What a journey. And we’re just getting started.
Lunar Light was created at 2HEX. A skateboard manufacturer producing components for brands worldwide.
You’ve probably ridden one of our products without knowing it. Ask any core skateboard brand about 2HEX and they’ll likely know us.
In 2020, we launched our own brand, 2HEX Forged Trucks, aiming to build ultra slim, lightweight trucks.
In 2023, we started experimenting with magnesium alloys, combined with hollow axles and kingpins. I (Nick, the one writing this) remember that phase clearly. I had to travel to meet customers abroad, just as the first magnesium samples were being finished. I couldn’t wait, so I asked the team to airfreight me a set.
When the box arrived, I thought they’d forgotten to pack the trucks. The box felt empty. But inside… there they were: the first Lunar Light Trucks. I was shocked. I knew they’d be light, but this light? I put them on a scale:
248 grams at 8 inches.
No truck even came close.
From there, we pushed harder. We opened our process publicly on Instagram, asking skaters worldwide for feedback. From underground tech geeks to pro riders, ideas poured in. The result? Lunar Light IV.
At first glance, they look like regular trucks. But pick them up and you’ll feel the difference instantly.
– Magnesium baseplate with a longer wheelbase for control.
– Slides on the baseplate instead of the wheels.
– Inverted kingpins for better grind clearance.
– Forgiving geometry, so the trucks stay straight. Even when your landings don’t.
