Before OVNI, there were only generic surfskate trucks on the market. Just like in surfing, there is no single equipment that is 'good for everything'.
IT'S TIME TO EVOLVE!
OVNI IS THE ONLY BRAND IN THE WORLD offering different surfskate trucks for various surf styles, wave types, and skill levels, that TRULY simulate a surfboard!
The only single axle truck in the world without curve limiters. By far the lightest surfskate truck and the most agile and responsive on the market.
Where to surf with it
With this truck, it is possible to surf on flat surfaces and small waves (flat and slightly inclined surfaces).
Which surfskates can be created with it
It is used to configure surfskates that simulate the surf of a Mini Simmons and shortboard, as well as enabling the creation of the first and only children's surfskate in the world.
Measurements
Axle height (from the center of the axle to the base): 54mm
Truck width: 148mm
Weight: 389g
Combinations with OVNI rear truck
This truck has the same height as the OVNI rear truck, so it can be used in combination without the need for pads.
If you want to raise the truck (increase the height), you should also raise the rear truck by the same measure. For example, if I want to use a 7mm pad on the ORION truck, I must use the same pad on the rear truck as well.
Customization
The compatible springs with the SIRIUS truck are the standard spring that comes with the truck (medium hardness) and the soft spring, to make it even more agile or suitable for children.
The soft spring can be purchased in the store, under the ACCESSORIES category.
Recommended wheels
From 60mm to 65mm in diameter. It is not recommended to use larger wheels, as they become disproportionate in the setup. For children's surfskates, we recommend 60mm wheels. For adolescent and adult surfskates, 65mm. There are also some good roller skate wheels, starting from 55mm, that we tested and had satisfactory results. If you want to purchase them, we recommend testing before.
Recommended shapes
For children's surfskates, mini cruiser or modified street shapes are advised. For all other surfskates, cruiser or surfskate shapes are typically used, as long as they do not exceed 32 inches in length.
Shape curve preferences are a matter of personal taste and desired performance: concave shapes with tail, flat shapes, or convex shapes can all be used, as long as the truck height is compatible with the shape's form and the wheel size, to avoid "wheelbite" (wheels touching the shape during turns).
The ORION truck is an integral part of OVNI surfskates and is mounted on the SHORTBOARD FOR FLAT, MINI SIMMONS, and KIDS models.
The only single axle truck in the world without curve limiters. After the ORION truck, the lightest surfskate truck in the spring truck category. The most agile and responsive surfskate truck in the world.
Where to surf with it
With this truck, it is possible to surf on flat surfaces and small waves (flat and slightly inclined surfaces).
Which surfskates can be created with it
It is used to configure surfskates that simulate the surf of a longboard, funboard, and fishboard.
Measurements
Axle height (from the center of the axle to the base): 62mm
Truck width: 204mm
Weight: 488g
Combinations with OVNI rear truck
This truck has the same height as the OVNI rear truck with a 7mm pad.
If you want to raise the truck (increase the height), you should also raise the rear truck by the same measure, plus the 7mm pad. For example, if I want to use a 7mm pad on the SIRIUS truck, I must use a 7mm pad + 7mm pad = 15mm total pad on the rear truck.
Customization
The compatible springs with the SIRIUS truck are the standard spring that comes with the truck (medium hardness) and the hard spring, to make it less agile and offer more control at high speeds.
The hard spring can be purchased in the store, under the ACCESSORIES category.
We do not recommend using this truck with a soft spring unless the user is very lightweight (child-adolescent).
Recommended wheels
From 65mm to 76mm in diameter. It is not recommended to use larger wheels, as they become disproportionate in the setup. For more agile surfskates (e.g., FISHBOARD), we recommend 65mm wheels. For larger surfskates (FUNBOARD), we recommend 70mm, and for very large surfskates (LONGBOARD), from 70mm to 76mm.
Recommended shapes
For medium-sized surfskates (32" to 40"), you can use classic longboard shapes with concave, or concave and tail, or even flat or convex shapes, depending on personal taste and surfing style.
For large surfskates, classic longboard shapes (flat, solid wood) or sturdy pressed shapes with concave should be used.
In any case, carefully calculate the truck height to ensure compatibility with the shape's form and wheel size, in order to avoid "wheelbite" (wheels touching the shape during turns).

Double axle truck, without curve limiters, powered by a single spring (OVNI technology - "SSS" - Single Spring System). The lightest, most agile, and responsive double axle surfskate truck in the world.
Where to surf with it
With this truck, it is possible to surf on any surface, from flat to bowl.
In the bowl, however, it truly shows its purpose: the only surfskate truck in the world with which it is possible to perform real surfing maneuvers, such as edge switching on the wave wall, or tubes and cutbacks on inclined surfaces.
Which surfskates can be created with it
Its radical nature makes it the standard for tri-fin boards (shortboards).
Measurements
Axle height (from the center of the axle to the base): 76mm
Truck width: 148mm
Weight: 531g
Setup configuration
This truck has the same height as the OVNI rear truck with a 7mm pad + 15mm pad.
It is perfectly configured to work with classic 65mm surfskate wheels, and we do not believe there is any need to modify the distance between the truck and the shape.
Smaller wheels (60mm) can also be used, but in this case, there is no change in the truck height in relation to the shape. We do not recommend using larger wheels (70mm or more).
The ideal spring is the standard medium-hardness spring that comes with the truck. It is up to the user to choose between a hard or soft spring, possibly depending on the rider's weight.
Recommended shapes
We recommend the classic medium-sized shape (30" to 34" depending on the rider's reach and size) with concave and tail curves. This is the most radical setup, allowing full control of the equipment on various surfaces during maneuvers.

Classic TKP truck, modified to enhance its performance in surfskates: II GENERATION. Lightweight and durable, it features some unique characteristics described below.
Measurements
Axle height (from the center of the axle to the base): 54mm
Truck width: 204mm
Weight: 325g
8-hole baseplate
Just like the bases of OVNI surfskate trucks, it can be mounted on shapes with any type of hole pattern (either "street" or "longboard").
The same base as OVNI surfskate trucks enables the use of OVNI aluminum pads to customize the truck height from the shape.
Additionally, mounted on "street" hole-patterned shapes, the axle distance can be customized by 10mm per truck, with a range from 0 (closed base) to +20mm (open base).
Precision pivot
Well-machined, this truck's pivot moves around its axis without prematurely wearing out the pivot cup. This not only provides greater durability but also increases the precision of turns, and for longer.
Built-in washer
Instead of using traditional steel washers to hold the bushing in place, we opted to embed it in the base itself. This eliminates one more component and makes the truck lighter. The built-in washer is perfectly machined to accommodate all OVNI bushings.
Reinforced base
There's nothing better than having a truck that consistently executes precise turns. For this to happen, it is essential that the kingpin remains firmly in place, without any slack in its insertion into the base. That's why specific points of the base were reinforced.
The OVNI REAR TRUCK - II GENERATION is an integral part of OVNI surfskates and is mounted on all OVNI surfskates.

Everyone knows that the larger the scale, the higher the profits of a company. Product diversification brings logistical complications and increased costs, all of which decrease profit margins. Companies that don't make money go bankrupt, that's obvious. If a company's sole focus is profit, it does not contribute to improving the industry it operates in (in this case, the surfskate industry)
OVNI saw something missing in the world of surfskating.
There was no real concern for surfers' desires to find more diverse equipment, equipment created for specific ground conditions, surf styles, and skill levels.
OVNI believes that it is possible to reconcile "making a profit" with "improving the world."
From the very beginning, OVNI believed that addressing surfers' needs would be its way of improving the world, and continuing to be active in making it better and better.
OVNI created trucks without curve limiters because the purpose of a surfskate is to simulate the movement of surfboards, and as everyone knows, surfboards have no curve limiters, balance devices, or anything of the sort. Surfboards are completely free, and the balance on all axes of the board is solely determined by the surfer.
So why does OVNI, and only one other brand in the world, offer trucks without curve limiters? For two reasons:
The best way to avoid falls is not to limit the equipment, but to get the proper learning: start with a surfskate instructor and use equipment designed for beginner athletes. As you progress, you move on to more radical equipment, just like in surfing.
Making trucks with curve limiters distorts the nature of the sport because it gives the illusion of practicing surfing, but takes surfskating further away from being like surfing.
How can the Eiffel Tower in Paris or the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco be so light and yet not fall? Because both are the result of great design!
Calculating where the various points of an object are subjected to forces like compression, torsion, and expansion is a science: “Add more metal here because that’s where the energy is discharged, or remove metal there because it’s unnecessary and only makes the truck heavier…”
But creating a new surfskate truck, the lightest in the world, that is still incredibly strong and durable, is an art!
It’s not just about the calculations; you need disruptive ideas. Simplifying the technology was one of our main goals, and simplification also means reducing components, especially steel components, which are the heaviest.
The ANDROMEDA surf simulator truck, for example, despite having two axles, uses ONLY ONE SPRING, while the truck of one of our competitors uses up to 3 springs!!
Finally, there’s the question of materials: OVNI uses the best raw materials in the aluminum alloy used in its trucks, free of impurities, enhancing its resistance-to-weight ratio.
LIGHTNESS does not necessarily equate to STRENGTH and DURABILITY.
