    Tensor Lo have the best turning and maneuverability of any trucks I've tried. I skate everything from parks to ditches and even just cruising to work and back with these babies. They pivot sooo fast. I'll never buy anything else. All around great trucks!!

    Tensor Lo are awesome trucks!!! ive had my trucks for 3 months, and never had a problem with them. ive done all kinds of 50-50s, and never really had a problem with the kingpin..theyre bushings are out of this world, there response is quick and predictable, and along with the slider piece to add to your nose and tailslides, theres nothing to lose. exept for your old crappy trucks.

    Tensor Lo are light. The don't last long the bushings are horrible, and they snap fairly easy. I like indys better they last years longer are heavier but you can ride them looser and they are more reliable

    Been skating for twenty years and have owned most of the trucks out there. Always rode indy's for obvious reasons but switched up when i got less aggressive. Gotta say i'm thoroughly impressed with tensor, although i did have to send a pair back to tensor for replacement. The king was wearing loose in the baseplate after a few years of light skating. No problems from them, just had to pay for shipping to get a new pair. I've bough another set as well, i like them so much.

    I have Tensor Lo mid magnesium response. I've had them for about 7 month. They are the best!!!! they're lighter than silver A-class with wheels on them. And another good thing is that they don't rust. They have very responsive turning and grind alright. After doing stairs a lot they start to bend. If you skate concrete ledges the hanger or base plate may break.

    Supposable Tensor Trucks are guaranteed not to break, which I though was a good thing. I am finding it impossible to get in contact with anyone from the company, the website is absolutely useless. Save yourself the frustration and get a different truck.

    Awesome trucks buy them if you skate street. The only bad point is that the splider piece wears down too fast, this could be improve for other Tensor Lo skateboard trucks.

    Tensor Lo skateboard trucks are awesome. I love using these. I just put them on my skateboard and they are great. So smooth and look great as well. Definitely recommend these skateboard trucks.

    This is the best street truck on the market. Very lightweight, strong axles, interlocking bushings, baseplate nubs. The Tensor Lo can be expensive skateboard trucks though.

    Great. The kingpins are not to high, but not low, however, they are low enough to do 50-50s. They are light. They grind really well, and they are strong. But agian the bushings arn't good, get some doh dohs.

    They are great! The problem is that many people make it so tight that the bushings slides out of the truck if you know what i mean, so basically i do have the same problem and i have broke the ring and the kingpin because when they are so tight all the force is put on the ring and kingpin. Next i bought some new ones and i put it in my board so i start skating a bit, then i tightened them a little bit and again skated and then tightened. I did this a few times and have had no problems. They are ...

    I've owned two pairs of Tensor Los and I've never been anywhere close to wanting to buy new trucks... Tensor is the way to go if your looking for a tight ride but keep a nice style.
    I've road industrial trucks silver trucks and venture trucks and independent trucks and all of them don't even compare to the performance of tensor trucks...
    Tensors are great for beginners or pro's.....

    I had these Tensor Lo trucks for about 3 or 4 months. From the first day I had troubles. Something is always wrong with the turning and the bushings crack all the time. The slider has its ups and downs. Bad points are they crack all the time and if taken out, the whole truck is screwed. Good points are they take away force. Over all I wouldn't recommend these trucks. If you are looking for good tensors try the Mids, my friend has a pair and they are much better then the Lo's

    Tensor Lo's are terrible! Don't waste your money. Buy some Independent's, Royal, Tracker, or Thunder Trucks. Kingpin sticks out too far. These trucks seem to be too loose or too tight. They never seem to break in and I have skated on them for three months. They suck for grinds. I do not recommend them to anyone who likes to do vert or grind.

    I bought these Tensor Lo Skateboard Trucks because Rhodney Mullen made it. Once I skated it I know why he modifed it like this. Exelent flip, and light with enough strength. The only problem is grinding. The sliding piece does not work as you might think and the metal wears down very fast. I grind hard material like concrete ledges and it can't hold up to it. Once it wears down enough it would start messing around with your kingpin. Recommend for flatground skaters and ledge olliers but not for ...

    These Tensor Lo's where probably the best skateboard trucks i've ever owned next to krux. They lasted me for about two years before the axle striped. The only real complaint is that the bushings take a long time to break in.

    These Tensor Lo trucks do feel very nice, but after skating for 5 years, I know what to look for in trucks. The kingpins, if you wish to tighten them, stick above the hangar, making rail grinds impossible. If you like loose trucks, then fine. Also, the bushings stick. If you turn left, then step off the board, the bushings will remain that way until you turn right. The stay left or right, and if you want to prevent this, tighten them. This, however, brings up the kingpin problem. Other than that ...
