to swap them out out.Thanks Skatehut and Independent!

The original skate trucks. Can't

The original skate trucks. Can't go wrong. The top cup washer is cutting into the cone bushing a little bit. Maybe the bushing had a little extra material that could have been trimmed off. I'll have to watch it and see, hopefully it doesn't cut into the bushing any further and require a replacement. It is happening on both cone bushings.. I bet it'll be fine though.Otherwise, well made and can't find a flaw, still getting 5 stars. Nuts are good quality hardware.
