rode ben's today, one of the nicest trucks i have ever ridden in my life, he was running 45 and the lean you get is huge, they turn on a dime but felt rock solid bombing around the parks in the city, just a really good feeling truck, imagine a buttery randal with tons of lean

They are awesome. The slide is just so great and they lean foreverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr with 45 degree plates. Still awesome and carvy with the right bushings and nice and solid at light speed that is flagstaff and fitzy. They way they are designed just makes it so there is little to no slop. The only slop i get atm is from the wheel cores, but they're old kryptos so any common wheel these days should be pretty much solid.

I have a set of 45, 200mm and they're by far my most favourite truck. With the deep bushing seats they are so easy to customise. Double barrel for stability, awesome for downhill and a barrel/ cone combo for a much more carvy feel but still stable and solid.
As the Ben and Sean said they have heaps of lean and when you ride them they just feel right. Ive ridden quite a few different trucks and there is always something that just doesn't feel 100%. Not with these
Hangers have a 3mm rake so are flippable. I'm using them on my freeride deck atm with a cone/ barrel combo with a much softer duro than I normally use and They are great, so smooth. I am buying another set soon

I was thinking of getting a 200mm set with a 45 degree baslplate and flipping the hanger and chucking on some venom DH bushings 90a boardside and 85a roadside. i was also thinking of putting these trucks on a 09 avenger deck with some 4prez... anygood?! haha

Last week Both Dazthecowboy & I had a Skype session with Wayne Gallipoli (owner of Surf-Rodz) who was showing us all the new models he is working on and also his current range. We will have reviews of Surf-Rodz products up on the SSL site soon.
The beauty of the 200mm truck is the ABS plastic Surf-Keey that sits in the hanger. This acts like a spherical brearing and keeps the Kingpin central within the hanger reducing all slop. However the the downside with spherical bearings in the bushing seat is they tend to lift the Bushing where as The new Surf-Rodz ABS surf-Keey stops this from happening, making sure the bushing stays flush and lean really is translated into turn.
Surf-Rodz has a massive factory, Over 60 thousand square feet and as a result of their huge operation are able to supply CNC Precision trucks at a much cheaper price than others and yet there aren't many that can produce such a nice truck! The trucks are available in so many different colours, lengths and Base plate angles. There is even an adjustable base plate model.
The Axle System has the beauty of allowing you to increase the axle width and there is no thread on the axle where your bearings sit.
I cannot find a truck anywhere that has as many qualities as these and that have so many high ranking reviews.
