Valkyrie Mk4 Slalom Trucks is the 4th generation Slalom truck with a fully reimagined rear that’s built for high grip and faster hook-ups coming out of slides. The front truck gains a beefier upper pivot arm and super low friction UHMW-PE pivot that improves response.<\/p>\n
There’s a ton to unpack with the Mk4 slaloms, but at the core of the design changes was the desire to make something more race-oriented with a rear truck that grips hard and effortlessly snaps the board back after a slide. The team has been putting in work on the prototypes with a number of podium finishes in 2024, including 1st and 2nd in the KnK No Paws Down race (Jan Cuatrecasas & Ambroise Trauet) and the overall WDSC 2nd place by Andreas Bouclier.<\/p>\n
The rear truck features the first inverted pivot design which places the main pivot slightly behind the axles for suppier grip without any metal-on-metal contact. With an open bushing seat, the rear of the truck is centered with a Riptide Kore urethane insert for low maintenance and suppier durability. The rear truck can also accept a spherical bearing between the bushings for a snappier response (bushings need to have reliefs drilled into them for the spherical – Valkyrie made it easy and is offering them with the spherical being add-on).<\/p>\n
Rear base angles differ quite a bit between riders, so Valkyrie designed their truck to work seemlessly with their own 95a rubber riser and wedge kit (included. The 20\u00b0 base can be setup at 15\u00b0, 20\u00b0 or 25\u00b0 using either the riser or wedge, and all three options have the same ride height that matches the front truck!<\/p>\n
Lastly, we all know hammering out kingpins sucks. So, Valkyrie make it super easy to do by adding two M6 screws that clamp the kingpin in place and make it easy to remove.<\/p>\n
49\/20 bases with flat and angled risers for the rear
\n7075-T6 Aluminum hangers
\n17-4 Heat treated stainless steel axles for superior strength and corrosion resistance
\n303 Stainless axle spacers that wont crush and offer better corrosion resistance than steel.
\n6061-T6 bases with NAS\u00a0kingpins
\n303 Stainless cupped washers
\nUHMW PE Upper pivot tube + Riptide WFB pivots elsewhere
\nRiptide KORE 93a WFB urethane insert
\nWheelbite blocker for front truck<\/p>\n
+ Urethane pivot for front truck (high responsiveness of low friction pivot can be polarizing – switch back to urethane for a super stable configuration)
\n+ Extra arm hardware (just in case)
\n+ M5 allen wrench<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
