Caliber II Forty Four 184mm Satin Gold longboard trucks

Caliber II Forty Four 184mm Satin Gold longboard trucks

**Price is for a set of TWO trucks**

The Forty-Four Caliber is built for speed and our choice of truck if you want to go fast.

There are so many fatures that make this truck stable at speed. The obvious one is the baseplate is 44 degree and lower than a normal 50 degree baseplate. Trucks come standard with two 89a barrel Blood Orange Bushings. These are the 2nd generation trucks, and here are all the improvements:

UPDATED INNER / OUTER STEPS ON BUSHING SEAT 
- The new Inner-Step provides an increased contact area with the bushing, resulting in dramatically higher rebound and overall responsiveness. The Inner-Step diameter has been adjusted to 25.4mm to eliminate all slop. 
- The new Outer-Step is now a perfect circle with a 31.5mm diameter, creating a perfect no-slop-fit with oversized aftermarket bushing combinations.

PIVOT WITH TIGHTER AND UPDATED CHAMFER 
- By decreasing the pivot cup seat chamfer, the surface area of the pivot cup in contact with the baseplate has been increased. This creates a snugger fit for the pivot pin and prevents side-to-side play as the pivot cup breaks in.

CIRCULAR KINGPIN HOLE WITH UPDATED DIAMETER 
- The diametre of the kingpin hole has been updated and now provides a consistent and uniform lean, while also allowing proper clearance to avoid kingpin bit on the hanger.

INCREASED TRUCK STRENGTH 
- With a new in-house heat treatment process Caliber have been able to strengthen their trucks by as much as 40%.

PRESSED-IN GRADE 8 HEX HEAD KINGPIN 
-All slop and play has been removed by switching to a pressed-in kingpin. 

REINFORCED BASEPLATE 
- Baseplate has been reinforced by thickening the metal towards the kingpin. This provides increased strength and resistance against high speed impact.

THINNER PAINTS FOR TIGHTENED TOLERANCES 
- Powder coats are very thick and can throw off tolerances and effect overall truck performance. The new Calibers use a thinner paint system that has virtually no impact on performance.
