KMX Skateboard 22 in Mini Cruiser - Agile Urban Cruiser

Our review of the KMX Skateboard 22 in Mini Cruiser finds it best suited for riders seeking a lightweight, portable board for street cruising and short commutes; the single biggest reason to buy is its balanced combination of a widened 7 in PP deck and upgraded aluminum trucks that deliver stability without heavy weight. The 22 in length and 16 in wheelbase make it nimble for kids, teens and adults who want an easy-to-transport cruiser, while the fully assembled setup with a T-tool gets riders on pavement quickly.

Key Features

• 22 in compact deck: The 22 in length and 7 in width create a stable, compact platform that is easy to carry and maneuver in crowded streets.
• Durable PP construction: A high-quality PP deck is heat- and moisture-resistant, making the board durable and easy to clean after regular outdoor use.
• Aluminum trucks with 85a bushings: 4 in A356 aluminum trucks and high-rebound bushings improve control and balance for smoother turns and carving.
• 60mm cruiser wheels and Abec-9 bearings: Soft 60mm wheels combined with Abec-9 bearings provide grip and speed for a comfortable, efficient ride on pavement.
• Higher weight capacity: The reinforced deck supports riders up to 260 lb/120 kg, so teens and many adults can use the board confidently.
• Ready to ride: The complete cruiser arrives fully assembled and includes a T-tool, so setup time is minimal.

Who It's For

The KMX 22 in is ideal for beginners and experienced skaters who want a nimble mini cruiser for short commutes, campus travel, or casual street cruising. Its lightweight design makes it a good choice for students or commuters who must carry their board between stops.

Riders who need a full-size street or park board for complex tricks should look elsewhere, as the compact 22 in deck and cruiser-style setup favor carving and transport rather than technical skating. Very heavy riders above the stated 260 lb limit should also consider larger, dedicated decks.
