PRODUCT DETAILS
This is Carver's hybrid surf and skate truck. On the one hand it's a lightweight standard Reverse King Pin hanger and base, on the other it has a patented geometry that squeezes every bit of turn and pump from its simple design. That means that you can pump this truck like a C7, but it lands airs and rides fakie with more stability as well. This opens up aerial maneuvers, and keys in with the latest progression of airs in surfing. This original Carver design is quickly becoming the most popular surfskate truck in the world.

Frequently Asked Questions
What deck size and wheelbase work best with the Carver CX Surfskate Truck Set 6.5 Raw?
The Carver CX Surfskate Truck Set 6.5 Raw performs best on decks measuring 9 inches or wider to align with its 9-inch axle width and prevent toe overhang. Because the front truck geometry alters the effective standing platform, pairing this truck set with a deck featuring a 15-inch to 17.5-inch wheelbase provides the ideal balance of stability and tight turning responsiveness. This combination allows riders to generate speed efficiently through pumping while maintaining control in skateparks and bowls.\n\n
How does the Carver CX Surfskate Truck Set 6.5 Raw compare to the Carver C7 and spring-based surfskate trucks?
Unlike spring-loaded swivel systems like the Carver C7 or YOW Meraki, the Carver CX Surfskate Truck Set 6.5 Raw uses a lightweight reverse kingpin design driven by patented baseplate geometry and polyurethane bushings. This solid construction offers greater stability for landing aerial tricks, popping ollies, and riding fakie without the risk of front-axle jackknifing. Additionally, the lack of internal springs or thrust bearings makes the Carver CX Surfskate Truck Set 6.5 Raw low-maintenance and highly durable against impact.\n\n
What components and factory specifications are included with the Carver CX Surfskate Truck Set 6.5 Raw?
The Carver CX Surfskate Truck Set 6.5 Raw includes a CX.4 front trucks, a C2.4 rear truck, two 3/16-inch gasket riser pads, and 1.5-inch black mounting hardware. Built from heat-treated A356 T6 aircraft-grade recycled aluminum, both trucks feature a 9-inch axle width and a 3 5/8-inch height, supported by a manufacturer lifetime guarantee on the hangers and baseplates. The setup comes stock with 89A durometer bushings, using dual conical bushings up front and a conical top with a barrel bottom in the rear.\n\n
Can you adjust or replace the stock bushings on the Carver CX Surfskate Truck Set 6.5 Raw for different skill levels?
Yes, customizing the bushing durometer and shape on the Carver CX Surfskate Truck Set 6.5 Raw allows riders to adjust turning resistance to match their body weight and riding preferences. Swapping the stock 89A bushings for softer conical bushings enables lighter riders to achieve a loose, fluid carving motion with minimal effort. Conversely, installing stiffer barrel bushings or tightening the kingpin nut increases stability for higher speeds and park riding.\n\n
Is the Carver CX Surfskate Truck Set 6.5 Raw suitable for skatepark riding and surf training?
The Carver CX Surfskate Truck Set 6.5 Raw is designed as a hybrid system that excels at both surf training and skatepark transition riding. Its geometric design allows surfers to generate down-the-line speed and practice rail-to-rail carves on flat pavement or pump tracks. Simultaneously, its solid reverse kingpin construction gives street and bowl skaters the structural confidence needed for dropping into ramps, coping grinds, and aerial maneuvers.\n\n
