I don’t see any reason why PKP would be easier to bend.
Having a fixed pivot cup shouldn’t have any effect on how much torque the kingpin sees.
Its the bushings that are torqueing the kingpin.

Yeah they do. I would love to try them.

I’ve been wanting to see somebody do a truck like that, 3 bushing layout, with a single pin to push the stack down.
My take would have been ty try something more like this:
I’m thinking this could give more side to side stability.
But those etoxx have something else going on, they don’t seem to have any bushing seats at all boardside.
Assuming the roadside bushing is normal size, then the boardside bushings would be massive.
And on top of that, their roadside bushing almost looks like it’d be acting as a spherical joint, it may not even be contributing meaningful resistance at all. Just there to keep the hanger in place for the boardside bushings.
It would really be relying on that kingpin to be fixed in and not move at all.

Believe he uses 2 elastomere dampas a skate bushing, with 3 king pins and spherical bearings. The bearings would stop the hanger parraleling the deck. That angled design looks funky af, might make a mock up to see how it would ride.

This is exactly what I was going to come say
250 miles here with no inkling of how I would be able to bend a kingpin on my airs

Over 5h of air time. Acceptable.
