In this video I take the Acedeck Ares X5 out to a “race track”… and yeah, I’m using that term loosely. The whole point was to see how this board feels when you’re not just cruising a straight bike path—tight turns, quick transitions, and that constant push-and-pull between stability and agility. Acedeck’s new Hyperlink truck system is the headline here, because it’s basically trying to remove the guesswork from dialing in handling while still keeping the ride fun. My big takeaway is that the Ares X5 is built to cover multiple use cases without feeling like a one-trick setup. It can do street performance, but it also makes sense for short-track style riding where you want confidence in the corners and predictable control. If you’re looking at the Ares X5 and wondering if the truck system actually changes the experience—this ride session is exactly that real-world test. And if you want to support the channel, you can use my code ACEDREW to save $25 on the board.
