What about using them for off road, from the sound of it they might be good for off road usage where you need the trucks to move alot with little effort.

@MichaelWA I got around in the woods better with these than anything ever before.
And I’m on a giant LaCroix Deck with no bindings.
The turning and super lean really shine in the woods.
Focus on the battery box to see how much the deck leans with these.

I’m noticing the friction with the pivot cups? you can kinda feel it grabbing at certain points. Maybe its because I’m treating the board like a boat idk. Riptide kingpin bushings would be pretty sick
I’m really liking the lower rear angle. I’m running them super loose, but it feels so stable. Mid 30s are easy peasy

That is a good question, sooner than later is my hope.

What are you running now?
35 front (lacroix) and 10 rear. I’m probably gonna print a rear wedge and get it to 15 rear, it feels a lil dead at low speed. I also loosened by bushings today, found that much more reasonable. Still feels kinda dead, it doesnt just carve super effortlessly rn

also, I was wondering what bindings would feel like, but i kinda came to the conclusion that it would be fairly pointless unless my only concern was to make sure I stay on the board, and I dont wanna glue myself to a 55lb board. I can pretty much full turn the board without too much effort

Took me a while but we finally got a chance to do some testing on these. Super fun! I love the fact they expand the range of Matrix III turning resistance into a whole new area. I’ve passed full testing results to Brad, but a quick summary of where I’m at is…
I like stiff set-ups so I focussed my testing on 96 and 93.
C in the front with 30 degree angle.
D in the rear with 15 degree angle.
I ride with bindings and heel straps and prefer a stable feel for jumping and speed. Although I wouldn’t personally want anything looser than 93C/D, I can see that the singularity would really shine when riding without bindings, and in that case a looser set-up would be ideal.
I’ll get some to Dylan tomorrow. I think he’s going to dig them.

Wow, we are so stoked Joel, thank you! Joel has suggested a new shape for us to try that may eliminate the A shape and / or replace the C shape. More on this soon!

Here is the new shaped proposed by @MBS. Thanks Joel, for filling in the blanks!
@JustNeL and @bearlyrecognized posted the wrong picture earlier, sorry.

I have a 45/15 split using the KranK 93a B up front and the above C2 in back. Super nice progressive ramp up in resistance with nearly zero preload. I will run a 90a set which I think will be more suitable for my weight and loose riding style at 180 lbs.

Am I the only person running these at similar angles?
The LaCroix deck is 35/30 supposedly.

My Lacroix Prototipo is 30 front and back and I added the 15 degree wedge and de-wedge from MBS.

Seems like it? It felt a bit twitchy until i got a big split. Im definitely settled on this setup, just hit 250 miles and it’s really opening up now. Practicing my super chad stance and front standing carves at lower speeds, it’s getting there. Don’t think i can ever go back to a less leaning setup. Doesn’t feel boaty anymore, it reminds me of my pintail
Already trying to find a way to get this feel into my other boards that aren’t really compatible with this size trucks. Gonna mess with some setups. My tangent on cx trucks is the closest analog deck i have setup… i wonder if i can pump my singularities?!? Gonna go try tomorrow lol
