[2]The most visible feature on a Tensor truck (not including the Response model) is the polymer baseplate slider.
Tensor implemented a grade-8 buttonhead kingpin with machined splines on it to prevent it from spinning in the baseplate.
Independent, Thunder, Venture, Krux, Fury, and Destructo have since implemented buttonhead kingpins.
In 2008 Tensor released their lightest design yet using magnesium and touted to be 25% lighter than the industry average truck.
The axle and the kingpin bolt are both hollow in design to eliminate material weight, thus increasing overall lightness.
As of August 2014, the team roster for Tensor Trucks consists of: Notable ex-team members include, Chris Cole, Chris Haslam, Kanten Russell, Ronnie Creager, Enrique Lorenzo, founder, Gailea Momolu,[3] Dave Mayhew,[7] Ryan Sheckler,[8] and Jake Duncombe.
