The 50° Paris V3 is everything a longboard truck should be—playful, lively, smooth, and strong. Unbelievably strong. The V3s are produced using our new, proprietary alloy forming process, which utilizes techniques derived from casting, extrusion and forging. This gives the V3 a molecular structure that provides strength far beyond any other cast truck on the market. The new manufacturing process also allows us to use a true T6 heat-treatment, offering further durability. We've redesigned the hanger's barrel and shoulders adding more material, and reinforced the baseplate with an additional support beam to increase strength and reduce acute stress to the area. We've even modified the kingpin making it tougher and more resilient. Even the urethane components of the truck have been upgraded! Our top conical bushing's new shape offers improved support and rebound, and the baseplates now come equipped with hand-poured, 96a urethane pivot cups, which provide an ultra-smooth turn and return to center.
