Thunder Trucks Buyer's Guide

Another well respected brand from the Deluxe family is Thunder Trucks. Founded back in 1986, Thunder has gone from underdog to big dog in the truck market and it’s easy to see why.

Thunder trucks are extremely lightweight with slim hanger designs that provide a quick response without sacrificing durability through their trademark quick turn geometry.

The Thunder trucks range boast extra strong reinforced hollow axles, custom aluminium baseplates, premium grade hollow kingpins and extra strong titanium axles depending on which model you choose.
