Bear: Grizzly 852 Black Longboard Skateboard Trucks
Product Description
Motion Note: Bear Grizzly trucks are a versatile cast truck with a sleek appearance. Tight bushing seats give the trucks a stable centerpoint while the flippable hangars let the rider choose between quick-turning response or stability. Available in 40 and 52 degree baseplates, the Bear Grizzly longboard trucks provide the rider with the best of both worlds in terms of maneuverability and stability.
The 8mm axles allow for more versatility of bearing choice when compared to their 10mm cousins. The 52* plates are the most carvable of the Bear truck series. When the hangers are not flipped the angle is 57*, resulting in a lot of carvability and responsiveness. When flipped the hanger angle is at 47* which is far more stable but still high enough to get leverage on turns and maintain its carving potential.
The Grizzly`s have been designed to be the benchmark in longboarding trucks. A better, more exact fit and finish than other brands as it is gravity fed die cast in Canada. The axle is 181mm wide, providing a nice stable stance.
Grizzly`s will come set up to carve. Carve as hard as you want with more precision and control than ever before, they are super rad carving trucks.(57 degree angle).
When it comes time to start bombing and racing your friends, flip the hanger and you have a wickedly competitive down hill speed truck (The 47 degree angle paired with the 181mm hanger width makes for a stable speed truck).
How dose this flipping measurement work? Well, the bushing seat is recessed in the hanger, and the bushing seat and pivot nub are angled. So from the middle of the pivot cup to the middle of the axle is 57 degrees for carving and flipped for downhill it is 47 degrees.

Very nice Review by Cliff
Quality Price Performance Ok, so ive had the bear grizzlys for around a month, so far so good. They are a very smooth ride, stock bushings are quite soft and allow some very smooth pumping and carving. They look proper cool, can be used as drop through or top mount and the hangers are flipable so this gives you even more settings for it. Theyre at an ace price.
Despite all this I have had some problems, when purchasing these I was ensured by the company I got them from that they would cope well for light downhill, with this information I decided to hit a local hill, hit around 35mph, so 58 / 60kph and started to hit a horrible speed wobble, they started getting unstable at around 30mph, 50kph. Even after flipping the hanger over I couldnt feel a difference in the stability at speeds.
So if you want a truck for downhill, dont get these, go for some randals or something. Despite this they are an amazing truck, super smooth for carving and sliding and looks sweet!

A beautiful truck Review by Willbur Von Willis
Quality Price Performance a great all around truck, for carving and moderate downhill . they are hard to break, have a nice construction and can last you a long time. if you want a higher speed freeride or dh truck, go with the 840s. (Posted on 12/11/11)

great truck for the money Review by dudeinhat
Quality Price Performance Ok so my friend had a pair of gullwing stalkers and these were more stable flipped, still more carvy (even though he had 81a super carves and I had the stock bear bushings) , and still more stable unfliped. The bears were also waaaaayyyy easier to work on, and 20 $ cheaper. He ended up getting bears too. (Posted on 8/20/11)
