The TRAMPA's MAGURA HS-11 BRAKE system is an incredibly powerful braking system that is certain to slow you down or even stop you dead if you squeeze to hard! By mounting MAGURA's Hydraulic Brake calipers (mounted in reverse fashion to that of a bicycle) onto a TRAMPA Brake Hanger & by squeezing the hand help brake lever as you ride, the hydraulic fluid (MAGURA Blood) runs evenly through the system applying pressure through the BRAKE PADS onto the special made 5mm thick Aluminum BRAKE DISKS. The Brake Disks can be mounted to any of the 5 Spoke wheels that TRAMPA offers. This incredibly powerful brake system prevents the need to get down & power slide, your always in contgrol of your speed and when going to quick for comfort will trim your speed suitably to make it around a tight corner without stopping or stop you dead should you so require. This incredibly powerful braking system will allow you to ride in places you have only ever imagined before!
MAGURA are a famous German company who specialise in hydraulic braking systems for bicycles. The HS-11 Hydraulic Brakes are MAGURA's original Hydraulic braking system. MAGURA have over 30 years of testing with this equipment. The HS-11 setup is also well proven to be perfect for our Mountainboarding application - specially when modified to fit to the immense TRAMPA Brake Trucks & SUPERSTAR RIMS. Using some clever mounting holes that we make into the Brake Hanger to hold the Brake Caliper completely steady, a change of cable length is used between the 2 Calipers and by mounting the brake calipers in reverse (pushing out rather than pushing in) the MAGURA Brake system neatly fixes onto the TRAMPA Brake hanger, positioning the caliper in the perfect for the best braking application against the Superstar Wheel...
The TRAMPA INFINITY truck (So called because infinity is for ever) is the strongest SPRING TRUCK in the TRAMPA product range! To ensure the maximum strength possible the Hanger body is made from FORGED ALUMINUM. It is one solid piece! The INFINITY Hanger is fitted with 12mm SOLID STEEL Axles. The Solid Axles are HEAT TREATED. Heat treating steel makes it substantially stronger, more resistant to impact & less prone to rust. 12mm Solid Axles are without doubt the strongest Axles in the TRAMPA range. The Axles are first Glued & then Screwed with a Marine Grade Stainless Steel Grub Screw locking them in the perfect position to mount your wheel too. The Hanger is connected to an EXTRUDED & T6 HEAT TREATED Aluminum BASEPLATE & as it's name suggests the INFINITY HS-11 TRUCK is designed to last forever!!
Once the Hanger has had its Axles fitted it is sent away to the CNC factory to have the Kingpin holes & the MAGURA Brake / E-Drive mounting points precision milled. CNC milling guarantees precision work. It is imperative that all of these important holes are accurately positioned in order to ensure the best performance to the rider, as well as making the Truck easy to assemble & service. The workers modify the back of the hanger by milling a flat surface so that we can mount the Brakes or E-Drive equipment flush against. We then drill an extra hole & insert it with a thread so to be able to screw in a bolt & fix something into it. A small semi-circle "Cradle" is milled at the top of the Hanger, acting as an anchor, it eliminates movement normally associated to a single fixing point. We are able to fix the MAGURA Braking system or the NEW TRAMPA E-DRIVE system into this thread & cradle, making a very strong fix between the two. The HS11 Magura Braking System & the E-Drive system are both very powerful and they need a very strong mounting point for max performance.!
In order to give the "Two Tone Pimp Finish" the INFINITY Hanger is EDP painted MATT BLACK for metal protection & colour coordinating good looks before the CNC work is carried out. The INFINITY Brake Board / E-Drive Hanger measures 16 Inches in total width. When the wheels are fitted to the Hanger, the board has a "center wheel width" of 15 Inches.
Once back from the CNC factory the MAGURA HS11 Hydraulic Brake calipers are filled with MAGURA Brake fluid (MAGURA Brake Blood) before being then fitted to this Hanger! The Brakes come to you as a pre-assembled set, including BRAKE DISKS, SPACERS & specially made M4x52.5mm Countersunk BOLTS ready to fit the Brake Disks directly to your SUPERSTAR Wheels. The MAGURA Brake system is very powerful. It can be fitted to the front or the back of the board to suit your riding preference & will stop you faster than you have ever imagined before! It has transformed the riding experience for many riders, opening up what was previously un-ridable terrain into easily conquerable terrain.
The HS11 Hydraulic Brake System is designed to fit the 35° HS11 Brake Deck or the 35° HolyPro Deck without any modification needed at all. The HS11 Truck will also fit to any 35° TRAMPA Deck, but as the calipers take up a lot of space on the hanger, some modifications may be needed to be made to the deck, in order to create the space to house them to allow the deck to steer correctly.
M5 x 12mm Countersunk Allen-Key Bolt - Marine Grade Stainless steel with locking paste
Made from A4 Marine Grade Stainless Steel, all of the nuts, bolts & screws used in a TRAMPA board have proven to be up to the challenge of holding everything together. Using Marine Grade Stainless Steel also means these Bolts will never rust on you! They can cope with the harshest of weather conditions & will laugh in the face of sandy/salty beaches or muddy freeride tracks - which can turn other manufacturers’ nuts & bolts into corroded rusting wrecks!
Wherever possible, we dip all our bolts into BLUE THREAD LOCKING PASTE, to ensure an extra strong & secure fix between the nuts & bolts.
The head of this Bolt is COUNTERSUNK, meaning that when screwed into position it sits flush & neat with the surface its screwed into. Preventing bolts from standing proud eliminates the chance of anything getting "snagged or hung-up" should it get caught on something..

You can see the new & growing TRAMPA STREET CARVER range of products here...
The INFINITY Baseplate is, as its name suggests, designed & built to last forever! Aircraft grade 6061 Aluminum is forced through a Die to create our re-enforced extruded profile. Extruding Aluminum ensures consistent high quality strength. Once Extruded the Baseplate is T6 Heat Treated. Heat treating extruded aluminum fuses the molecules even closer together making it as strong as possible, enabling the INFINITY Baseplate to easily cope with the extreme stresses of all types of off road boarding.
Once Heat Treated, the profile has its fixing holes punched into position & then its Bead Polished in preparation to be Anodised Silver. Once the colour has dried, the Baseplate is then returned to the factory for the precision CNC Machine to accurately mill the Kingpin holes, giving the exact precision required for constructing the Truck.

Custom Kingpin for Spring Trucks - M8x80mm Nikle Plated, Stainless Steel or TITANIUM
This 'M8 x 80mm Spring Truck Kingpin' is used to connect the Hanger & the Baseplate on any of TRAMPA's Spring Trucks.
Using high quality metals & sizing down to a 8mm Kingpin, we have managed to save loads of weight whilst retaining all the strength necessary for the job!
This M8 x 80mm Kingpin uses an 8mm Washer to support the busing from the outside & a 6mm washer to protect the bushing on the inside side & connects into an M6 Nut. You'll need a 4mm Allen key to hold the Kingpin & a 10mm spanner to tighten/loosen your M6 Kingpin Nut.
This Kingpin pushes through plastic bushings before being placed into position in the Truck System. The Plastic bushings allow the metal parts (Hanger & Baseplate) to move freely inside each other without allowing the metal parts to touch or wear out.
The plastic bushings will wear out over time & use & will eventually perish & need replacing. SO, make sure your Bushings are always in good working order after riding riding or when upgrading your Kingpin, it might be time to replace them too due to the unavoidable wear & tear of moving mountainboard parts.
King Pin Bushings have different thickness bases & fit into all Spring Trucks
The 2mm Kingpin Bushings are pushed into the holes of the SAVAGE Hanger & sit tightly in position. They hold the Kingpin in a wear-free position between the moving metal parts of the SAVAGE hanger & Baseplate.
The Bushings allow the movement (steering) without wearing out the metal parts.
The Kingpin bushings are a small perishable item. They are subjected to a lot of forces & stress, although they are now supported by a 2mm Kingpin Bushing re-enforcement ring, through regular abuse they will ultimately wear out & eventually need replacing.
Depending on what surface you are riding on & the nature of your riding style will depend on how long these bushings will last you.
To make sure your trucks are always performing at their best you should keep some spare Bushings on the shelf at home & inspect these them on a regular basis (preferably before riding) & in particular replace any bushings that are showing signs of wear & then even if they are not broken from time to time replace them anyway...
One way to check your bushings is to man h&le the truck when fitted to the deck... If you feel any play between the Hanger & the Baseplate then you definitely need to replace the bushings straight away before you do damage to the hanger.
Worn out Bushings will cause the kingpin to rub in the Hanger kingpin hole... The kingpin is much stronger than the Aluminium used to make the hanger & the kingpin will wear a nasty hole of you do not fix the problem before it gets too late.
If you ride with trucks that have play in them, then you are lining yourself up for an accident... If you feel any play, this can at speed convert to wobble & we all know riding with a board with a wobble will lead to accidents, so it is wise to check your bushings & rings on a regular basis.
The difference between the four bushings is the thickness of the base. The different base sizes are 1mm, 1.5mm, 2mm and 2.5mm. 2.5mm is the standard size we work to. As all trucks have 4 bushings this .5mm difference in each of the bushing bases allows us to bridge a maximum distance of 2mm (4x.05mm=2m) resolving any foreseeable problems.
Kingpin Bushings 3mm Base - for Spring Trucks
The Kingpin Bushings sit tightly in position & hold the Kingpin in a wear-free position between the moving metal parts of the hanger & Baseplate.

The TRAMPA DAMPA is a Urethane Elastomer that fits inside the Spring of a Truck. Its purpose is to support the Spring & give extra resistance during steering. Its clever design has three balls stacked & connected on-top of each other. The middle ball is slightly fatter than the outer two, during steering they all compress against each other giving greater feed back in your turns. This stacked design gives a fantastic progressive feel to steering.
By varying the SHORE DUROMETER (Rubber Hardness) strength of the Urethane mixture, we can control the amount of movement in the DAMPA. This in turn allows the rider to custom tune the resistance of their steering perfect to their requirements. The spheres of the DAMPA fit perfectly into the cup of the specially made TRAMPA SPRING RETAINER which is the part that locates & locks the Spring in the the TRAMPA SPRING TRUCKS, and they instantly start to work with the slightest movement from the rider. TRAMPA DAMPA's work in harmony with the rider, supplying the perfect amount of steering resistance whilst eliminating all chances of speed wobble. Now available in 5 different steering resistance's for all levels of rider out there, Orange DAMPA's are for easy steering, whilst White DAMPA's are for the totally committed!
Turning the Spring Adjuster clockwise pre-loads the tension in the Spring and DAMPA. This can be adjusted on the fly to suit the terrain & conditions. Turning the spring adjuster too much will put pressure on the DAMPA & eventually it may split. Rather than putting too much pressure into the DAMPA, consider up-grading the DAMPA to a harder Shore Durometer as this will most likely increase your performance than over tightening a DAMPA that's not stiff enough for you.

Spring Adjuster - Marine Grade Stainless Steel
TRAMPA's very own & very special SPRING ADJUSTER is made using A4 MARINE GRADE STAINLESS STEEL & is guaranteed never to rust on you! The Spring adjuster is fitted to the trucks once the springs have been pushed into position. The spring adjuster pre-tensions the steering suitable for the rider’s requirements. We designed the Spring Adjuster to be slightly shorter in length than other brands’, to avoid the tip of the adjuster poking through the internal of the Spring Retainer, and interfering with the performance of the DAMPA located on the inside of the Retainer.
Should you need extra resistance from your steering because you wish to ride fast, or if you need more steering because the course is twisty, then you can very easily & quickly adjust the resistance of your steering by simply turning the spring adjuster in the correct direction. To get the most out of your trucks on changeable terrain, simply use a 4mm Allen Key to make your adjustments. Winding the Spring Adjuster clockwise increases the steering resistance, which in turn restricts wobble at high speed. Turning the Adjuster anti-clockwise loosens the steering allowing a more carvey ride.
DO NOT over tighten your Spring Adjuster, as this may crush your DAMPA. If you need more steering resistance upgrade your DAMPA's & do not over tighten!
TRAMPA's MAGURA HS 11 BRAKE system is an incredibly powerful braking system developed solely for the TRAMPA Trucks. The MAGURA Brakes give you the ability to transform your riding range, making terrain you had previously thought of as 'Off Limits' into new & easily ride-able or even dream-able terrain you just have to ride! You will quickly gain a new air of confidence in your ability by riding with the MAGURA Hydraulic brake system!
By gently squeezing the hand held brake lever this incredibly powerful braking system will progressively slow you to a halt or squeeze hard & it will skid you to a stop! Squeezing the HAND HELD BRAKE LEVER forces the MAGURA BLOOD (hydraulic fluid) through the pipe system, equally pushing the BRAKE PADS onto both of the 5mm thick Aluminum BRAKE DISKS at the same time. 10mm Brake disk mounting spacers position the Brake Disks perfectly against the mega-strong T6 Heat Treated SPOKES supplying plenty of space either side either side of the disk gaining good ventilation, maintaining cool operating temperatures & therefore eliminating Brake fade over prolonged periods of use such as long Alpine descents...
