Mbs matrix pro handling

I’m just starting to use these mbs matrix trucks but it seems no matter how hard i lean it only goes straight. Is it the egg bushings that stop that?

Even if you removed the bushing and springs you can’t turn if the trucks are mounted level.

Do you have them mounted to a flat deck?

Look at the truck design haha if you hold it flat, there is no way for it to turn

The board will just tilt in place

Never said i was smart lolz. Normal trucks don’t needto be at an angle. Didn’t study these enough i suppose

I had my matrix 2 trucks on a 20° tipped deck and just switched to a 30° tip deck yesterday and the turning is a world of difference. You will be much happier with the new deck!

Anything that turns will be an improvement lmao

Street trucks are already at an angle, typically 50 degrees. Mountain Board trucks are at 0 degrees because most mountain board decks are 20-35 degrees at the truck mounting position, which put the trucks at whatever angle the deck is.

Look at Kaly or Colab decks if you want some epic.

I’ve been following that project but told myself I’d never get burned on a crowd fund again :cry:

Looks like a sweet deck. Interesting if they actually get boards out in August…

I like the colab a lot. Was a bit too pricey for me though. Let me know your thoughts on it in the good place

Finished the swap… too tired to do a real test ride… feels like a magic carpet… so wide

Looks like a dream to ride! How wide is the dw2 vs the colab?
