ACE Trucks – the story of chasing the perfect turn and independence

ACE Trucks was founded in 2007 by Joey Tershay, who built his vision around one simple idea: creating the best-turning trucks in skateboarding history. With huge experience in the hardware industry, Joey decided to go back to the roots and refine the geometry that allows for unmatched smoothness and responsiveness when controlling the board. Over nearly two decades, ACE Trucks evolved from a niche project for those in the know into a global force trusted by thousands of skaters around the world. The brand’s history is constant evolution – from classic castings to technologically advanced AF1 models. ACE Trucks is a brand born from a passion for carving and smooth transitions between tricks, becoming the number one choice for people who expect more from their setup than just stability – they expect life and dynamics in every move.

AF1 Hollow and AF1 Low models – lightness and precision for the 2026 season

The current Selectshop offer for the 2026 season is dominated by the most technically advanced variants from the AF1 series. The AF1 Hollow model draws special attention, as its hollow axles and kingpins significantly reduce the weight of the whole setup without sacrificing durability. It is the ideal solution for riders looking for lightness during high airs while keeping the legendary ACE turn. The photos also show the AF1 Low version, designed for fans of a lower center of gravity and smaller wheel diameters. This model offers even better stability on landings and outstanding control during technical tricks on ledges. Both models are made from ACE’s proprietary high-density aluminum alloy, which translates into smoother grinds and less resistance on the edges of rails and ledges.

AF1 technology – built-in re-threaders and reinforced construction

What makes the ACE AF1 trucks in our offer stand out is the innovative nut system with a threading function. Each set includes bonus nuts that work like repair dies, refreshing the axle thread every time you tighten your wheels. The AF1 construction has been reinforced in key hanger areas, preventing deformation even when hitting concrete edges. For the 2026 season, we focus on the classic polished finish, which not only looks professional but also provides the lowest friction during grinds. Thanks to precisely cast bases and hangers, ACE trucks offer symmetrical turning and an instant return to center, which is key in technical street skating, where every fraction of a second matters when setting your feet for the next trick.

How is the AF1 Hollow different from the standard AF1?

The AF1 Hollow model features a hollow axle and hollow kingpin, making it a few percent lighter than the standard version. Despite the lower weight, the use of high-grade steel and harder aluminum means this truck keeps the same resistance to impacts and grinds. It is a premium version for people who care about the lightest possible board.

Who are ACE AF1 Low trucks made for?

The AF1 Low version is a few millimeters lower than standard ACE geometry. It was created for people using smaller wheels (usually under 52 mm) and those who prefer a more stable setup. A lower truck gives faster pop and better control during technical tricks, but with loose bushings it may require thin riser pads to avoid wheelbite.

How does the threading system in ACE nuts work?

AF1 series trucks are equipped with special axle nuts that act as re-threaders. If you hit the axle against a concrete ledge during a session and damage the thread, screwing on this special nut automatically “repairs” the cuts in the steel. Thanks to this, you do not need any external axle repair tools, and changing wheels stays simple and hassle-free.

How do I match ACE truck size to deck width?

ACE sizing is specific: model 33 fits decks from 8.0 to 8.25 inches best. Model 44 is the ideal choice for decks from 8.25 to 8.375 inches. If you ride a wider 8.5-inch deck, model 55 will be the optimal size. It is worth remembering that ACE offers a wider hanger in relation to the base, which gives more stable riding while keeping high maneuverability.

Do ACE trucks require changing bushings right away?

ACE Trucks are known for having some of the best stock bushings on the market. They are quite soft and responsive, allowing smooth turning straight out of the box. However, if you prefer a very stiff setup or your weight is higher, you can consider switching to harder ACE bushings, but most riders appreciate that characteristic loose “vibe” straight from the factory.
