Independent Stage 11 Hollow Silver Standard Trucks: Strength Without the Weight
The Independent Stage 11 Hollow Silver is the precision-engineered, lightweight evolution of the world's most iconic skateboard truck. By incorporating a hollow axle and hollow kingpin, Independent has managed to shave off 7% of the weight of a standard Stage 11 without compromising an ounce of the "Built to Grind" durability the brand is famous for.
