| Ok so this is my first review. I haven't seen any reviews on here for Ytrucks so thought i might as well do one. Details: LOOK: These trucks look amazing. they have an awesome engraving and they are nice and shiny. They also have a very nice shape. 9.5 /10 Durability: The bushings on these trucks are outstanding. They can be extremely tight and not get squished. But the only problem with ytrucks is the paint wears of the top EXTREAMLY fast. In the first hour of seshing the paint had come off quite bait on the top. I Have had these trucks for about a week now and i haven't had any worries about these trucks breaking they are very strong and durable. 8.5 /10 Craftsmanship: These trucks are amazingly well crafted, they have threaded baseplates and strong everything. The craftsmanship on these trucks are amazing and PERFECT 10 /10 Performance: Ytrucks perform amazingly. The bushings are extremely nice and very durable allowing you to ride tight or loose trucks you can ride these trucks as loose as you want because of the spectacular king pin. The trucks have amazing auto block nuts so your wheels won't fall off. There is a HUGE difference between Ytrucks and china trucks that you can easily tell. They also have an extremely smooth grind. The trucks just feel right while you ride them. 9.9 /10 Overall: These trucks are amazing but a little pricy. But defiantly worth the buy. These trucks will actually help a lot. 9.5 /10

| NICE! I agree w/ most of it , but my ytrucks' paint lasted forever. it wasnt until i used it on unfinished granite that it started to wera away. what were you using it on? and btw, after a while, one of my kingpins came loose, idk why. so i had to use titelock, or just buy new ones |

| Pretty nice review. Reviews are always good if you add in lots of pictures with different angles of the product. I had 3 pairs of Ys but never reviewed them because I thought it was a pretty common product that most people knew about or there were plenty of existing reviews. I don't think the paint is actually a problem. Although the paint on my Matte and White ytrucks came off rather easily, my Black Ys seemed to last a bit and they still looked new when I traded them away. However, I still stand by my point that paint coming off is not a problem. All trucks, including skateboard trucks will do this and it's just part of the way a standard skateboard functions. It would be an issue if it came off really easily or if it flaked off but from my experience with Ytrucks, this doesn't happen.
You could also include in extra information like the width being 29mm, it has a nice plastic box that protects the trucks and includes small stickers in the box with larger sticker(s) outside the box, you can choose the bushing colours and also you will get some torx head mounting screws and 2 torx allen keys for the kingpin and the screws.
Ytrucks are definitely pretty awesome and I prefer them over BRTs. |
