new video of 2022, and its a lurpiv review? banger year fo sho (won't take for granted)
You know it’s a good day when Matt digi has a new post
Facts
Yessir it must be a banger 🤝
the deck you’re skating has a 14.5 wb. i think the lurpivs match indys interns of wb (extended), while the af1s shortens the wheelbase. try the lurpivs on a deck with a shorter wheelbase. i’ve gotta set on a 8.5 hockey with a 14.25 wb and them shits fuck heavy. in-terms of the loose nuts their customer service is providing replacement standard king pins
no idea about wb on lurpivs but indys and ace af1s both shorten the wheelbase. ace classic lengthen wheelbase and thunders do too
@@janitor9just compared the wb’s of the 149 lurpivs, 55 af1s and 149 indy stage 11 standards. the lurpivs sit slightly in the middle between the two
Lurpiv is also a brand new company first run of there trucks! So they deserve some slack
My skate tool was able to tighten them perfectly well. I found the trucks to be too loose and they needed a half turn on the front and one turn on the back.
The nuts are metric, your tool is standard American. I’m sure the thread pitch is different also, so by sticking the ace nuts on those lurpivs you probably just cross threaded your axle and nuts.
Not how that works 🤦🤣
If they used the same shaft nut technology the indy mids and k5 krux used it would prolly help bec they are jus an inverted kingpen krux had the same problem before tho the process was slower basically the same situation jus different periods of time
That’s exactly what I told customer service. Feels like I’m back in 2016 with a pair of krux k4’s
Indys are the best trucks. I can never get used to how sharp Ace trucks turn.
Indy's are delayed Ace's are immediate
I like the way they look
i agree they look dope asf
Have you ever try film trucks ?
Anyone know how long their shipping is (Cali is where I’d have them shipped)
My experience is anywhere from 3-12 days
Anyone else not able to smith/feeble a round rail with these trucks? The king just digs in the rail, also they made em so you can’t change out the kingpin or bushings with any other brand on the market.
8:08 damn man all of my trucks have done this, except Royal lows over a decade ago. My current indies are the same bullshit, ive tried different bushings, boiling em, whatever. Board acts like a damn bumerang after a failed flip, coming back to me after an U-turn.. What can i do?
Are they lighter than tensor mag or thunder titanium? What would you compare them to in terms of weight?
i'm pretty sure they are not, they should be about the same weight as indys hollow
How long did it take for you to get them, I ordered them a month ago and havnt got them ?
u should probably contact them
How long did yours take to ship?
thank you I'm no longer gonna spend the 90 bucks and get a pair ill stick too my venture royals for now tell they develop more cheers to oksi but i wanna try them more develop ! can you get a size for 8.5 or they don't make 159?!!!
149 is 8.5, 149 is their biggest tho
@@MattDiGi ;.(
@@stewartlinton7825 apparently they are going to eventually make 159s too.
U should try glowing wheels if u could find any
Aren’t they inverted?
The nut fit my too idk y it didn’t work for urs
Box is legit af
Skate Indy mids. Has reverse king pin. And they are great.
Or skate KRUX dlks
What about the giveaway
“That nut is definitely to big” 😳😳😳😳🤨🤨
...like ALL of them... 😉
Those trucks look like a robot hammerhead shark.
gifted hater the goat
you FINALLY changed ur trucks lol
,,Thunder no limits " bro
Every new truck brand has an adjustment period.
you seem like you wanted to dislike these from the start
If I'm not mistaken everywhere else uses metric so ig the sizing off for the nuts. I could be wrong but it's something along those lines
they are swedish that could be a reason for the bolts i dunno tho
Great breakdown Digi. 👏👌😎
I enjoyed your video and for sure your point of view is valid, but I gotta say that I don't agree with most of the comments made in this review. Not trying to say that you're wrong, but I'm just gonna share my two cents about these trucks based on my experience…
I got some Lurpiv 144's 1 month ago (I also own Aces and Indys to compare), and the first thing I noticed is how well they turn and how deep they carve while feeling really stable.
Bushings felt amazing and broken in from the get go (or at least really close to, and I’m riding them in German winter time).
In my opinion they turn better than Indys and as good as Aces, just in a "different" way. Ace’s are a super fun truck but can feel like a balancing board at times, being too wobbly and unstable. Indy’s feel more stable and “surfy” but dont turn as deep. Lurpiv’s feel like the perfect middle ground IMO.
I had a few friends asking me to try my set-up too (cause everyone is curious about these trucks), and I always got the same impressions: They turn super well but don’t feel loose/wobbly. Most of them ride Aces actually now that I think of it.
The grind fell is great aswell, which you agreed on. Those things glide in any surface I tried them yet, street or park.
They are indeed a Tall truck tho. I almost feel like they are a bit higher than they advertise but I haven’t measured them to back up this claim.
This hight takes some time to get used to and I feel like it might be the main factor that made you not enjoy them as much. The pop might feel off/delayed on the first few sessions cause it takes a bit longer to hit the tail, but it’s muscle memory that you quickly build. I got used to it fairly quick.
One good thing about the hight is the minimal wheelbite. I swear this is the less wheelbite I ever experienced.
You can make really deep turns without getting pinched off your board.
The only issue at the moment that people seem to have is the kingpin loosening up. I think flipping the Bottom nut of the kingpin will help them stay tight, cause the Nyloc will engage first and that allows you to get them looser without unscrewing. Lurpiv will also send you standard kingpins if you face this issue. Tbh I only noticed it unscrewing once, but I’ll be asking for the replacement ones anyway. Lurpiv’s costumer service is top notch from everything I’ve seen and experienced yet.
Also, on the Axle Nuts topic, they are not too big, they just use the metric system instead of the American one, cause they are made in Europe and this is the standard sizing worldwide, only the US uses a different scale. I was still able to tighten everything with the kingpin side of my tool, even if it was a bit of a loose fit but still worked fine.
There is for sure some fine tuning needed that is currently being addressed and fixed (I hope) but I gotta give credit to Oski and his team. This is still the piece of skate gear that got me more excited on the last few years.
To be honest, I don't really think they hit a homerun with this product at all. And it's still just an underwhelming early Indy clone anyway. The pivot cup design is the closest thing to innovation it has going for it (although the idea isn't new either) and the other problems do seem to outweigh in the end, making this a fairly mediocre product. The absolute last thing you'd want is a truck that jams into a turning position causing you to (probably) wipe-out hard. This very much is a design flaw of the trucks. Sorry man, but this company gets no brownie points for being new to making trucks or having the right intentions. I'm sure their second or third truck will be loads better than this. But so far... I'm going to avoid it. I will agree with you on one point though... people have the weirdest opinions about how 'trucks do not turn well', when in fact they do. I see this all the time when people talk about Ventures and Tensor trucks. I own and skate both and they turn amazingly well. Also one of the most stable trucks around. Nicer than my Thunder 148s actually.
Heck, if Tensor Maglight trucks didn't destroy threading on the axles so easily due to being weaker material, they would be a 10/10 truck to me. The grind is also buttery smooth, unlike any other truck. I also just love low trucks, but can't say the (much) higher Ventures were ever a problem to skate because of that.
@@PHeMoX They aren’t an early indy clone, they just have that look cause the casting they use allows them to go much thinner and get rid of the support truss that most modern trucks have, resulting on that skinny hanger that old trucks had. **form follows function**
The design itself is more of a squary/brutalist vibe which is cool and fresh as fuck IMO.
Actually the biggest “innovation” on them is probably the fact that they don’t have an axle all the way through. It’s split and only goes a bit into the hanger. This is allowed by the much stronger casting aka “reo-casting” that allows them to get rid of the long axle and go much thinner in general. These trucks are 40g lighter (each) than the equivalent Ace or Indy, no forged, no hollow, no titanium. Also impossible to axle slip by design. Check this X-ray: instagram.com/p/CWuPxNovWtu/?
On the truck getting stuck into a position, this is just not true, or this guy has a defective pair. My trucks don’t do this at all, bushings and pivot cups feel amazing and quickly broken in, no squeaking either. His issue can be due to loose hardware that doesn’t keep the truck straight. I had that happen to me in the past all the time.
Also, I’m one of those persons that is weird about turning, its probably my biggest pet peeve. The trucks I was trying before were Ventures V-hollows and while they “turn well”, they don’t turn deep, even after putting some bones meds on them, I wasn’t enjoying them that much tbh... You need a bigger radius to make a full U-turn, while on Lurpivs you can do it in a super tight space. It’s a night and day difference. The turning in these trucks is crazy, you can literally pump by just carving.
So, I’m not giving them brownie points for nothing, if this product sucked I would be the first to shit on them. But they are actually trying something new and give people a new experience, they didn’t try to make your standard run-of-the-mill truck, they took a risk and maybe didn’t hit everything out of the gate (kingpin issue), but once they fix this these trucks will be insane!!
these are pretty sick
They gotta long way to go
105 dollars for trucks is alot
Not all of the lurpivs have that finish. That was the one you chose. You can get them in the shiny metal too.
Since when..? They’ve never shown a shiny version anywhere on their Instagram or site🤔 and the site definitely doesn’t have options for different “finish”. The matte look is from their rheocasting process👌🏼
👏

I’ll buy them from you bro ❗️
This looks like a techdeck trucj
💯
başarılı..
👍
The nuts are metric, that’s what they use in Europe I’m hearing
Machined baseplate. Not strong as Forged baseplates.
Günaydın
He said deez nutz 😆
The reason the nuts don’t fit American skate tools is because there metric and not standard so they will not fit
Metric is the global standard ya fool. Not US imperial. You're all alone with that shit. You and BURMA and LIBERIA. Lol third world countries.
👏👏
👍👍
Guzel
Başarılı
The nuts are made with METRIC messurments. In The real world we use that.
Hi
Dubb.
Hello
I was first comment
T
I genuinely hate how these look. They look like tech deck trucks. I don't care if they're the greatest thing ever, I would never ride them.
Your tool was too small
Yeah, I think I'll stick to my 55 af1s
They look really ugly to me and really happy with my ACE AF1’s ☺️
They look so weird to me, no wanting to offend anyone, but honestly they look so ugly to me, the nuts are European ones which can be easily found just in European hardware stores, they are a pain because when you want to restore your trucks you are obligated to get their own spare parts designed specifically just for these type of trucks, you need an European spanner.
Independent and Thunder for me. I have tried other trucks before like Venture, Fury , Royal, but Thunder and Independent are the best, so far.
Or you could use any socket or wrench instead of euro spanner whatever the hell that is.
Ejdj
First you won’t pin this
Those trucks are horrible looking. I'll keep my AFIs. They skate like butter.
af1’s are my favorite
Those are the ugliest trucks I’ve ever seen 😂
Those ain’t it chief
