Ace Trucks AF1 44 Inverted Hollow Polished (Sold As Pair)

The Ace Trucks AF1 44 Inverted Hollow Polished (Sold As Pair) is built for skaters who want precision without the bulk. These deliver a locked-in grind feel with quick, predictable turn response. The polished hanger and baseplate show off Ace’s clean casting, while the inverted hollow kingpin sits safely out of the grind path for the lowest grind clearance in its class. A hollow axle helps shave weight without sacrificing strength, and the domed baseplate spreads impact to keep your setup feeling solid from the first push at Garvey Park to late sessions at the El Sereno DIY.

Ace refined every detail for real-world skating around the San Gabriel Valley—from buttery ledges to rough bank spots. True T6 heat-treated baseplates and hangers, SAE 4140 steel axles (slightly oversized to kill bearing wobble), and rethreading axle nuts that revive dinged threads after a slam. 96a hand-poured pivot bushings add snap back to center, while the stock bushings (top 12 mm / 94a, bottom 14 mm / 86a) give you a lively, controllable carve out of the box. Each truck includes a magnetic inverted-kingpin adapter bit so your regular skate tool works instantly—no scrambling for specialty tools at the spot.

Sized right for most all-terrain street setups: AF1 44 fits decks around 8.18"–8.38" (sweet spot 8.25"), giving you confident axle coverage for ledge locks and rail balance. If your board lives between Claremont curbs and DTLA missions, this pair is a perfect blend of durability, board feel, and flick clearance.

Ace has been quietly obsessing over turn and geometry since the mid-2000s, building trucks that channel classic surf-skate maneuverability with modern metallurgy. The AF1 line leveled up their iconic turn with a stronger casting and hardware package—no gimmicks, just parts that last and a turn that feels right.
