The 50° baseplate turns easily and carves deep, so it suits cruising, carving, commuting and freeride on full-size longboards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe V2 was rebuilt for tighter tolerances: a bigger inner bushing step for more rebound, a perfectly round outer step that fits aftermarket bushings without slop, a snugger pivot and a pressed-in Grade 8 hex-head kingpin. A new in-house heat treatment makes the trucks up to 40% stronger, and a reinforced baseplate stands up to hard riding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e50° baseplate:\u003c\/strong\u003e lively carving\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e184mm hanger, 10\" axle:\u003c\/strong\u003e standard size for full-size longboards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUpdated bushing seat:\u003c\/strong\u003e bigger inner step for rebound, perfectly round outer step for a no-slop fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRedesigned pivot:\u003c\/strong\u003e reduced chamfer for a snug, play-free pivot cup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressed-in Grade 8 kingpin:\u003c\/strong\u003e hex head, no spin or slop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUp to 40% stronger:\u003c\/strong\u003e new in-house heat treatment and reinforced baseplate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThinner powder coat:\u003c\/strong\u003e keeps tolerances tight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHanger width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 184mm (7.25\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAxle width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10\" (axle to axle)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBaseplate angle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50°\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKingpin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Reverse kingpin, pressed-in Grade 8 hex head\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBushings:\u003c\/strong\u003e 89a Blood Orange barrel and cone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heat-treated cast aluminium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e About 490g per truck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blackout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest for:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cruising, carving, commuting, freeride\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSold as:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pair (2 trucks)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Size Board Does It Fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a general rule, longboard trucks suit decks within about 1\/2\" either side of the axle width.

The original Caliber quickly became a favourite for freeride and cruising.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Caliber II, sold as the Fifty and Forty Four V2, refined every contact point: a tighter bushing seat, a snugger pivot, a pressed-in Grade 8 kingpin and a heat treatment Caliber says makes the trucks up to 40% stronger. Riders choose Caliber for a truck that turns smoothly, holds a line and stays slop-free for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFAQs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size board do the Caliber Fifty V2 10\" trucks fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nBoards about 9.5\" to 10.5\" wide, which covers most full-size longboards. The 10\" axle and 184mm hanger line up with wide decks. For narrower boards, Caliber also makes a 9\" (160mm) size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShould I get the Caliber Fifty or Forty Four?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Fifty (50°) turns more for the same lean, so it's lively and carvy for cruising, carving and freeride. The Forty Four (44°) is calmer and more stable at speed, so it suits downhill and fast freeride. Many riders run a Fifty front and Forty Four rear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I swap the bushings?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes. The V2's outer bushing step is a perfect circle, so standard and oversized aftermarket barrels and cones fit without slop. Go softer for lighter riders or more turn, harder for heavier riders or more stability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need risers with Caliber trucks?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nOn drop-through boards and decks with wheel wells, wheels up to about 70mm usually need no risers. With 70–75mm+ wheels, loose bushings or flat top-mount decks, add a 1\/8\" to 1\/4\" riser to avoid wheelbite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo these come as a pair?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes.
