Here's some interesting facts.

My 4 year old tensor lows (i think they are lo's, the sign rubbed off) weigh 10.4 oz which is about 295 grams.

The new tensor magnesium response lo's weigh 9.8 oz or 279 grams.

Which brings the grand total weight loss to approximately 1/14th of a pound for a whole board. Is 1/14th of a pound less really worth $50?
Marketing bull**** in my opinion.

Hell yes pull of a steezy tre!!!

Did you suspect them to weigh the same amount as a piece of paper?

Yeah if they are 4 years old, I'm pretty sure the los lost some of it's weight

Yeah if they are 4 years old, I'm pretty sure the los lost some of it's weight

I don't think it is possible for metal to lose weight.

^ well from all the grinding i'd say some weight would be lost

I don't really care about the weight of a setup as long as it lasts.

4 year old tensor lows,
thurrs your pra'llum ma'am.


theyre the lightest trucks on the market.

your trucks are just so light because theyre lows, so it requires less metal to produce them.
and there 4 years old and probly worn down pretty bad.

Nope, not worn down at all. They're the model from four years ago but I've only been skating them since april. Second of all, the lo's baseplate and hangar have the same amount of metal as the mids the only big difference is the angle of the pivot cup and the length of the kingpin (by like 1/8th of an inch). Even if your theory of my trucks being lighter cause their lo's is correct, the magnesiums are lo's as well so your point can be disregarded.
It's just bs advertising, they say they're 25% lighter than the industry standard. Well what's the industry standard? Independent. Of course they're gonna be lighter than indy trucks, there probably isn't a same size truck that's heavier than it.
[/rant]

so...your point is that a truck should be lighter than another one. and you're mad? so what. im skating a pair right now and they're great.

yeah yeah i know what your saying.
but i know for a fact they are much lighter than the standard.
my shop owner has a scale, and he busted it out and shows people it actually is much lighter.
you dont even need a scale to tell theyre much lighter.

im not all sticking up for tensors, i dont even like tensors. but the mighty fist of truth outweighs the finger of injustice outweighed opinons and lies. lol

fo'rizzle.

ok so industry standard isn't tensors ok and not just independent. just look at how much brands are heavy! destructos, independent, thunders? i bet you there is a bunch more. do you expect the same brand that claims they are light come out with trucks that are lighter than their normal standards, di you expect it to be 25% less than the ones already?really, the truth is they are the lightest trucks right now.

I guess but i'm just saying is it really worth the $50 when you can get a pair of lo's for $34? Is 1/14th of a pound less worth $16 more?

There still lighter. Who cares if it's a few grams, they might be stronger you never know.

OMG all that weigting trucks and stuff. i had them in my hands and they are damn light. That should be the ad. Tensor Damnesiums! Damn light!

You know that magnesium truck is the old model.

http://www.tensortrucks.com/

That is the magnesium truck the are adverstising for. Not your 4 year old truck. I dont think that they ever said the magnesium truck was 25% lighter than the standard truck four years ago.

That tiny difference in weight doesn't affect anything. They weigh like. 30-40 grams lighter? If that much. That difference isn't large enough to affect your skating. Plus they bend and break pretty easily. Personally, not worth the extra cash.

I prefer lead trucks.

there like 20 bucks at a local shop here haha

That's exactly what I was thinking. I wasn't bashing them too hard, just skeptical if they're really worth it.
I'll be at the summer series on the 28th bro, are you gonna be skating in the comp?

I held a Destructo in one hand and a Tensor Mg in the other, the difference was astounding.

I don't think it is possible for metal to lose weight.

Stop being pedantic.

Wow, so I just weighed an unused grindking (also pretty old).

9.7oz

Lighter than the tensor magnesiums.

u must have no common sence to answer this your self. A HIGH magnesim truckk would weigh the same as a LOW aluminum truck. They both balance out because one uses less metal but uses heavier metal and the toher uses more metal but that type of metal is lighter hense magnesium. the purpose of that truck is for skaters that like to skate a lite high truck.:icon_bigg

well my brother has been skating for a year and he got some of those because that is all me and him skate tensor and they are soooo light i do not have them i have purple tensors but yeah they are worth 50 bucks dude

Think before you post. First of all you're just assuming what the weight difference is between highs that don't exist and lo's and that it somehow balances out exactly without you doing any weight measurements. Second of all there is no high magnesium truck. Third of all I was talking about the weight of the magnesium LO truck in the first place. There's enough sensible arguing in this thread and we don't need this. Sorry dude but when you come of the bat saying I need common sense I'm gonna chew you out, nothing personal.
I think your post deserves an epic fail.

also dont get tensors i dnt like them. but no not worth 50 more

thats so weird

Maybe you should take the trucks off the scales and skate them, not trying to be an ass, but of course the marketing is gonna be mostly hype. Weight virtually just doesn't matter past the point of personal preference.

Well, that don't bend AND break easily. Magnesium has less tensile strength and is prone to breaking more so than aluminum alloy. Aluminum alloy is much moe malleable and therefore will bend quite a bit before it breaks.

I can guarantee you that a proper test would show less energy needed to accelerate a skateboard in any direction of axis using a lighter truck(s). Whether or not the rider can take advantage of this is another story.

I've skated all of them... To me I see and feel no difference in pop and flip tricks flip the exact same between the two tensors.

ok dont buy tensors just because its "light" or whatever buy em cuz u wanna try a new truck or u like their trucks

they're light..i have a mystery board (light) plus tensor responses (not magnesium) and its light as hell. i think with the mags it'd be even lighter
