Feel: Gives you good turns, really gives you a good experience with skateboarding. They are great trucks and you should get them. They were my first pro skateboard trucks. I ride krux now cause i got a new setup.9/10
Durability: Ok i have had these for two years, I grind everything that I can get my hands on, curbs, ledges, rails, you get the picture. and they are super strong, I ollie and kickflip sets of six steps all the time. Good on durability 10/10
Smoothness of grinds: Ok, they aren't indys but the smoothness is really cool to ride with. It is not so slippery that you can't balance on your board, It gives you better balance and control throughout your whole grind. 9/10
Extras: On some of the trucks, they put a plastic piece on the outside of your trucks so when doing tail slides and nose slides, it won't stop abrubtly that ruins you grind, instead it give you a smooth grid that brings you all the way through.10/10


Overall: Great f**king trucks. Get some fools

my good friend rides on tensor magnesiums, and his cracked on the left side of the rear truck on the hangar, and they are supposedly "garunteed for life". so he took them back to zumiez to get a new set and the same exact thing happened, and it's not like he flies down stair or anything like that. they may act professional on their site when they talk about all their features and every aspect of their truck, but they have a shitty turning radius that's just not for me.

these are ment for the tech skater, and they fail in transition(hang ups). you will either love or hate because the way they turn and how they feel.

they were pretty good, but the "slider" or whatever it is cracked right away (the website says they will never crack) and i am not a very devoted skater. the bushings also started crumbling right as i started using them, and now i will need new ones. i am getting destructos for my next board. They have a lifetime warranty, and are highly recommended.

Tensor response lows.  When I first got these trucks I hated them.  I have been riding indy's for 18 years.  But, after I broke them in. The completely destroyed my indy's hands down.  These are the best trucks I have ever ridden.  And I have ridden them all.   The only complaint I have is that they grind down to the axle very quickly.  But, I would attribute that to the lighter materials that they use in these perfect trucks.

Tensor makes a very precise technical truck and while not for everybody, I like how it responds to my skating.

I am especially fond of their low trucks and paired with wheels 52 mm. or smaller, you get the perfect street tech setup.

The stiffer bushings make for less wheel bite and wobble.

Five stars.

TENSOR ARE SOME HEAVY ASS TRUCKS. BUT IF YOU ARE A STREET SKATER, I HIGHLY RECOMEND THESE. BUT THESE ARE MORE FOR THE HEAVY SET SKATER. THEY DONT FALL APART ON YOU. GOOD TURN. BUT ROUGH RIDE.

  Wow, these trucks are crazy! When they first came out, I certainly thought they'd be too much for the skate market to buy into, though they're still around, and gaining in popularity- no doubt due to the growing technical skaters out there today. While Tensor has integrated some very interesting and agree'ably "nifty" alterations to the otherwise average truck, comes greater chances of overall fatigue to it's parts. Now, in respects to Tensor and it's buyers, they are a very solid performer, though marketed for a particular crowd (tech). Mullen & Song have been behind this concept from the get-go, for a very good reason; they work much better for the kind of skating that they do. They are skateboarding's technical gods, and deserve the highest level of Caste System-type equipment. If the vast majority were capable of doing nollie 360 flips-to nose manuals and what'have-you's, we might all agree that this is the degrre of precision that we would all want- but we don't. Tensors are in a category all their own, and react much differently than all others. Tensors have become known as the first-ever truck to incorporate a hard urethane slider piece in it's baseplate and unique turning characteristics. And they do turn and react differently. They seem to want to "snap" back into position faster than the rest, but grind down fast if your a grind'aholic like I am. Simply put, they are the Ferrari/Ninja of skateboard trucks, and should be used as such. BOTTOM LINE: the tool of the growing tech trade/ light, low, and incredibly responsive. Has other parts and options not found in other trucks (nibbed baseplate, slider pieces, and blunt-ened axles) but has drawbacks to hard impact skating. The Tensor Response's baseplate can actually shatter if landed hard and incorrectly (see YouTube clip). This design utilizes a high tensile/light-weight material that can break easily if twisted, rather than bending/giving. Tensor is releasing a new Magnesium truck soon(!), both in the slider arrangement, as well as in the Response. Only time will tell if the ultra-light truck will catch on. ~I rate it a 4 because it's just too much for me!

In theory they seem like the best trucks available but (maybe for heavier skaters only) the bushings are god awful. Landing a big trick caused the bushings to stick and even pop out of the base plate at the bottom. I put in some hard doh-dohs and it seems to help a great deal, but I'm still wary of my Tensors. Maybe some more time and I'll trust them again.
