Radikal Talon
Hi all.
I was just wondering how the Radikal Talon goes as a downhill truck?

I'm not too sure but I've been eyeing a set for a while. The adjustable hanger width would make them super versatile.

They are without a doubt the twitchiest DH truck I have ever ridden. They are the best carving truck on the market but at speed they dance all over the road. They don't wobble, they just dance. When Aki von Glasgow (sp) used to ride them guys used to think he was a mental rider, turned out he was just staying with his trucks and following their path down the mountain. I have 2 sets of these and they are the absolute best LDP trucks available!!!!!!!!

There is a way you can help to avoid the twitch.
Trouble is they're designed for Radikal bushes, which are very difficult to source. The radikal bushes have the radiused inner hole which clears the sph. bearing in the hanger and presses around it supporting the hanger at rest rather than having no support and that twitchy feel down the straights.
Most of the time though they do require a substantial amount of preload which means you need the full range of bushes for adjustment rather than just loosening off your trucks.
Can't waith to get my Van Demons made because I have addressed this problem, making any bush suitable for use.
