THE 5X TRUCK

24 Years In The Making

Snowboarders Tested and Approved

The independent hanger arms allow for a deeper carve that rides like no other board on the market. The rebound of the springs absorbs impact and helps dampen vibrations. Designed to help first time riders master edge control. Tricks previously thought impossible are now within your reach.

YES! BUTTERS

Say hello to your new favorite Trick.

Do you like jibbing and park tricks? Well, the 5X Trucks change everything because of the way they disperse weight across each individual edge wheel. This opens up the doors for butters and a whole new world of tricks we’ve yet to even scratch the surface.

NEW TERRAIN

Your Resort just got bigger.

A huge benefit of the 5X design is that the springs smooth out the ride over rough surfaces and dampen vibrations making for one of the smoothest rides ever. Spots that you haven’t looked at are now possible to ride.

HANGER

Independent Suspension

Each hanger arm is now capable of compressing independently from the others. The new system helps dampen vibrations and absorb impact to create a smoother feeling ride.

New Geometry

To capture the feeling of surfing powder we decided to implement a wider turning radius. With these trucks you can really dig your edge in and make deep carves.

Springs

The hanger arms are spring loaded. Getting started has never been easier or more convenient. Upgrades include soft/hard springs.

EZ-blocks

Featuring the EZ-blocks to swap out springs with ease.

DEVELOPMENT OF THE 5X

Initial Concept

2017

After years of atrocious, Frankenstein prototypes we landed on two independent hanger arms revealing the potential for new tricks.

Functional Prototype

2018

Working with a product design company we developed a functional prototype that surpassed our expectations and felt incredible when riding downhills.

Incremental Prototype

2019

We eliminated the plastic components used on the previous prototype and started testing the internal mechanism for split castor system.

Refining Prototype

2019

Seeking validation of the new product we tested the prototype with our pro riders on some of the best hills in San Francisco and Switzerland. It was absolutely necessary to gain feedback from both top-tier riders and our community.

Design for Manufacturability

2020

We listened to the feedback from our existing riders and made minor changes to the geometry. We implemented the EZ-Blocks to make changing the springs easy for all riders. The design of the hanger arms were optimized for doing flat ground tricks.
