really cool, love the new features ... Ryan: 10" 44° raked for "fast freeride and going through turns stand-up [..] going fast" Patrick: 9" 44° raked for "downhill and faster freeride [..] lean, I love the lean" Tom: 10" 44° negative rake for "low [..] most stable version, slides easy to break out into [..] for a fast freeride board" Tristan: 9" 44° rakeless for "faster freeride [..] turns more consistently" Liam: 10" 44° rakeless for "most stable, consistent for me [..] gives you more stability than a truck with rake in it"
*Bushing seat is Wider on Raked version, Rakeless has the same/similar bushing seat to previous version.* Important thing that specs don't mention on most sites, it affects ride feel and what bushings you may want to use.
Any tall bushings works for the raked 44?? there is not tall plugbarrels?? I got the Calibers v3 10 44 im looking to get some tall barrels but dont know what to buy any tips?
Love my Caliber IIIs! I've been running the 10" 44 degree, raked Caliber IIs and these trucks are all that and more. Being able to pull the shim for taller bushings is huge, as I like the big greens in the back. Still experimenting with different rake settings. I like the adjustability. More tools in the 'handling adjustment tool box' in a sense. 😁
Hell yes! Good video guys and gals, love this stuff! It’s great to see the quality and commitment to taking your trucks up to the next level. I know the community is loving it also! 👊 ❤️
I got a Comet Ethos 38 back in 2012 or '13 with Caliber 2s. It never felt right skating the shorter (for me) 24" wheelbase. This year I decided to finally try the narrower truck life picked up a set of the 9" Caliber 3s raked to throw on the old board. WOW.... Cal3s are probably the best cast truck you can buy, honestly probably trading punches with precisions. The plug bushing adds some serious stability and control. My main setup is 47* k5s on a larger 27" wb single kick. Skated the same setup for like 6 years now. However this new 24" WB board that I've never really enjoyed skating is quickly becoming my main. Really think the Calibers unlocked it's true potential. I'm excited to try more 22 - 25" WB boards since the 9" Cal 3r just feel so amazing on them. Good job making an amazing product that's getting me hyped to skate again.
I looked at the like number and was sad that it was so low compared to how things used to be from 2011-2016. I saw Liam Morgan and was astonished at how someone who came into the spotlight when still young and in high school has grown up so much (started to feel old cuz of that). The minute he said "Owner of Caliber Trucks" my jaw hit the friken floor. When and how did that happen? Also, great improvements to the trucks. I gotta get a new set now.
The rake really does add a feeling of flow and helps with connecting carves and being able to carve harder and deeper, it will feel like your style is improving if you've never used a rake truck before.
Did I hear that correct ? Owner of caliber ? This is news to me ! Fuck ya Liam and I'm hyped to see where the company is going definitely gotta try out these new thangs I'm still rocking my old 44 Cal's . But overall congratulations
We use to use the same type of pivot that every other truck company still uses. We now make them out of urethane which is a huge upgrade and not offered by any other cast truck company.
Have a set of the 157mm 44 Degree Raked on the way. I'm interested to see how they compare to my Gen 6 Bears as far as the rake goes. then the difference in the bushing seats. I run plug inserts in my Bear's and they're great. I'm hoping the Caliber are the same, but with a closed bushing seat to have the option of skating a great truck with an open bushing seat and a great truck with closed bushing seat, both being raked offering that same kind of greatness. Also looking forward to comparison against my Valkyrie MK3 which I find are still somehow comparable to/against cast trucks. I'm a little nervous about the shim for it being the major difference in the baseplates, but there should be a way to make that go away should I want to ride short barrels without it even with the recess for it stamped with no major complications so it's not too big a concern. and better than that the option for Tall Barrels exists to compare to Tall Barrel trucks moreso. Hopefully there's a way to extend the kingpin without harming the baseplate for use BS and RS for the thought of it making more sense, should the thought arise when/of changing out the bushings at all. They'll also be my first set of 90a Venom Bushings as I've primarily ridden Riptide until recently and find the Venom urethane to be a good kind of squishy with a little more give prior to their true duro being felt with the compression of the bushings themselves. They're weird, but nice. I'm also hoping the urethane pivot cup matches in quality to other urethane pivot cups so I don't find need to purchase a WFB, but that's probably going to be one of those things I have to overcome for the thought existing from previous experience with any OEM pivot cups I've ridden more than a quality thing. although the thought could be with reason as well. I should know within the next twelve hours or so when my package arrives. I don't believe I'll be disappointed for having watched their performance in the video I'm commenting on now and their seeming to be used on all their trucks and believing it to be accurate moreso for their telling of what parts they used for their clips. Sorry for the length of comment. No offense in comparing Caliber to another company either. Both make great trucks. I've ridden Bear more for at least seeming to like the rake more and even mixed a non raked closed seated Caliber 2 in the rear with their open seated raked truck in the front for a fairly unique feel close to flipping their hanger in the rear when skating split 50/40, but different at the same time. Good trucks are good trucks.
@@lolykebrtwv been with Aera and Powell, dropped powell and went with Blood orange, only a matter of time b4 his pro wheel is out and he's on Caliber, this is just my opinion.
I’m new in this world so I want to make downhill me day but for now I will start with free ride to learn how to slide in all possible ways but I don’t know which reference choice for my board so please help me to do a correct buy for star to learn correctly
positive rake = more turn, surfy feeling, negative rake = low ride height, stability, and less turn. you can get either by flipping the hanger on the Cal III R.
It's the opposite of positive rake. instead of more turn and surfy feel you get less turn, more lean, and more stability. it also lowers the ride height.
@@skatebloodorange9439 Nice👍 I really like how you explained that. Very helpful. Could you please also describe the Rakeless version of Cal 3 (or Cal 2) in the way you described negative & positive rake like turn, lean, surfy, stability, fast, slow, height etc. It will help me decide whether to get the raked or rakeless Cal. I'm particularly interested in learning to pump to propel.
Dude just put up a grid showing all 8 variations by width x baseplate angle x raked vs. rakeless and move on rather than list all 8 permutations one by one; had to stop watching the vid after a minute and a half in it was so tedious lol
really cool, love the new features ...
Ryan: 10" 44° raked for "fast freeride and going through turns stand-up [..] going fast"

Liam looks like he’s been hitting the gym.

Looks like he’s been hitting lines lol boy twitchy af
Damn Liam I’m so stoked that I can run tall bushings with these. I just bought 2 sets. You guys are the best.
thanks for the support fam.

Awesome video! Trucks looks lovely.

When and how did that happen?
Also, great improvements to the trucks. I gotta get a new set now.
Liam became the owner or Blood Orange, Prism, and Caliber in 2019! Thanks for the support!
THANKS all!:)
They should’ve got Zak Maytum to review these!
Good to see my favourite trucks getting raked versions.
You may feel stylish but trucks add nothing to your style, tho.
It lies in your heart
The rake really does add a feeling of flow and helps with connecting carves and being able to carve harder and deeper, it will feel like your style is improving if you've never used a rake truck before.
Wow ;) I have a previous generation :D and love it, santa cruz'n :D
Did I hear that correct ? Owner of caliber ? This is news to me ! Fuck ya Liam and I'm hyped to see where the company is going definitely gotta try out these new thangs I'm still rocking my old 44 Cal's . But overall congratulations
You heard that correct. Skater owned and ran skaters.
Wowwwww guys! Killing it I'll absolutely have to pick up a set and a half at least. Rakeless 10in hangar and raked 9in?
hold up, this mans donny is wearing some slip on running shoes
Can’t recommend the Walmart shoe section enough. Best 10 dollars I’ve ever spent.
You guys used to use plastic pivots??
We use to use the same type of pivot that every other truck company still uses. We now make them out of urethane which is a huge upgrade and not offered by any other cast truck company.
Wild trucks ong
Finally bought a 50° raked in the black bourbon
Very cool kanye
bout time kanye
sick
is there anyone else who directly ordered new pivot cups for his caliber II's after seeing this video? 😂😂
big upgrade for the IIs, thats gonna feel great.
@@CaliberTruckCo yeah you're right. they feel so fresh again!!
Liam looks like being younger than before lol
thanks
So are we going to get tall plug bushings?
Maybe! But for now you can run a tall bushing boardside and a plug barrel roadside.
cool
Will there be a lower base plate degree and shorter hanger option in the future?
With how popular the 44 degree 158mm trucks are, we might consider it.
@@CaliberTruckCo I second this idea. It would be great to have a cast option for split degree trucks!

Where cole trotta
He's on Aera, he only skates Prism boards and Blood Orange wheels.
@@roxx0rz he's with aera?! How have I not known this lol

Choose 44 degree 184mm for learning downhill!
what Cole Trotta uses ?
what are those white wheels?
Some prototypes from Blood Orange.
wait, so they using venom plug barrels roadside? i thought they're supposed to go boardside only :T but, yeah, why not i guess
We've tested using them both ways and it makes no difference.
Why cant I order one on the the website? It doesn't have any "add to cart" or "buy" option.
We only ship within the USA, it's probably because of that.
@@CaliberTruckCo oh ok ty for the information
What mean rake in this topic about longboard trucks ? I was found lot of meanings ( my mother language is Spanish) 😅.
positive rake = more turn, surfy feeling, negative rake = low ride height, stability, and less turn. you can get either by flipping the hanger on the Cal III R.
la vieja no necesita estos bebes
One of the scenes looked like Houtbay Cape Town ;?
Caliber III R Flipped is the same as raked?
so I am little bit confused ? the trucks for Dancing,freestyle,freeride are Caliber III Rakeless 10" 50 Degree or Caliber III Raked 10" 50 ?
🔥
What is neg racke
It's the opposite of positive rake. instead of more turn and surfy feel you get less turn, more lean, and more stability. it also lowers the ride height.

Leave questions here and we'll answer them!
What does axel offset do. Are they more or less responsive around center when 1st start to lean. Compared to zero offset.

I just can’t hear anything what Natalie says 🤪🥰 But it doesn’t matter, I trust you guys! 😀
Shut up and take my money!!!!!
This ones can actually turn????😂

Man can’t decide between caliber 3 and bear gen 6. Just getting back into skating. Have no idea if I should get raked or rake less?
