Zealous Trucks Review 

Yeah your review videos are basically the bible at this point. Having ridden these for a season, I wasn't expecting to hear a 40 min detailed description of everything I felt on the trucks, but this is spot on.

I became an immature 6th grader again right at 25:00 Thanks for the unintentional humor bud 😂 I will also be buying some zealous now. Your the second reliable recommendation and I'm moving on to narrowed trucks 🤙

Thank you for your reviuw i bye the New zealous trucks v2 146mm so happy

been getting back into downhill skating, been street skating all my life but i stopped longboarding back in like 2014 so this whole new slalom truck craze is very new to me, been watching all of your reviews and i thank u for it. Still rocking one of my og setups with like 190mm surfrodz for freeride and a big sector 9 daisy but once i get my groove bakc i'll def invest in one of these smaller boards and trucks bc they seem so damn fun and cool looking

would love for you to test some og caliber trucks and compare them to the new cali 3s love your content man🤙

Very detailed, precise and consistent review ! Most of arguments make a lot of sense, and no bullshit here. Bravo

You can also use venom pivot tubes made for Rogue to replace the stock pivot cups

Love these trucks. They really blew me away. Your review is on point. I played around with these a bit to increase the slalom aspect by adding cone bushings roadside. I got real deep turns out of them. The cones defeat the restrictive bushing seats. A nice hack if you wanted to run cones with these. I know a few people running Zealous for GS slalom racing. A little slow on reaction for tight or most hybrid for me but these are a DH free ride truck and not a true slalom truck. But I will say this is one of the best purchases I’ve made in years. The Zealous trucks are a delight to ride.

*Another great review!* 👌🏽🤙🏽👌🏽 I really enjoy these reviews, I'm a big truck geek so I love the depth and detail you go into, not just specs but ride feel/what it feels like to ride and the variations you try. 👌🏽 Additionally, bushing setups/info 🤩 Not many youtube reviews on the WFB formula so this was cool! Personally I wanna try their APS formula, I usually ride Venom HPF, the SHR formula wasn't for me so I'm guessin Riptide Krank won't be for me either. Appreciated the pivot cup and bushing seat info, Very interestin trucks! #TSGPassGang

I’m a lil late to this video, but I rode my zealous for several months with the stock venoms and while I liked them, I didn’t love them. I also brought mine to Tepe, and soon after decided I needed to try riptides. Sadly this video wasn’t out yet so I just had to do some testing of my own. After swapping to riptide (wfb 73/78, 93/95, plus pivot cup), I have experienced big performance improvements from the trucks. They feel better for both downhill race-y riding as well as freeride. The riptides gave me a lot more confidence doing standups at speed, and doing bigger standups at slower speeds. These were my first set of dh slalom trucks, I had tried but not owned ronins and rogues in the past, and would be hard pressed to take the zealous off my board at this point.

You are ripping dude!

I loved this! Your explanation and demo on the progressive bushing lean on the trucks was great! I'm going to steal your riptide bushing setup and buy some WFB's to match how you currently run your Zealous trucks. How often did you try the different truck widths with the spacers? Do you think that would impact how they freeride / race?

thank you for this video, also have you been told you look like the guy from brooklyn nine-nine?

Curious are you gonna try to get the wider v2s at any point. Curious as to what you think of those, if you ever ride them here in the future, I have the v1s and I love how they feel. Honestly been riding 73/78 front 90/93 in the back. Getting some seismic bushings to try in them here soon. But dope video and extremely informative. Imo.

WFB is like around 6A's lower than HPF in terms of hardness. 93A WFB feels similar to 87A HPF imo. Your front trucks are not softer than double pink Venoms? edit: WFB orange (78A) and green (73A) would make it feel comparable to HPF 72A (approximately the pink) and 67A (no HPF duro available).

Hello Owen, I always enjoy reading your in-depth reviews. I am a rider who enjoys gradually increasing the speed and difficulty by gradually increasing the wheel width and decreasing the hanger length. I've recently been thinking about purchasing my first narrow precision truck. The thing I'm most interested in right now is a zealous truck, and your review was very helpful (even though there are very few zealous truck reviews). One thing I'm curious about is, does the kingpin on the rear base plate(even if wedging it about 6 degrees to make it about 25 degrees) make it impossible to core a wheel (not only small freeriding wheels but also downhill wheels with larger cores)? It's a pessimistic guess because it has a low angle and tall bushings, but I'm a rider who enjoys coring, so I'm asking just in case.

Awesome review, I've been looking into saving up for my first pair of precision trucks. It was a tie between a set of DT Haki's or a set of Zealous Trucks. Bro, you basically jsut told me exactly what to get lol 😂 Also, what deck are you using in the video? I know you said it, but i couldn't quite understand what you said. So, if you could pleaaase lemme know the deck 🙏🙏🙏

Im looking to get these trucks as my first dh slalom trucks. What are your favorite dh/freeride wheels for techy stuff? Not looking for wheels that grip like a vice but i want something that'll slow me down smoothly. Im not a racer, I just like having fun and skating hard-ish. Thanks for the review and any help!

Nice review as ever Owen. Can you tell me what wheelbase length these add? You mentioned in the DH Cybins review that those added 2 1/2” and I wondered how the Zealous compare. Thanks! Andy

Hey have you put 80mm wheels on these trucks? I feel like risers might be necessary depending on the board. I appreciate the review.

What do you think about them compared to Don't Trips, since they are both at the same price point. Great video thanks for the help ;)

I borrowed a set from a buddy for a week but it I didn’t get the chance to mess with the bushings, they were set up pretty similar to how I normally ride my trucks but they felt pretty dead and not lively on slow paths (~30kmh) but felt great on fast runs, it’s what’s stopping me from buying a set cause I skate paths a lot, have you noticed that or does the deadness go away with tuning the bushings?

Hi Owen, how do these trucks compare to Aear trucks K5 & K6.I would really appreciate your input ?❤❤

On a downhill longboard do the wheels have to be aligned with the board or can they stick out a bit
