Ace Trucks, Mfg.

---

Ace Trucks, Mfg. is a skateboard truck brand based out of San Francisco, California.

History

The company was founded in 2006 by Joey Tershay in San Francisco, CA.

Until 2012, Ace was wholly run and distributed by Tershay and Ruge out of San Francisco.

From 2012–2016, Ace was distributed through Diamond Supply Company, a skateboard hard goods and accessories company based out of Los Angeles.

Design

Ace Trucks are 100% Made in China like most skateboard trucks brands nowadays.

Ace trucks were designed using vintage, turn-focused trucks as a design template.

The geometry of Ace trucks is inspired by Independent Trucks, where Joey Tershay used to work. Barrel-shaped bottom bushings are used for stability. The truck design is intended to maximize turning. A slight shortening of the wheelbase (1/4 inch shorter than the wheelbase of an industry standard truck) allows for sharper turns.

Ace bushings have two distinct durometers (91a top bushings and 86a bottom bushings) to avoid the restriction of turning radius that can occur with barrel-shaped bottom bushings.

Design Iterations

• V1 - Slim hanger with the “rocker” (curve).

• V2 - Increased hanger thickness on 44, 55, and 66 models. Still had the “rocker”. Standard axle nuts.

• V2.5 - Identical to V2 except for the introduction of the .38 inch "specials" axle nuts, which came stock.

• V3 - Beefed up hanger on 33, 44, 55, and 66 models. Standard axle nuts. Softer bushings than prior iterations. Eliminated “rocker”.
