The Shophouse Cruiser as you know it but with even more improvements!

The Shophouse story:

The latest addition to our Singapore Series, we’ve collaborated with @jlron to come up with a new pocket sized cruiser for your daily adventures. Best known for his attention to fine details, the illustration of the shophouse is riddled with intricate details. This juxtaposed with the clean white background creates a refreshing sleek look altogether.

Shophouses in Singapore are timeless architectural icons that are still widely used for residential and commercial purposes across the island. Shophouses have remained as a visible canvas depicting Singapore’s fascinating multicultural and architectural influences over the years.

The bold use of color and fancy tiles, as well as a unique mix of Chinese, Malay, and European elements make shophouses one of the most eye-catching artifacts of Singapore’s rich history.

‘Shophouse Pro’ vs ‘Shophouse Classic’:

Trucks:

We’ve swapped out our Skatebruh polished silver trucks to matte black Ace AF1 33 trucks for greater durability and improved turning radius. These AF1 trucks are carefully manufactured using Ace’s proprietary casting process. Years in development, the ACE AF1 has a 70% increase in the aluminums structural integrity, making it the strongest cast truck on the market. Paired together with Ace’s unique geometry construction, the Shophouse cruiser can now make deeper carves and even pump if you’re into that kinda surfy riding style 😉

Wheels:

We’ve swapped out our Skatebruh Wildcat wheels for Blue Rebirth Macaron wheels (60mm diameter, 43mm, 78a) which offers a rounded lip construction and reduced contact patch and weight. The rounded lip construction improves overall wheel durability so you don’t have to worry about those delicate wheel lips chipping off when riding over bumps and obstacles. With a reduction in contact patch and weight, your board can now accelerate faster with each push allowing you to whizz past sketchy situations when commuting on the streets.

Bearings:

We’ve swapped out the regular abec 7 bearings to abec 11 built-in spacer bearings! This keeps everything in your wheels perfectly aligned keeping them rolling optimally, allowing higher rolling speeds and longer lasting bearings.

– Length 70cm / 27.5 inches

– Width 21cm/ 8.25 inches
