Independent 159 Stage 11 Standard Forged Titanium Truck (silver) 8.75"

Pretty good, 15% lighter than regular Stage 11 trucks, I notice that are lighter. Bushings have also lasted better than previous ones.

I bought these 159s for my 8.75” and 9” decks because I’ve been finding the Standard Stage 11 to be a bit too heavy for me when combined with a wider deck and often a longer wheel base. Close to 60 grams of difference over the standard Indie of the same size is definitely noticeable. I used to ride low Thunder trucks that are 5mm lower than the normal Indies and sometimes feel that the height of a standard Indie truck can be just a tad too high. These titaniums are 1.5mm lower than the standard Indie and I just feel that this alongside the lesser weight makes this a very nice truck for especially longer wheel bases and steeper kicks because the front is then easier to lift when you go to pop for your tricks thus requiring less use of force to get you off the ground.

Excellent flow, great control and stability, they are worth their price. I bougth 8.75" (222 mm) and there are no lighter trucks and its essential considering the size.
