The bear 852's are great ! I love them and recomend them! But the only problem is the stock bushings aren't that great.
They are pure awesomeness. !!!!

A great truck for someone who wants one truck to do it all.
Best Cast trucks
ThatOneGuy
I weigh 130 and I bent them in about six months Because I early grab off of BIG stair sets but they have the best feel off any truck I've ever ridden It's like gullwing randall paris and tracker had a four way. :)
Great!

I first got them when I bought a Landyachtz Switchblade, and loved them. I have since bought another pair for my other board, and prefer them over and Gullwing truck I've tried.

Great!

These trucks are awesome! They can take a beating and they last a long time. I have had 4 sets of these (3 black 1 Raw) and the black look a little worse when they get scratched but its alright. They are great for downhill and amazing for freeride. I now ride caliber 50s and bears are just as good. I would reccomend these to any one beginner or expert.
AWESOME!!!

I've been riding them for about 1 year now and I can honestly say that these trucks are super stable for DH, AMAZING for carving, and pretty good for sliding. Definitely worth it.

This Is For The 240 lb. Guy That Bent His Axle. i Weigh 311 lb. And I Have Had No Problems With These Trucks.
240# rider+bear 852= BENT AXELS!

Have them on a 9two5 with flashbacks and abec 7 independent bearings with speed rings and bearing spacers. Rode them less than a month. Never dropped off curbs or did any early grabs and they BENT!! Pretty disappointed.

After doing dh with randals I felt that these trucks were amazing because they are more versital than the randals. I set them up on my demonseed delight and they are great.
sure do take a beating

Bear Grizzly 852 Longboard skateboard trucks are super strong and stable down hill. They are complete with a 52 Degree Base plate and a 181mm axle. The stock bushings are 84A which feel nice for cruising and carving. The wider axle give you more stability and decreases your chance of wheel bite. They are really maneuverable well when you replace the stock bushings with Soft Venom Barrel bushings. The 52 degree baseplate generally favors carving and cruising riding styles but harder barrel bushings turn Bear Grizzly longboard trucks into exceptional downhill trucks. Unlike other longboard skateboard trucks for downhill, the recessed bushing seat really creates a feeling of stability at high speeds. You don't have to worry about your bushings moving around inside the seats. The Bear 852's Longboard skateboard trucks definitely are up there with great trucks like Randal and Paris longboard skateboard trucks. You should try the Bear 852 trucks with Venom Eliminators and Venom barrel bushings for Downhill and Freeriding.
New Trucks!
Adrian
Bear Grizzly 852's are amazing! I was about to get Paris 180's but then a friend recommended me these and Im glad he did. These trucks are sick at downhill and I have my trucks lose so I can also carve a lot. I have a Landyachtz 9Two5 dropthrough so my board is extremely low when I flip. Great stability and nice carving either way. It squeaks a little when you turn but I don't really care it's all about the ride. Rocking Daddies Bowrd Shop for life!

Can You Put Venom Cones On This Board ?
bear 852's
Jimmy
Day 1 I should have taken my Bears back. They were making more noise than a harley. Pulled the hangers to change bushings and noticed the pivot cup was pressed too deep into the baseplate and there was a lot of metal grinded off around the hanger where the nub enters the cup. Also, the baseplate around the pivot cup was ground up. To top things off, there was sharp metal ridges on both hangers on the actual nub that the whole truck rotates on. The bushing seats are some of the weakest I've seen, but the newest release with black pumpkins all around have nice bushing seats. Don't know why the pivot bushing was so deep, but I put a little piece of foam under the new cups and all is good for now. Shouldn't have to do this with a new truck. My friend got the new releases and they seem great in comparison. I will be writing Bear.
Really Nice Trucks
BWise
Extremely stable at high speeds. Ive done near 40mph with the 52 degree setup with no wobble. When flipped i have no fears at all. They are great for sliding (i ride a switch with purp durians) and carving isnt bad. My friends paris' on his dirvish carve a bit better but so does that board. but on my switch the grizzly trucks do the job i want and do it well. Go for it for just about anything. PS i am riding the original bushings and they are really nice. i usually ride with the bolt almost off just for the extra fun. Good luck shoppers

Got these to replace some ageing RII's and couldent be happier with them, my RII's had a hard life but even considering that these feel stonger and more solid, the casting is very nice and definatly a step up from randal, riding mine unflipped on a switch for freeride, suprisingly stable for how turny they are, I actualy like the stock bushing setup but stock bushings are no mesurment of a good truck, clearly alot of thought went into the design, I like how tight the pumkin bushing fits into the hanger and is fully suported by the basplate on the bottom
Love em
Jeff T.
Have a pair of these on my Landyachtz switchblade. Makes that freaking thing carve so hard with the trucks set up pretty loose. Then when I crank em down or flip the hanger I am set for bombing. The other day was going about 20-30 mph and I was rock solid. I like these much better then the other trucks I have used. The paris don't feel as solid, and the Randall-II can't carve as hard. WORTH IT.
852s
Hunter
high quality trucks for a great price. got them for my drop speed and they work perfectly. they dont use a bottom washer due to the base plate shape which is nice. flipping the hanger puts your board a bit lower and still carves well. perfect width great quality aluminum with matte black doesn't scratch as bad as paris. bushings are fairly soft. for dh i recomend 2 venom barrels and maybe some 840s for more stability
turns on a dime.
c holmes
i got these trucks and was a little hesitant about them. i got them and they are the smoothist riding trucks i tried so far. and they turn on a dime. great for free riding and switch them around for downhill and your good to go.
Wicked trucks
Zachariah S.
i have been longboarding for a little over 3 years now and ive used alot of the mainstream truck companies. gullwing, paris, randalls, revenge(horribly fragile trucks), indys, etc. right now i have my bears on my tan tien with stock bushings and i would just like to say that these are by far the best trucks ive used. the stock bushings let you carve and pump like a mofo, but when your ready to bomb that huge hill your staring down its great to know that you can just whip out your skate tool, flip the hangers for downhill, tighten them up and bomb! These in my experience are the only true all purpose trucks. did i forget to mention how badass these trucks look too? especially if you throw some black wheels on them for that ninja look. keep it real kiddies. know your limitations!
Depends on what you want
Wise-1
I have had these on my landy switch for a few months now. They are really awesome. Despite other reviews they dont squeak. Down Hill they are sweet. Never get wobble(the nice board helps too). The only thing is the bushings are pretty solid so if you wanna carve get a replacement set that are softer and keep these for your needs of speeds. But i bought them for downhill and im extremely happy.

I have ridden on these trucks for a couple of hours now, not that long, but long enough so that I can get a feel for the truck. I have ridden both at a 57 degree and a 47 degree settings and they are both great in their own regards. The 57 is nice and turn-y, with little to none speed wobble on small hills. Turn the hangers around and you have e decent downhill truck, with no jittery turns on medium hills. While on 57 degree setting, I came down around 20 on a light hill and I had to make 1 70 degree turn in order to not crash into a snowbank. I made it with inches to spare and I felt in control the whole time. Over all a great truck that is very versatile and dependable.
Amazing!!
Taycum
I have these trucks on my Sector 9 Mundaka and my Landyachtz Evo <3 I ride the trucks with a flipped hangar, and they are about as loose as I can get em without the bolt coming off. The bolt and nut are pretty much even. They carve like a dream, I can turn around on a narrow residential road easily. They slide, and they are still super stable. The only time I got any bit of wobble on the Evo is when I hit a rough surface going about 25mph. Get them for downhill!!!
satisfied
Nick
i like these trucks alot they do everything i want in style. they turn hard and dont wobble on downhill runs. my only complaint is that it's very hard to tell which way your hangar is flipped, maybe i'm just missing something but i had swapped my trucks from one drop thru board to another and realized that my hangers were being put in at random. currently i ride them with who knows which are flipped and which arent, but still they ride great :)
Great Trucks
That Cool Kid
I think these trucks are even better than the old Bears. They have great stock bushings, the Pumpkins, and they are very responsive. They turn very easily and quickly, making for a great carve, but are at the same time incredibly stable, even when unflipped.
Good solid stuff here, probably get another set for my next board someday
Mule2017
I was sceptical at first being only a Randal rider, but I wanted to broaden my horizons a bit and check these guys out after reading good reviews. Spot on! these are surprisingly awesome for both cruising and downhill. I could feel them getting more stable the faster I went. Teamed up with a Landyachtz Switch deck, stock pumpkin bushings and my Durians they work great for freeriding and sliding, and teamed with my Abec11 BigZigs and dual Venom eliminator bushings they make a great downhill setup. Havn't ridden them flipped mainly because I don't need to yet. They're that good as is. The only con I can see here is that they are a bit tough to take the hangars off. The kingpin is mounted from the board side so without unscrewing the baseplates you can't take off the kingpin, thus removing the hangar you scrape it along the KP a bit. Nothing bad, just something to watch out for. Overall rating: HELL YES!!!
Versatility is key
Ethan
I've been riding these trucks for a little over a year now, and I don't think I have ever ridden a more versatile truck. It's got enough stability for DH and just enough manueverability for freeride. I love em, and I bet you will too. Oh, and all that about flipping the truck around for DH or whatever, I wouldn't worry about that. It just makes them ride awkwardly.
all around
Garret
just got these trucks last week and they are great. there stable for downhill but you can still carve and everything with the flipped hanger.
Pivoteables!
Julián Sinesi
Muy buenos trucks, aunque el hanger se suele doblar con el tiempo. Por lo tanto no son tan recomendables para freestyle. Pero para DH, freeride, y carving, son muy buenos!!! La base viene con 52º, pero como el ángulo del pivot cambia, entonces el ángulo se convierte en 57º, y si das vuelta el hanger, queda en 47º, dando mucha más estabilidad! Vienen con bujes de 83, que para carving o freeride van bien, pero para DH quedan blandos!
Pivot Cup
Steve
My experience with Bears deal with loose pivot cups- play btwn the cup and baseplate, not btwn the hanger and cup. The only fix is a strip of electrical tape around the cup. Any one else experience this?
good trucks
Connor
really nice trucks for carving and freeriding, but dont listen to em about flipping the hangar cause it makes the whole truck flop, just tighten them.
bear
brian
the bear trucks are sweet!!!!, very good for down hill, and great for carving!!!, they do take a wile to break in.
unsurpassed for price
snowman
these trucks are amazing i can have them as loose as i want dh and still never get the wobbles i would suggest these trucks for anything cause they are carving machines and nice and steady
great trucks, ok bushings
w
These trucks are amazing. The only downside is the pumpkin bushings. I have the green ones and they have very little rebound. I hope to upgrade to some elims soon. Overall, these trucks carve really well, while still remaining stable.
very good
lokmb
these trucks are awesome they turn well and are very stable and i like how you can flip the hanger for downhill all around great trucks
Great DH and freeriding truck
Evan Smith
These trucks are great! they carve very very well with the stock bushings but when you put a harder bushing (95a barrel) and i have it loose enough to carve but i can still hit low 30s without tightening them or flipping the hanger! so they are a very light (lighter than paris or randalls) that are also very stable and strong! I highly recomend these trucks to anyone!
Best trucks
Tom
These trucks are the best! I have these on my landyachtz switchblade and drop carve 36. Very good for carving and cruising, and you can flip the hanger so they are more stable for dh. The stock bushings are kinda soft, and I suggest getting harder bushings for dh. I have 85a barrels, and now they are the most stable trucks. I have gone around 40 mph on them with no wobbles. I suggest getting them for any types of riders, and they are worth your money. So get these trucks, and I hope you like them. Thanks!
SWEET!
Alex D.
These trucks feel amazing on any board you ride them with. They have amazing turning ability! But, the stock bushings are way to soft for going down hills. I weigh only around 100lb, and I had to crank down the bushings to go down big hills. But, it your more into carving and freestyle like i'm getting into now, the bushings should be alright. If you do find the bushings to soft like me, the best thing to do is to buy some venom eliminators, preferably ride them roadside and you should be ready to shred down the gnarliest hills.

These trucks took a little while to break in. But once they are broken in they are terriffic
yes
bob
very good looking. screwed a little tight out of the box but just loosen them about 3 or 4 half turns and theyre great. also, contrary to what ive heard, mine dont creak/squeak and they are completly quiet. these are good
Sam Abramsons perspective
Sam Abramson
very structurally sound truck. switched the bottom pumpkin with an eliminater 85a VERY stable with the flipped hanger on my demonseed
biggity bears!
Martin Spunkmeier
Well, Im a stickler about bushings and i have to say im not a fan of the stock bushings but that wasnt going to stop me from enjoying these trucks! I set them up for higher speeds with a 91a shr barrel boardside and a 90a eliminator streetside. When I flip the hanger they are super good for downhill, for very fast downhill. But with them regular they are super poppy and responsive! I love them! Cant wait to try the precision grizzly's!
Not the best, not the worst
Southern boarder
When I first started longboarding I bought these because of there superior style. They performed to my liking, but I didn't ride on enough trucks to compare. I would place these some where in the middle between randalls and parises with randalls being the best. The stock bushings are soft but don't supply enough response. These trucks are great for downhill, but they will not supply you with much play when it comes to carving.
hella good
don
When the hanger isn't flipped they can carve great with the black pumpkins. When you flip the hanger you can do some serous bombin.
