45º Risers for Longboard and Skateboard

45º longboard and skateboard risers: stop your wheels biting the board

These 45º longboard and skateboard risers are large risers that stop the wheels from biting (rubbing) your longboard, cruiser, penny, surfskate or skateboard.

Thanks to their wedge shape, they can be used as medium (8 mm) or large (14 mm) risers: depending on which side you place towards the board, you get more or less riser (height). So one pair covers two different needs.

They are universal, made of a hard, tough and durable plastic, designed to withstand continuous use without warping or cracking with everyday knocks.

When do you need risers?

If you notice your wheels rubbing the board on hard turns (known as wheelbite) or you have fitted bigger wheels than your board originally had, these 45º risers are the simplest, cheapest solution before you think about changing trucks or board.

The price includes the 2 risers you need for your board. Combine them with the right hardware (a bit longer than usual, as you gain height between board and trucks) so the setup is solid.

They are compatible with the vast majority of standard boards and trucks on the market, not just BeXtreme ones, so you can use them to fix wheelbite on whatever setup you currently ride. It is one of those small parts you barely notice at first glance, but that makes the difference between carving hard with confidence or holding back on turns for fear the wheel will hit the board.

If you still notice rubbing after fitting them, you may need the 14 mm riser instead of the 8 mm one, or check whether your wheels are particularly big for your board.
