San Leandro, CA – Skate Industry News: Krux – The “Holy” Grail Of Trucks

Krux is a truck company that is all about having fun! These trucks are no exception. Krux Trucks are made with the fun and joy of skateboarding in mind. Their design features a low and rounded kingpin for less hang up. Less hang up results in smoother, cleaner and more landed smith grinds and feebles! 

Often, when people inquire about truck brands, they ask about the unique design feature of Krux Trucks. They have a hole. The hangers a la Krux aren’t poured in quite the same mold as the others, as you might see. But why is that?

Surely it is not because the forgery ordered the wrong parts. And if they had, they (NHS) surely would have corrected the mistake by now… Of course, these two statements are true. The distinct hole in the truck design gives a quirky flavor to the brand that loyalists seem to love. Is the hole there for holding an extra hardware bolt? Does it exist to create the perfect echo during your crooked grinds? Or is it just an ode to ice fishing? We suspect none of the above.

Though they may might not have the Thrasher ad space of their sister (brother?) company Independent Trucks, Krux are at the crux (see what we did there?) of innovation. When the hole is exempt from the aluminum pour, the structural integrity isn’t compromised. Yet… the hangers of the trucks are lighter and thus, easier to lift and flick while skating your local loading dock. -Skateboards.com
