I'm getting pretty familiar with the high power return I get from those siesmic stable turn trucks in the rear. de wedged 5*
I was wondering how the virage rear truck compares on that front? Is it the same amount of return?

So are these trucks worth it compared to bennets / RTS or bennet / seismic ?

At first I thought it would be great not to have lots of angled risers so it would make the board lower.
But with 75 mm wheels you still need a lot of risers, right ?

i have 75mm on my virages and have only got tiny scuff marks from the front wheels and i think that was when someone else had a go on it.

A lot of the height is built into the baseplate therefore removing the need for a huge stack of risers

FWIW, I run 78mm speed vents and have had some very minor issues with bite using a 1/4" shock pad. I probably could have lived with it but added an 1/8" pad and now no problems at all. Deck height is still lower than it was using a wedged and shocked Bennett.

Octane Sports has posted some videos showing details about their trucks

Mine should arrive in the next weeks and these clips made me impatient Very Happy

I hope I will be able to run blue Venoms on front because I love how they feel but my Bennett destroys them too fast.
