Zealous x Earthwing Downhill Trucks - Exclusive Colorway
Zealous x Earthwing Downhill Trucks - Exclusive Colorway
We here at EW have been stoked on Zealous products as long as they have been a thing. The bearings they offer are second to none and as soon as they released the downhill slalom trucks, we were fully on board. Our excitement led the way and we reached out to Zealous to ask about doing an exclusive color way option to pair with our race completes. A few months later and this amazing light blue on black is what we came up with. We are starting off with 20 sets with no immediate plan to reproduce. They are available now with purchase of a performance Hoopty R complete or on their own!!
READ ZEALOUS' DESCRIPTION BELOW FOR FULL SPECS AND DETAILS:
"With years of testing, tweaking, and trial we are finally releasing the Zealous Downhill Slalom Trucks. These trucks are designed specifically for racing and fast freeriding. The front and rear hangers and baseplates were designed specifically to work together to get as much grip as possible while still being able to hold a smooth controlled slide on grippy downhill wheels or freeride wheels. The front hanger design is based off of our old school Zealous Trucks but with a bunch of added rake and adjusted bushing seat making them very nimble and controlled at speed. The rear hanger also has a bunch of rake and has a very slight positive kingpin offset allowing for better grip and control through corners. The bushing seats were designed to have progressive resistance the further you lean making them very comfortable for fast freeriding. The bushing seat also has a soft stop to help keep you from wheelbiting.

*Anodized trucks look awesome right at the start but be aware that anodize can wear off when they get blasted by sand, salt and rocks while skating at high speeds. If that is something you are worried about you should probably get the raw hangers."
