I've never tried Krux trucks. Please help a brotha out.. sell me (or don't?) on Krux. Using the big 3 as comparisons, as that's my usual suspects (albeit lately, I'm more Venture vs Thunder). Only other trucks I've tried in my years were Tracker Ultralights in 1987, Royals in 99 or '00, and Tensors for like a week in 2002 or something.

Krux rating overall 1-10: a solid 7 for me
They turn okay very similar to a venture but better and they respond almost like a thunder and feel sorta like a less surfy Indy, like if Indy’s we’re trying to be thunder is how I would describe it
In control and responsive but still trying to be surfy,Carvy, turny
I use to ride the downlow forever back in the day when small decks ruled but then I tried the new krux revamped with the new bushings and styles for this era of skating demand and idk, they aren’t as stable as old version
They hated being that truck that didn’t turn I guess so they started doing this soft bushing that don’t turn and updating the hangar shape so it’s got more clearance but I feel like they’re not as good as the old version and that’s why Louie still rides his old krux 3.5 tall
If you ride your trucks medium to tight you’ll be okay, if you ride or prefer loose trucks maybe even medium loose I wouldn’t recommend
They just lean when you wanna crave leaving you in that stuck position of doom, if you ride medium to tight like me they’re really decent trucks almost as good as thunder with response
They do this thing so when you land awkward and try to save yourself by leaning and turning/riding it out but you only get the forgiveness of leaning sloppily with no turn/ride out
Like what those loose trucks guys do, they just land the trick even if it’s sloppy but some how loose trucks saves lives and they ride it out landing hard on one side of the board and leaning and turning that way and re stabilizing after getting balanced, Indy’s, aces, and I think even thunders let you have that loose truck forgiveness
Krux tried to implement that in the truck and your life will not be saved for they don’t turn that hard and deep
