Independent Stage XI Forged Hollow Silver

Independent Stage 11 Forged Hollow trucks in Silver are the gold standard (or shall we say silver standard) for skaters seeking top performance. These are genuine Independent Trucks Co. products, so you know you’re getting that famous stability and turn geometry that Indys are loved for – they turn smoothly and predictably, perfect for carving bowls or cruising the streets. The “Forged Hollow” model takes it up a notch: the baseplate is forged aluminium, which makes it both lighter and stronger than the regular cast baseplate. Combine that with a hollow chromoly axle and a hollow kingpin, and you’ve trimmed a significant amount of weight off each truck. That means quicker response under your feet and less weight to pop when you’re ollieing, all without compromising on strength or durability. These Stage XI (11) trucks have a refined design compared to older Indys, including an 8-hole baseplate (to fit both old and new school patterns) and a slightly improved kingpin clearance for fewer hang-ups on grinds. They come stock with Indy’s medium-hard cylinder bushings (90a) that give a nice balance of turn and stability, but of course you can swap in your preferred hardness easily. The finish is classic polished silver – it matches any setup and ages nicely through use. Many skaters swear by Independent’s motto “Built to Grind,” and with the Forged Hollows you’ll grind with more confidence and a touch less heft. If you’re looking for pro-level trucks that deliver on both strength and lightness, these Indys are the answer, trusted by countless riders around the world.
