ACE AF1 POLISHED SKATEBOARD TRUCKS
Price is for set of trucks (2 trucks)
The Ace AF1 is the strongest and longest lasting cast truck available. These trucks are manufactured using our proprietary casting process, which produces a stronger and tighter grain structure within the aluminum. AF1 come equipped with high quality suspension including hand-poured pivot cups and break in bushings, making these trucks ready to rip in no time at all. Each truck comes standard with re-threading axle nuts ensuring your axle never strips. As a bonus, an additional red re-threader die is included, keep it on your key chain and you’ll be a hero to a friend in need. Tested and approved by our team of Ace Pilots, AF1 is the gold-standard in cast truck technology, griding through burly ledges and pool coping has never felt so good!
