Loaded Truncated Tesseract Longboard
Loaded Boards is proud to now offer single-kick (Cantellated) and no-kick (Truncated) variations of the Tesseract. Inspired by Loaded ambassadors’ DIY deck-chopping experiments, the Cantellated Tesseract offers a lighter and more compact alternative for those who love to shred and ollie with unidirectional style, while the Truncated Tesseract is a pared-down platform for canyon-carving and downhill-racing geeks.
The Truncated Tesseract has gone through autotomy, dropping appendages in favor of a more traditional and race-driven shape while retaining all the performance-driven ergonomics and construction of its precursor. The board retains maximum width all the way back to the bolts for high cornering leverage and security during slides. The nose tapers gently to more effectively accommodate the front foot in a forward-facing speed tuck and is unobtrusive while drafting and riding in tight packs.
Beyond their distinctive shapes, these new boards share symmetrical rocker, pronounced wheel well flares, wide and tall W concave, and multiple wheelbase options with the Tesseract.
