although these trucks are very lightweight i have found the strength to be a bit of a downside..i bought a set about 2 months ago and they have taken some heavy skating sessions in that period.the ride is fantastic and you get a really responsive feel from your trucks.my only criticism is the strength.so it all depends on what you are looking for in your trucks.buy them by all means but be prepared for that tear jerking moment when your base plate sheers and you land on your ass.althoguh i have stated i would recommend them to a friend it is purely subjective on the skating style,ability and frequency of use.

Royal 4 Trucks are the best trucks ever. I just got back into skating and used to ride Royal Original Lows all the time, they were literally all I bought for several years until I quit. I was gonna get the Evo's or these and although I can't speak for the Evo's since I opted for the 4's, these are amazing!!!! Mike Caroll said their geometry combines the feel of a low with the performance of a high and after riding them for a couple weeks now I couldn't put it better. I have the amazing pop and flick I look for in a low and the control and stability of a mid or high. For how light they are they also seem incredibly strong, and so far have needed no adjustments after handling a few abusive skate sessions. Buy these featherlight badboys now.

I personally think that these are the best trucks money can buy. I just got another set of royals and they have great pop and there insanely light but still strong.
