You want to buy a Carver Skateboard but not quite sure which truck you should get?
Here’s some info on the differences between the C7 and CX trucks.
The C7 is Carver’s signature surfskate front truck. It has an incredible amount of pump and turning radius, with a spring loaded swing arm that allows the nose of the board to sway slightly from side to side, with slightly wider and more stable turns than a CX truck. Basically, it feels more like a twin fin to ride, but has an adjustable spring you can tension or loosen to vary your ride.
The CX is Carver’s reverse-kingpin surfskate front truck. It has more pump and tighter turning than any other reverse kingpin truck on the market, but without any extra parts. It has a similar feel to the C7, allowing you to snap your turns from the tail and pump effortlessly for speed. It is more responsive than a C7 truck, with a lot more play in the tail, similar to a quad fin!
We’re finding customers who come into the shop and try out the CX and C7 on our demo boards are now split 50/50 on which type of truck system they like the most!
