Mad, hopefully they bring out new components aswell.

Well looks like the TK Pro will be sporting re-designed Matrix trucks with what appears to be some pretty thick and colored springs.

BgSurfer · 01-28-2010, 07:13 PM

Did you notice the trucks are reverse mounted? The top trucks also appear to ride much higher.

This makes me think the deck may have a greater than 35 degree tip angle. Unless of course those trucks aren't mounted on a deck.

looks like they copied ground on the bottom graphics by keeping it plain and tried to fuse GI torsion cubes with springs.

McCarver · 01-28-2010, 07:20 PM

It looks like there is something in the middle of the trucks right, i was wrong about the colored springs though. I was trying to compare the trucks to other images, they dont seem to be reverse mounted.

In that picture, the axle is to the rear. Are we looking at the front of the board?

McCarver · 01-28-2010, 07:23 PM

no that is the inside of the back truck, click the link to see the whole board.

it looks like the top hanger is smaller than in the past too? Like more square? Not trying down MBS, but honestly, it looks like the original torsion cube trucks on steroids and springs.

McCarver · 01-28-2010, 07:28 PM

Well I would hope that if the top hanger was made out of metal that it wouldnt be as big as the plastic ones. And if you remember right the original MBS hangers werent that big to begin with. Maybe BG got his wish and the springs will be shorter like on the older boards although it doesnt appear to be the case.

BgSurfer · 01-28-2010, 07:39 PM

I no longer want the short springs. I am after a complet re-design now -- ultra-light.

The major MB manufacturers will never make what I am looking for. They are to busy making C and D width shoes for the masses -- one size fits all.

If I come into a small windfall, I will contract with a machine shop/manufacturing tech class to make some proto-types for me.

Devin Garland · 01-28-2010, 07:40 PM

They did something esle... There is no extra room between the egg...

McCarver · 01-28-2010, 07:41 PM

So the carving will be stiffer Im guessing, but if you back up the adjustment screw that shouldnt be a problem. Are the springs the same length as last years models devin?

McCarver · 01-28-2010, 07:43 PM

What else can you tell us? What is that sitting between the springs?

Devin Garland · 01-28-2010, 07:44 PM

If they where smaller you never know. the trucks are the same just the hangers have changed really keep up with the times..

Explain please...

McCarver · 01-28-2010, 07:47 PM

I think he meant the space inside a spring where the egg can freely move up and down if you dont have the adjustment screw cranked down.

Devin Garland · 01-28-2010, 07:47 PM

What they did is made the egg flush with the cups the added a bit to the top truck to make the eggs work like they should be there is no more need to modify your eggs and make them bigger to fit the trucks the trucks fit the eggs.

There is so much more tho, I don't know what I can say about it..

McCarver · 01-28-2010, 07:49 PM

I actually like that extra room, it makes it a lot either to start your turn, feels like you are cutting into butter. That is one part that I dont like about trampadampas and the new GI inserts, they both seem to be for freestyle riders and not the hill cruisers in mind. Maybe MBS increased the size of their eggs to keep up with the competitors.
