Independent Stage XI 139 Forged Hollow Silver trucks, pair 5mm tall 8” wide Hollow axles and kingpin, forged baseplate 90a duro Independent cushions included Independent Stage XI 139 Forged Hollow Silver Trucks, 8 Inch deliver ultimate performance in a super lightweight, mid-profile truck with hollow axle and kingpin. In its Stage XI series, Independent has made a great truck even better with an improved yoke design that protects the kingpin in grinds. Precision engineering in the XI series maximizes stability to keep the ride smooth at speed, allows for tight control during turns, and decreases wheel bite. The Stage XI Forged Hollow line improves on the design in three more ways. First, these trucks weigh 10% less as compared to the solid cast version. Second, the forged baseplates are compression molded to deliver more strength with less weight by maximizing density at the molecular level. Finally, the forged method of manufacture minimizes the flaws and defects that are most commonly seen in poured-mold baseplates. 53.5mm tall and 8 inches wide, these trucks include Independent’s own 90A duro cushions in orange.
