Prob not the best for freeride/dh. I used to use this same set up on my evo, they hold their geometry like a Smokie, but you can have diiferent springs on your heel and toe sides. IMHO they'd be good for cruising or carving, but you'd want to get another 45* baseplate as the 35* takes alot of the carvey ness out. All of that aside, they're a well made truck that still works on reverse kingpin geometry and can be fine tuned in ways that other trucks can't.
