FlatFace's 34mm Deli Trux Type 2: 0.7mm taller, 0.6mm shorter, six finishes

Against Original Trux, FlatFace says Type 2 is:

• 0.7mm taller
• 0.6mm shorter in the wheelbase

That's it for published geometry. Absolute height, hanger width, axle diameter and bushing durometer are not in the listing, so anyone telling you the exact ride height is guessing.

What the two numbers suggest — and I want to be clear this is reading a spec sheet, not a session:

• More height between the deck and the wheels means the deck sits further off the surface. On a ledge, the board meets the edge at a slightly different point; on a rail, the hangers sit deeper below the deck before anything locks.
• A shorter wheelbase generally tightens the arc the board turns through for the same amount of lean, and gives the board less length between axles to settle on a landing. Tighter to steer, twitchier to hold straight, in theory.

0.7mm and 0.6mm sound like rounding errors until you remember the whole truck is a few millimeters tall and the deck it's bolted to is 34mm wide. At this scale those are real proportions. Whether they're a felt difference under two fingers is the part no spec sheet settles.

All six are the same model. The split is finish, not geometry:

• Standard · Blasted
• Standard · Silver
• Hex Hybrid · Tiff/Silver
• Hex Hybrid · Ivory/Silver
• Hex Hybrid · Blasted
• Hex Hybrid · Silver

Pricing across the six runs from 43 to 53 dollars at the time of writing, and FlatFace says they are in stock and ready to ship from flatfacefingerboards.com.

What the listing does not spell out: what "Hex Hybrid" changes mechanically versus "Standard" beyond the name, or how "Blasted" is produced. The brand hasn't said in the copy I have, so treat the Hex Hybrid premium as unexplained until FlatFace explains it. Tiff and Ivory are described as colorways paired with silver, nothing more.

Each set ships with 2 hangers, 2 baseplates, 6 locknuts, 8 screws, stock bushings and pivot cups, and one fingerboard tool. The kingpin is described as a "standard" design, with single locked steel axles and locking hardware.

Nothing yet that I can attribute. These went up on 18 September and I have no Reddit thread, Discord message or review in front of me from anyone running a set of Type 2. Any "first impressions" you read this week that go beyond restating the two published numbers are working from the same listing you can read yourself.

That's worth saying out loud because Deli Trux have enough of a reputation that the gap fills fast with confident-sounding opinion. Give it a few weeks and there will be real reports on turning and on how the extra height sits on ledges. Right now there aren't.

If you own Original Trux and they're set up how you like them, there is no published reason here to replace them. A 0.7mm height change and a 0.6mm wheelbase change is a preference adjustment, not an upgrade path, and FlatFace hasn't framed it as one — no claim of better materials, better tolerances or a new axle design appears in the listing.

If you are buying trucks for a 34mm deck for the first time, or you already know you want a slightly taller setup and a tighter turn, Type 2 is the current model and it ships complete with bushings, pivot cups, hardware and a tool at 43 to 53 dollars depending on finish. The Standard finishes sit at the lower end of that range; you are paying the difference for Hex Hybrid and for the colorway, and the listing does not claim any performance reason for it.

The caveat on all of it: everything above is geometry on a page. Ride height and wheelbase interact with your bushings, your deck's concave and how hard you set the kingpin, and none of those are constants across riders. If turning feel is the thing you are chasing, a bushing change is the cheaper experiment to run first.
