Na secret. The name and new suspension will be revealed with XP3 which we’re assembling currently.

Good - that means no one can copy you until you’re selling it, good moves

I feel like Jacek might be on here.
I wonder how those two boards differ in ride feel.

Is it just me or does it look like it would be very hard to turn?

It has a lot of similarities to the propel endeavor truck design except you can switch the deck out.

I have a slightly older Tomiboi deck/enclosure bought on the forum. These trucks would look great on it!

It looks beefier to me.
Harbor freight never disappoints.

Moe - this is awesome. Please tell me this project is still alive…

I wonder if they’ll sell them without the deck and battery.

Let me chat with Eric after the lunar new year holiday is over and get back to you. There is definitively aftermarket potential in this product.

The propel trucks were prone to every failure in the book. the bushing retaining thingy could even break, allowing your trucks to overextend and dive in a weird way. Control arms would just break. everything seemed like it was made of chinesium.
I’m pretty happy to see a better version of their design concept come to market. I’m not the biggest fan of acedeck because of how I was treated in the short period of time I was doing repairs for them, but this is pretty cool stuff.

It’s an interesting design, but there sure are a lot of parts to break. I’m def interested to see how they hold up for people. I wish someone like 3DS would take a stab at something along these lines.

Id love to see how compact someone can make a suspension truck. The ride height on these looks pretty intense because they just combined a channel truck and the suspension by stacking them
That does seem to be the challenge. At least there’s great ground clearance. You can do an under mounted enclosure without any problems.

In pics, where the suspension is unloaded the deck looks really high, but in the video, when the deck has someone on it, it’s not too bad. It compresses a lot.

The height seems OK after someone steps onto the deck. It is an AT board so ground clearance is a good thing.
Here is an idea for road-specific suspension, instead of parallel aluminum arms and a shock, how about composite/fiberglass leaf springs? It would be made to have short travel of about 1cm. Just enough to take the edge off and improve road contact.
Here is an example of this technology used on bicycles. Cars have used leaf spring technology for years.
“The springs on the Lauf Grit 3rd gen are made of super strong S2 glassfiber that is extremely tough on hits and flexible in the direction of the travel. The springs have been “shocked” in our test lab over 1.500.000 times reaching 22mm amplitude every time.”
