# 5 –  MaxoFit Freedom

This is from an unknown longboard brand on the market which initially made us sceptical about the product. But we were surprised by the looks, feel and sturdiness of the board. Unfortunately it comes with a major downside, the bearings. Only buy if you are handy and know your way around a workshop. Read full review here.

Urban Wheelz Maxofit Longboard

Pros

  • Solid board

Cons

  • Unbalanced trucks
  • ABEC 11

Who’s It For?

This is a good looking longboard suited for any starter in the hobby. After some retouches this can be a good board.

Value For Money

If you add the extra costs you have to do to make this a perfect board we would say no. It is a pretty good starter for those just breaking into the hobby.

  • Wheel bite

Who’s It For?

It is the perfect longboard for anybody who loves to carve.

Final Decision
