Tensor skateboard trucks are the invention of Rodney Mullen. For all you who do not know, Rodney Mullen is the scientific brain child behind skateboarding. He basically has determined the type of boards, wheels and trucks street skaters would ride back in the early 1990s. He has always been designing skateboard products for years now and Tensor is the latest release.

Tensor trucks are known for their turning geometry and lightness. Tensor trucks feature an inverted kingpin. Another feature are their slider nubs (or nibs depending on who you talk to. These are plastic inserts that extend past the front of the truck. This allows for smoother and quicker nose, blunt, and tail slides. The idea here is that instead of rubbing metal on metal or metal on concrete where you will experience a high amount of friction (and potential hang ups), you will be sliding plastic against metal or concrete.

I would highly recommend tensor trucks. They are very strong, not too heavy, and very durable. I have had a couple pairs of tensors, and they really are amazing. They really stood through everything, a lot of grinding, big drops and all that. They're just amazing overall

these trucks are great looking. but performance wise they're pretty lame. i had one pair of them and the axles bent. i got another pair hoping that the new ones would be better..... they were'nt. im not a big guy so its either bad luck or the trucks are very weak

Tensor trucks are almost the best trucks you can get! Definitely one of the best giving performance you can get out of trucks. The material they use on these trucks, are just amazing! These things almost never dent nor chip, and they are nice for any kind of skateboard, coming in all sizes and tons of different colors and shapes. These trucks are just the best trucks you can get, hard to describe, but just go buy them and try them for yourself, they are amazing!!!!

Tensors are great trucks they ride well and grind good, they slide really well because of the plastic slide pieces but when they wear out it costs lots to replace.But they don't wear out quickly compared to other trucks and are pretty light, i'd buy them again any day. Tensors are great trucks. I'm big into tech tricks and these trucks are the best for that kind of stuff.

tensors are the best you should get them if you wana skate light trucks. I had my tensors for 4 months and still good as new. I suggest you get these trucks now if you wana skate like a pro.

haha tensor is ok, but personally i dont like the truck, i think theyre week and they suck, ive had a pair of them before and they broke, the axles bent, and the holes where you put the hardware in broke, so get these trucks if you like, but just personally i dont like them

Tensors are great for technical street skating. They are responsive, have a smooth grind, and are much lighter than the average truck (especially theyre new magnesium model). If you skate big gaps frequently, durability may become an issue as these trucks are designed more for technicality than impact. However, if youre a technical skater these are the way to go.
