What styles do Thunder do? And what's the difference?

Thunder trucks come in a variety of different styles which while all similar, have a few key differences that set them apart, let us detail them below for you to make the choice a bit simpler.

Out of Thunder Trucks we have a few key styles stocked which never fail to please, these are:

• Thunder Team Editions - The Team editions are the classic style and shaped Thunder trucks, hosting premium grade kingpins, which aren't gonna get ground down within a week (making it impossible to loosen your trucks). They are also lightweight and ultra-responsive sitting at 50mm axel height and providing quick turn geometery. A classic staple for any board.
  
  
• Thunder Lights - Thunder Lights are a lightweight alternative upgrade to the classic Thunder Team Trucks, these feature hollow premium kingpins which maintain the same durability but also are a lot lighter than your standard kingpin. The Lights also have an aluminium baseplate and a 49mm axel height, making the Thunder Lights significantly lighter than your average truck without compromising in quality.
