A truck for slalom racing made by swiss slalom racers! The offset system provides faster acceleration by direct power transmission, this means more speed and better grip! This is a rear truck only. Extra long 8mm axles for perfect bearing fit.
The OS-Truck comes in three widths: 95mm/110mm/129mm!
Here you can see the 110mm truck:
These two pictures are bad quality, although you can see that there is a bushing cup on both sides of the hanger. This allows precise steering maneuvers.

What a great truck!
I first saw them this spring at Vancouver's first Race/gathering in 18 years at the Chan Center on Daniel Knopf's board. Man, was I stoked. I had just broken my locally made offset and was in dire need of something stronger.
Daniel ordered 2 pair for me and was even able to have one specially
cut down to 95mm. Thank you Martin!
Now all I want is the 129mm to round out the set.
Beautiful design and workmanship, totally recommended.
Cheers
Dan Jackson

True 8mm axles: Nice.
Straight axles: Yes!
I will try them as soon as it's dry here.

Sweet !!
Is that the light or the drak olive green? Any other new colors?
Is there anyone selling AirFlow truck in the U.S. or Canada.
Shipping and the xchange from Switzerland is brutal.
Thansk,
Greg

Well, it's actually only this colour: olive-green
If you are interested in ordering Airflow trucks I reccomend you to order together with some others, what will make your shipping costs much cheaper.
I think we'll soon send a couple of trucks to the States so just tell me if you wanna join the orderer's list.

You haven't searched our website carefully enough:
Go to:
www.airflow-skateboards.com => "Equipment" => Move your coursor over "Trucks" => Thumbnails of different trucks, including the Airflow OS Truck, will appear immediately.
You can also order Airflow trucks by sending me an e-mail:
ramon@airflow-skateboards.com

it worked, but only 100mm and 129mm show up as OS trucks, which I assume are the airflow trucks, and the prices only show for these hangar sizes.

From Martin's first post on this topic
"A truck for slalom racing made by swiss slalom racers! The offset system provides faster acceleration by direct power transmission, this means more speed and better grip! This is a rear truck only. Extra long 8mm axles for perfect bearing fit.
The OS-Truck comes in three widths: 95mm/110mm/129mm!"
I was looking for the 95mm.

from your own post
I prefer
the 95mm for special TS
the 110 for straight TS or hybrid slalom (on a C-81)
and
the 129mm for GS
whatever...

Okay, I see.
That is because the 95mm is a custom made version of the 110mm.
Would you like to order a 95mm?
rmn
PS: This post was written a long time a go. I slightly changed my setup.
PPS: The 129 version will no longer be available unless there will a lot of demand.

I suggested AirFlow set-up a PayPal account as there would be more people ordering their gear.
As soon as they have PayPal up I am going to order a 110 mm to try out on my new C-81.

Yes of course you can join the orderer's list right now.
We're right about to send a couple of trucks to the states.
Drop me an e-mail for definitive interests.

I just received a small shipment of these trucks, and they're gorgeous! Workmanship appears to be very, very good. Can't wait to try one on the back of my bamboo Fatboy. Looks like I'll need to order some spare/replacement metric-threaded axle nuts...
