Suspensions of longboard trucks

Image
There are many longboard harness manufacturers on the market today, and they offer a huge range of harnesses for all riding styles and a wide variety of styles and designs. Most often, there are two types of suspensions on longboards: traditional (  TKP from the English traditional kingpin  ) and reversible (  RKP from the English reverse kingpin  ). Traditional: Traditional  harnesses are used in skateboarding, slalom and small cruisers. Their characteristic feature is that the central bolt (Engl.  Kingpin  ) directed inwardly with respect to the suspension hangers (Engl.  Hanger  ).
