Compatible Truck Sizes

For a 10.07" deck like the Santa Cruz Knox Firepit Reissue, the truck axle width should closely match the deck width for optimal performance. Only Independent Trucks and Venture Trucks are included:

• Independent Trucks:

  • Size 169 (10.0" axle width): Perfect match for 10.07" decks, offering maximum stability for pool and vert skating.

  • Size 159 (8.75" axle width): Narrower but compatible, providing a more agile feel for park skating.

• Venture Trucks:

  • Size 6.1 (8.75" axle width): Compatible but narrower, best for skaters prioritizing maneuverability over stability.

  • Note: Venture does not offer a 10.0" axle width, so Independent 169 is the best match for stability.

• General Guideline: Trucks with a 10.0" axle width (Independent 169) are the best match for this deck, while 8.75" trucks (Independent 159 or Venture 6.1) offer a narrower stance for agility.

Preferred Wheel Sizes

The 10.07" Santa Cruz Knox Firepit Reissue deck’s wide, old-school shape supports larger wheel sizes suited for pool, vert, and cruising:

• 56-58mm: Ideal for park and hybrid street/transition skating, balancing speed and grip for carving and technical tricks.

• 58-60mm: Best for pools, ramps, and skateparks, offering faster rolls and momentum for smooth rides over rough surfaces.

• 60-62mm: Suited for cruising or heavy transition skating, maximizing speed and stability in bowls.

• General Guideline: For a 10.07" deck, 58-60mm wheels are most popular for pool and park setups, while 56-58mm wheels suit mixed terrain. Opt for softer wheels (80A-83A) for grip in bowls and harder wheels (83A or higher) for smoother surfaces.
