sector 9 rasta n8v (native) longboard review
The sector 9 rasta n8v longboard is perfect for is great for cruising and can be good for mini-ramp riding, however I don’t recommend it for much else. The sector 9 rasta n8vhas wheel cutouts to help reduce which is great when grinding coping or taking those really sharp turns. The rasta n8v also has a small kicktail which makes it ideal for sharp turning and ramp riding. The n8v also comes with a super short wheelbase for sharp and precise turns (this is where the wheel cutouts really help). I recommend the n8v to anyone looking for a good cruiser or board for riding those mini ramps.
The sector 9 n8v comes with san clemente trucks and wheels but I highly recommend purchasing some of our premium trucks and wheels. For trucks I recommend getting chargers or bombers normally for boards with a shorter wheelbase I recommend sidewinders but these would cause the board to turn TOO sharp, stick with the chargers or bombers (maybe even independents) and you should be fine. For wheels I recommend buying sector 9 wheels in a 60mm or higher. The n8v comes with abec 5 bearings but I recommend buying reds bearings they’re only 10$ extra and they really do make a major difference
