The 50° Paris V3 Trucks are everything a longboard truck should be - playful, lively, smooth, and strong.
The V2s were super popular after featuring on Loaded setups for many years, but it was time for an upgrade! They've strengthened the hanger by adding more material to the barrel and shoulders, as well as reinforced the baseplate with an additional support beam to increase strength and reduce acute stress to the area.
The urethane components of the new Paris have also seen an upgrade since the V2. The top cone has a new shape, a "domed cone" if you like, that offers support and rebound. The baseplates now come as standard with hand-poured 96a urethane pivot cups which provide an ultra-smooth turn.
If you're looking for a softer or harder bushing, Orangatang Knuckles are a straight swap in - designed 100% for Paris trucks and poured in the USA with premium urethane. Orangatang Nipples are the double barrel alternative. If you need yet more choice, Sabre bushings are 1mm taller in the cone. They squeeze in just fine, and feel great.
This is just one of the many colours for this truck - if you're looking to jazz up your board check the full collection here.
The 180mm/50 degree combo is the most "all round" that suits most longboards, but that's not to say its your only option of Paris truck. They also have hanger widths of 150mm and 165mm to suit smaller boards, as well as a 43 degree baseplate. If you're looking to get pumping, its well worth thinking about a 50 degree up front and 43 in the back!
