Grind King and Krux trucks
Grind King and Krux Trucks:

The Grind King G6s and the lower, shinier version of the Krux (the Down Lows) trucks are my favourite . The Grind Kings have got a non-slip axle, a nice design and you get the fancy coloured base plate (but I'm not too bothered about that).

They're just good trucks, they've got a solid hanger and I've never had any problems with all of the Grind Kings I've had and the same with Krux. The hanger on the Krux trucks are a bit more malleable and if you're doing, for example, a K-Grind on a flat box, you'll grind down to the axle faster than you would on Grind King, but it's a nicer grind with the Krux because it's a bit softer.


(Note: Grind King's are designed to turn loads and you can't really tighten them up much because of the soft bushing set up.)
