Apex Boards - UK Storefront

Would you says the Airs handle larger rocks like these good in terms of not disturbing your vision? :smiley: Currently using Trucks from the T and my vision literally goes blurry when riding over those rocks with 30km/h. Can’t see shit.

also not sure what hardness i’d need for speeds up to 60km/h while still being somewhat maneuverable like i currently am with barrels in the inner position at 100kg-

They’ve transformed the riding for me in my local area. I can ride all the rocky paths that used to shake out my fillings with the mbs/3ds trucks. I normally just run the medium or soft/medium. I’m getting over 90kg now. Lee and Q also ride medium and are both over 90kg…
If you’re gonna hit higher speeds it’s worth balancing the wheels. I probably don’t hit more than 55kmh without balancing wheels though.

I’m 115KG as of today :confused: and yeah I run the standard setup (which is what we ship all airs with now)

They do massively help on the rough stuff, it’s why we called them airs!

I don’t think I’ve ridden anything that rough yet to offer a 3rd person opinion on if :joy:

Balanced they are. Ride from today:

on what max speed?

To clarify, i only ride my 60km/h on long flat, smooth roads that i know.

When i’m offroading i’m in the 20-35ish km/h

go figure haha

The fact that I haven’t really seen any airs on the second hand market probably speaks for itself.

Ima hit mark up and ask what speeds he’s hitting with them. Guess i have to save up money real soon, even if it can only be the front truck for now.

@poastoast has run his Airs well over 40mph if I remember rightly.

I think so

@poastoast He just showed me his bushing setup on T yesterday

Yeah I’m gonna be seeing how mine works soon too. Board will hopefully be going on its first test ride tomorrow. I’ve got the default white-white on it right now though

Default config for sure. Anyone that buys them we strongly suggest they put some miles on the as shipped config and plays with the Kingpin tightness. If you can’t get what you need then it’s time to look to different bushings.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts dude

Riiight. You’ve got Krank on there so tightness affects the ride a lot, correct?

I’m excited!

Yes correct.

Essentially you want the Kingpin at least snug, a loose kingpin will turn the trucks into a wobbly mess, you will see what I mean. You want to start with them snug and adjust from there. If you end up loosening the kingpins too much you then need to look to adjusting the duro or the combo of bushings.

In my example I ride the standard setup normally, if Im going to the track I swap the fatcones out for white barrels. I tried it double white cone and it’s outrageous, I rode the track like that for a few laps but found it to be too loose for me. Its something I think you should try just for the lols, it’s like a pair of DKP.

Interesting, yeah I need to at least pick up a set of barrels because I’ll probably want that roadside for my commute, I usually average between 20 and 35 during that

That’s funny with dual cones haha I actually like DKP for certain things

I do 35mph on the standard setup no dramas although my board is geared much shorter these days. Ive done 38mph when I had the old moon drives and 190kv motors on there. Like I say play with the standard setup first, I don’t think you will need to change the bushings between off road and commuting. I only change mine for the track as we have a super twisty track

Sounds pretty ideal!

There was a video showing the airs doing gods work while wiggling. Does anyone know where it is?

Low key miss my Airs. Best off road trucks I’ve tried! Maybe I’ll build another MTB after this 20s beast I have in progress :thinking:

I think it was on Lee’s or Apex’s instagram story at one point
