⚡ YOW Signal 28.5″ City Cruiser
The YOW Signal 28.5″ City Cruiser is designed for daily journeys, relaxed rides and urban carving. Its 28.5″ × 8.25″ dimensions make it convenient to carry while retaining a proper skateboard platform. The artwork is by Julia Schimautz.
★ A compact deck with two kicks
The seven-ply maple deck combines medium concave with a raised nose and tail. Concave provides foot-placement cues, while the two kicks offer leverage for manoeuvres and kickturns with suitable technique. The 14″ wheelbase creates a compact setup for direction changes around town. This format particularly suits riders who value portability and a relatively close stance.
⚡ Traditional trucks and soft wheels
The 149 mm YOW TKP trucks use traditional skateboard geometry, supporting pushing and steering through weight shifts. The 92A Ultra HR cone-and-barrel bushings contribute to steering resistance. YOW Lurra 60 × 40 mm wheels in 78A help smooth small surface irregularities and provide grip through turns. ABEC 7 bearings and Jessup griptape complete the setup.

The Signal makes sense for riders seeking a cruiser that is easy to carry for short journeys. Its appeal lies in the compact double-kick deck, TKP trucks and soft wheels. Check that the 8.25″ width and 14″ wheelbase match your preferred stance: portability comes with a compact standing area. Pushing and foot braking remain the key skills for everyday use.
