Oskis New Truck Brand

[sweet pee]

Two-axle system? The close up pics look pretty interesting. Pricing is displaying weird, as it is giving 92 Euros for Spain and $91 for the US.

[Dan Gerous]

It looks like the axle has a bigger diameter, then machined to the smaller normal diameter where the bearings sit, making the inside integrated speed washer... but two-axle system? Does it mean each sides are independent shorter axles and grinding will go through the hanger itself but never see an axle? Would that be strong enough?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Weight, height and prices are not that bad though. Including shipping to Canada, it comes at about the same price as Thunder Hollow Lights bought locally, before taxes.

Hopefully the QC is good and they come out with more sizes sooner than later, personnaly 55mm is a bit too high to take the plunge.

76€ for a pair of trucks is cheaper than indy hollows and ti's in europe. Fair price, amazing weight, 55mm height is awesome. Too bad I just set up new trucks, would love to try them.

76? I see 92€

I'm really bummed that only came in 2 sizes 139 & 149, was expecting sizes for bigger boards. I guess I would have to wait until the next drops.

Looking on them from Switzerland and the website is showing me 76€ (+10€ for shipping when I look at checkout).

[tom]

im seeing $91 USD

which brave soul is going to guinea pig them without any wheelbase info?

fuck it. I ordered a set. They won’t get to me until sometime in October or later. Will report back when I get them and set them up

$102 shipped to the US, that's almost double truck prices here.

[layzieyez]

I'm sure dudes will buy in even at that price. If you're buying performance pivot cups and precision washers, the asking price isn't that steep.

[Dan Gerous]

They're much more competitively priced outside of the US.

I was reading about Rheocasting, maybe that's what allows them to not have diagonal bracing of the hanger. Instead of normal casting, the shape is formed at a lower temperature, right between solid and liquid and cooled more slowly while stirring it. Apparently, it makes for a more compact molecular structure, less porous parts and more precise shaping. According to Wikipedia, the advantages are:

Complex parts produced net shape
Porosity free
Reduced shrinkage
Excellent mechanical performance
Pressure tightness
Tight tolerances
Thin walls
Heat treatable (T4/T5/T6)
Good surface finish

High consolidation pressures are used to produce high integrity parts, and temperatures required to die-cast semi-solid metal are lower than normal casting; conventional tool steel materials are typically used in production applications. Other advantages include ease of automation, consistency, production rates equal to or better than die casting rates, no air entrapment, low shrinkage rates, and uniform microstructure.

they probably skate similar to ace trucks i imagine

[Murge]

Def gonna pre order. As long as my gf don’t kill me for it. I’m rationalizing the price by I spent 70$ on af1s that was a flop and nothing to write home about with QC issues and no real improvement at all over the classics. This has new tech it seems not just the same shit with different jargon a la ace. 2 axle freaks me out a little cause I’m 6’1 225ish. I can see my ass breaking them. But the intergraded  washers new casting the (assumed)quality  plus the weight makes it about an Indy ti. With a little more than Indy ti pricing with again assumed better qc and quality coming from Sweden not China. Fuck it. Before we had my son I spent more than $102 at a bar on a night I can’t remember. So this price seems fair to me. That’s with shipping to the US. With out shipping it priced competitively  with trucks of its weight and tech.

Reposting info from the other thread.

Info on site for the 149 if anyone’s interested. They are lighter than Indy standards if 354g. I’m super curious about how they change WB and what the “two-axle system “ is.

Well, I guess it’s time to flip the script. It’s always the Europeans paying 1/3 more on top of trucks. Regular indys are like 50 dollars in the US and then 70 in Europe.

I think the price is fair if you put all the things in context. its made in Sweden, it has some new tech on it, actually lighter than an Indy forged hollow of the same size (it’s like 10g lighter) and retails for basically the same price (85 to 90€ Price range on the indys). It’s also a new brand that doesn’t have big volumes, that makes it extra hard to make a competitive price. I bet that profit margin looks like shit.

The shipping you added doesn’t count too, that’s a factor you’ll always pay no mater the brand. And actually, 10$ to ship it from another continent sounds really reasonable. So yeah, price seems fair to me.

where does 55mm lie on the truck height chart?

hmm. thats tempting. I like* the height of indy standards, but not the weight. Gonna wait for Toms report back. Thanks!

[augustmoon]

i'm down to give these weird trucks a try. 

[BugleBites]

Move over Kreper - your longstanding place as king of the ugly trucks with a bad name has come to an end.

Not even close. Lurpiv is kinda odd but spelling a word wrong that already has a negative connotation is way worse imo. These definitely dont look as bad either. Idk if i love or hate the way they look yet, but i do know they look better than krepers.

[Xen]

As light as a 149 Indy TI (so we're already lighter than ACE here), [probably] turns like an ACE/Indy.

I dig the dual axle concept; assuming it's one solid piece and milled down to provide that inner speed ring (I don't think there are dual axles in there with no support in the center that shit by design would fail).

The only thing I knew about rheocasting was that the process works with the aluminum in a semi solid state (think clay) which yields fewer defects in the casting process and less entrapment of air; it's tech that is being used/looked at for EVs. EDIT: also the machinery used is smaller

If they were lower than 55mm I'd try'em.

[DeepSpace9mm]

The inverted kingpins and bushings are for sale in the hardware section.

[Murge]

I took to insta like a man to ask about how lurpiv affects wheelbase. I feel like such a nerd.

Everytime I’ve talked about truck wb’s outside slap people look me like I’m crazy, I guess that is not that common as we like to think here

It wasn't a complaint exactly. I was sort of posting pricing for anyone to lazy to click through. I also think the price is justified for what he is offering and size of company.

As far as the shipping, $11 is very reasonable for that level of shipping. However it's not always an up front factor like buying direct from a brand. If I go to a local its just already tallied in to their price. Take Indy for example, they are $51.90 + $5 for shipping. At my local they are $53 out the door. In this case shipping is not a factor, because I can't simply go to my local and get a set of Lurpiv. But for all other brands I would certainly factor shipping into the overall cost.

[white guy in a durag]

I'm super down to get a set when I get back from my work trip exodus. Rest assured you will get all the nerdy measurements assuming that no one has beat me to the punch.

[layzieyez]

Since it looks to be a thicker axle machined down at the ends, does the additional structural strength of that thickness mean grinding on the axle is possible?

[kenjiro]

I think these will do better in europe because of the price. There’s no way in hell i’m paying 100 dollars for a pair of trucks - from europe or not. Does not make sense to spend that much for a product i have no experience with.

Those prices are weird, for me that site says shipping is  25€ (29dollars) to Finland.

[manysnakes]

The trucks are cool, but what's really interesting is seeing a concerted move away from America and American brands in the European skate industry. I'll be curious to see what else Lurpiv comes up with.

[Xen]

Those kingpins look fierce! Tall nut too. ‘Looks’ pretty sturdy. Especially like how they skipped the Allen key altogether resulting in a lower profile hex head (looking at you Indy)....
