Royal Trucks 149 Raw (Sold As Pair)

Royal Trucks 149 Raw (Sold As Pair) are built for skaters who prefer a little more board under their feet without sacrificing quick response. Finished in a clean raw silver, the hanger and baseplate showcase a subtle cast texture that keeps the look timeless and functional. No paint to chip, no distractions—just solid metal ready for real sessions.

The 149 size features an 8.5” axle width, ideally matched for decks ranging from 8.375” to 8.6”. If you’re riding an 8.5 setup, this is the sweet spot. The slightly wider stance provides added stability for gaps, rails, and faster lines while maintaining the carve and snap Royal is known for. Whether you’re charging bigger obstacles in Pasadena, flowing through parks in Azusa, or stacking clips around Arcadia and Monrovia, the 149 delivers confidence under pressure. Across the San Gabriel Valley, 8.5 setups have become a standard for skaters who want versatility with more control at speed.

The hanger profile is streamlined with a smooth taper toward the axle, reducing excess weight while keeping grind surface consistent. The baseplate is stamped with the Royal emblem and paired with blue hand-poured bushings that offer smooth rebound and reliable turning response. The redesigned kingpin sits recessed for maximum clearance, staying out of the way during smiths and feebles so you can lock in clean without hang-ups. All grind, no grima.

Royal shaved 25 grams off the standard truck design, making the 149 lighter without compromising strength. Hollow axles and kingpins reduce overall weight even further, helping your setup feel responsive despite the wider axle. Built using Royal’s proprietary Fusion Cast process, these trucks are engineered to be stronger than forged models, built to withstand repeated impact and heavy street sessions.

The refined geometry enhances turning and pop, giving you a smooth carve while staying stable at higher speeds. Hand-poured bushings and pivot cups add durability and longevity, maintaining that broken-in feel over time. Backed by Royal’s lifetime guarantee against factory defects, these trucks are designed to last.

Sold as a pair and ready to mount, Royal 149 Raw trucks deliver lightweight strength, maximum kingpin clearance, and balanced stability in a classic silver finish that pairs seamlessly with any 8.5 setup.
