This humble piece of urethane/rubber/plastic is the smallest part of your entire equipment – and it’s also arguably the most important of your whole setup.
The pivot cup is the thing that your truck does all its turning through. This is where the energy generated by you, the skater, meets the shocks, vibrations and forces generated by your wheels rolling over the ground.
A good pivot cup made from a strong, long-lasting material, made to precise tolerances, interacting with a well executed hanger pivot and baseplate, is essential to every truck.
Simply put, the pivot is the heart of how your truck handles. Skimp on the pivot, and the rest of the truck will be wasted.
