I'm not the best with this but the geometry of an indy truck makes it turn more? I think. I dunno,

Standard trucks feel good to some people. They usually only perform well  for DH with some modification, be it bushings and/or wedging. They respond to rider input quicker then after the quick initial turn they kind of respond slowly if at all. RKP trucks are much more linear in their response from rider input. Both are good, they just do their goodness differently. Anyone else feel free to elaborate

RKP's have a linear feel, every bit of lean you give results in an even amount of 'steer,' whether that be at the start of the turn or at the end

VKP's depend a lot on the geometry of the truck, some feel really linear (trackers) whereas some feel real divey (steer a lot for the first bit of the lean, then the more you lean, the less extra steer you get, such as indy's). Generally, bent pivots feel more linear, wheras straights more divey.

Never really got why people use indy's as a DH truck, a set of Darts seem much more suitable, but eh.
