Carver Skateboard - 33" Fraktal

C7 TRUCKS The latest model in Carver's signature series, all of our years of riding and research have been put into this patented surfing machine. The extra lateral movement of this front truck loosens up the nose of the board for unprecedented snap, and it effortlessly drives you forward with every pump. The smooth arm rotation rides on a 1 5/8" precision thrust bearing set, and the heavy-duty internal spring has a wide range of tension adjustment so you can thoroughly customize the feel of your ride. If you want a surfboard you can ride on pavement, this is the truck you put on it. CX TRUCKS Carver's Patented front truck, designed to create the same handling characteristics of surfing, but in a lighter, simpler configuration. Five years in the making, it's the solution that bridges the gap between a standard truck and our revolutionary C7. What we wanted was a truck that shared the same sharp turning and lateral thrust as the C7, but was a little stiffer, so it felt familiar to skaters who weren't prepared for the extremely surfy feel of the C7 but still wanted to snap their turns and pump for speed. By using a steep, forward facing kingpin and setting the axle a little farther back, we've managed to loosen up the geometry to give you unprecedented maneuverability. Riding fakie is much easier on the CX than the C7, as it is a much more stable truck, but we still recommend it as a front truck only. On a shorter board it pumps fast, tight turns with ease, and on a longer board the quick, solid handling opens up performance so you can surf hills and banks with unprecedented fluidity and control. RADIAL WHEELS These 65mm wheels are ideal for street surfing. The soft 78A durometer urethane grips the road exceptionally well, but with a nice breakaway point for slides and speed scrubbing. The center-set bearings allow you to rotate your wheels for even wear, extending their usable life. MAG WHEELS The 70 mm Carver Mag wheel is the culmination of years of riding and testing to find the best wheel for carving. They are made to perfectly suit the high performance surfskating you get with a Carver. The design starts with a square-edged profile which increases the contact patch on the road, increasing grip dramatically so you can really dig deep into your rail. Next we created a fairly stiff edge, so when you are powering into a pump the lip rebounds energy back into the turn for more speed. The lip profile of the Mag wheel is thicker near the outer edge with a deep side-cut around halfway towards the core, giving the stiffer lip a little spring loaded flex, increasing grip and thrust into turns while preventing a softer lip from bogging down. And finally, they are center set for anti-coning rotation and double-lipped grip. These are the smoothest, gippiest wheels you can ride on your Carver, and are great for cruising.
