So I finally got the krux 5.25 and had a little session to try them out. They are the Pyramid Country ones (forged too). I didnt used a painted pair of trucks in a couple of years but they were on sale and I found the graphic funny so I dont mind it that much.
First impression is pretty positive actually. I changed the bushings for the medium indy ones I was using before and they felt almost broken in instantly.
I ride medium/loose trucks (I guess) and they turn quite good and are responsive. They felt some miliseconds slower than my old indys but I think it is because the pivot cups are new still, nothing that throws me off tho.
The turn is deep also, not as deep as the old indy's but I think it's because the kingpin yoke is not worn out as much. On the Krux is still perfectly round and on the indys is almost oval because of the use (see below), so when I make sharp turns the krux stop at a point when the Indys can go a little deeper, but not a huge difference, they still turn great.
They are a little higher too, at 55mm, when the indys (forged light ones) were like 52 I think, and even with new 53mm wheels I couldnt get any wheelbite at all. I was landing some treflips on my front trucks that should had stopped and I kept rolling no problem. I actually feel that I was popping stuff higher too.
I only grinded the skatepark metal ledge, so I cant really tell how they grind but they felt really smooth.
All in all I had a quite good session for a "new trucks session" so I'm stocked on them.
