Paris

Buck

Randal*

Bear*

Gunmetal v2*, Calibre

Levels of restrictiveness increasing downwards. The trucks with the * next to them means they don't shorten your wheel base.

If they're not available you can just get Calibres.

All I can say is that I have skated all those trucks, liked all of them, run sabres. 

*slightly false - I've only had brief experiences on the buck and gunmetals. Though there wasn't anything I didn't like- just some I liked more.

I haven't run my Sabres on a topmount YET, but....given the gangster lean you get out of them I'm thinking wheelbite is more likely to be a problem.

 

James, you really can't go wrong with calibers. They will do everything you need them to do and more. Just grab a set from Hopkin and get their advice on a good bushing setup.

I run sabres on a wolf shark with a 1/8" riser pad. I weigh 60kg. 86a cone/ 88a barrel sabre bushings. I don't get wheel bite but only just barely.
