8 STD Decks

There are two standards—8 Standard (STD) and 12 Standard (STD). The numbers 8 and 12 refer to the diameter of the axle used, meaning either 8 mm or 12 mm. 

Why a 12 mm axle? A larger diameter means a stronger and more robust system. The 12 STD system is primarily about wheels, but to ensure compatibility, forks and decks must also be designed to fit this system. 

Most wheels use an 8 mm axle, meaning that most forks and decks are only compatible with the 8 STD system. In this subcategory, you’ll find decks that are compatible with 8 STD wheels. 
However, things are not always that simple, and some decks in this subcategory may also be listed under 12 STD, as certain decks are compatible with both 8 STD and 12 STD wheels. 

When choosing a deck, pay attention to wheel width. Wheels come in different widths, so make sure the one you choose is compatible with your deck.
