Caliber Fifty V2 Trucks | Satin Smoke

Caliber Fifty V2 Trucks | Satin Smoke

Smooth, surfy and slop-free. The do-it-all longboard truck.

The Caliber Fifty V2 is Caliber's 50° reverse-kingpin longboard truck, the second-generation Caliber II, here in Satin Smoke. The 50° baseplate turns easily and carves deep, so it suits cruising, carving, commuting and freeride on full-size longboards.

The 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.

What Size Board Does It Fit?

As a general rule, longboard trucks suit decks within about 1/2" either side of the axle width. Caliber II trucks come in two sizes, and these are the 10" (184mm hanger) for full-size longboards.

The 10" is the standard longboard size and fits most drop-through and top-mount longboards.

About Caliber Truck Co.

Caliber Truck Co. was founded in California in 2010 with one goal: make a cast longboard truck that rides with the precision of something far more expensive. The original Caliber quickly became a favourite for freeride and cruising.

The 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.

FAQs

What size board do the Caliber Fifty V2 10" trucks fit?
Boards 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.

Should I get the Caliber Fifty or Forty Four?
The 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.

Can I swap the bushings?
Yes. 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.

Do I need risers with Caliber trucks?
On 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.

Do these come as a pair?
Yes. You get two complete trucks, enough for one board. Bearings, wheels and hardware are sold separately.
