PERFORMANCE




A simple and revolutionary idea, generated by an engineer with 18 years of experience in polyurethanes and skateboard wheels.

A combination of worldwide skater's expertise, US and European raw materials and brazilian creativity. It's UpTrucks, Urethane Pro Trucks, a one-piece elastomeric truck, with many advantages over its conventional predecessors invented in the 30s.

It was developed through exhaustive field tests with hundreds of skaters after 3 years of development and exhaustive tests

What are UpTrucks main advantages?

Weighs less than a conventional truck.

Makes sharp turns with no wobbliness at higher speeds.

Better grinds because there is no kingpin and the hanger is larger, avoiding hangups. No kingpin, no hangups. 7 mm wearing thickness on aluminum hanger.

Better impact resistance and dampening, avoiding injuries. Non-slip axle.

Smooth and noiseless and maintenance free. There are no interchangeable parts since it is a one-piece truck.

Best memory! Perfect original position recovery.

With our new Anti Wheel Bite Device, wheel bites are a thing from the past! You won't believe  how it works and how good it is!

In our Lab, we have developed a fatigue test machine that simulates the movements that stresses the trucks while riding.

The machine frequency is  35 cycles/min. One cycle corresponds to one turn to the left and another to the right, until the hanger touches the anti wheel bite device. An average street skater rides at an average frequency of 60 cycles/hour (considering resting time), 6 hours or 360 cycles/day, 20 days or 7200 cycles a month.

Uptrucks were submitted to more than 90,000 cycles without any crack or tear, keeping the original stiffness. That’s a lot of sessions! Wearing due to grindings, impacts and environmental attack, influence the fatigue and the life expectancy.

The life expectancy of an Uptruck is at least the same offered by conventional trucks.
