            RACE CAR
TECHNOLOGY APPLIED
TO A TRUCK
Just like a race car, our skate-board
truck is built for high performance in
combination with low weight. The entire, all
aluminum truck only weighs 300 grams (11
oz.). The V-shape, moncoque type hanger
and a recessed, inboard mounted king-
pin virtually eliminates hang-ups. An 80/20
weight distribution between the sus-
pension and the spherical pivot defines
the handling of the truck.
Polished, high strength metric axle shafts
increase wheel bearing life and improves
ride control. Internal lock-up of the steering
prevents abrupt stops during sharp turns.
After a decade
dedicated to
automotive design, Mecatron is ready for
a change. Aren't You?

SEQUENCE: XENO
Above is a fantastic photo sequence of Mario Rubalcaba. He is featured
in this advertisement to provide you with visual information about our
sensational new product called HPL. It is not your ordinary slick bottom.
It's a thin 6 ply skateboard combined with a vertical laminate to provide
strength and a better slide. These decks are available in pro-models such
as Mario Rubalcaba, Mike Chu, Jason Corbett, and Tom Boyle.
